When I played with my Encaustic Wax I made quite a few backgrounds. It is such a great technique! Here is another card I made with one of the backgrounds.
For this background I think I used yellow, red, black and white wax. I cut the background with Circle Nestabilities. It was layered first on a black, then on a white cardstock circle. I stamped the sentiment and star from Verve’s Starstruck in Jet Black Archival Ink.
The card base is a 4 3/4″ x 9 1/2″ piece of Dusty Durango cardstock folded in half. The edges of a 3 15/16″ square of textured Basic Gray cardstock were punched with the Ticket Corner punch. It was stitched on a 4 1/8″ square of Basic Black cardstock and then adhered to a white cardstock square measuring 4 5/16″. The corner of both bigger squares were also punched with the ticket corner punch.
The image layers were adhered to the center of the squares and Silver Kaisercraft Rhinestones were placed around the circles.
For the inside of the card I stamped a 1 3/8″ x 3 3/8″ strip of Dusty Durango with Rusty Hinge Distress ink and the big star image from the set. It was layered on a small black scallop strip and stitched to a 3 3/8″ square of Whisper White. That was then layered first on a basic black then a basic gray cardstock square.
I cut a small circle out of the same background with Circle Nestabilities, layered it on a slightly bigger black circle and stamped the You’re a Star from the Starstruck set in it’s center with Jet Black Archival Ink.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! Hugs and smiles

Wow!!!!!! That is gorgeous Beate!!!
Beate, you are so talented! This is so pretty. I love everything about this! I long to try this technique. I tried crayons, but it didn’t work for me, so I haven’t tried to purchase this wax. You make it look so simple!
This is absolutely gorgeous! What a fabulous background and design.
Beautiful card, Beate. I haven’t tried this technique yet – but I must. You never know what fabulous design you’ll end up with. Gorgeous

Schönes Wochenende und liebe Grüße,

Beautiful card Beate! I started playing with this technique on my VSN challenge and am accumulating some backgrounds to use on future cards. Such a fun technique!
