good idea

Using an iron gives the material a greasy look and it will ruin your piece!

Hi there! What kind of wax do you use? I have trouble finding that kinda of translucent one. I used natural beeswax and it's yellow and thick..

TFS! awesome.... I never have used wax but You can do the same thing with Versamark, stamps,and Tim Holtz distress ink....(or any normal, non oil or alcohol , ink pad) Stamp the gloss paper with Versamark let it dry....add ink like you did! Love the resist effect!! Wax huh? Think I will have to try that!

Could you explain the difference between dye and pigment inks?

[ayellessnuffelhoek]

dye ink is waterbased and dries fast but water makes it bleed. pigment ink is thicker, mostly oil based, needs a pretty long drying time, can be embossed too, and is water stabil mostly. Brilliance pigment ink also works on vellum, but let it dry very good!!
