Wax

With metallic wax you can:

• Apply with a sponge: Gently rub the wax over embossed details, stamped images or buttons to create subtle metallic highlights that catch the light beautifully.
• Experiment with different shades: Use gold, silver or copper metallic wax to achieve effects reminiscent of real leafing techniques without the complexity!
• Combine with embossing powder: First apply embossing powder to your stamped image, heat-set it with a heat gun, then rub metallic wax over the top for a luxurious 3D effect that glows.

Emphasizing Relief Details

Wax for relief details is specially formulated to enhance dimensional effects in your creative projects. It adheres perfectly to embossed surfaces, buttons, or fabric elements, creating soft metallic finishes that emphasize every texture.

Try these wax techniques:

• Highlighting embossed stamped images: Apply metallic wax over heat-set embossing for a soft pearlescent glow that makes the raised details stand out beautifully.
• Enhancing fabric textures: Use wax to give ribbons, buttons, or cloth elements in your layouts a vintage organic look – perfect for creating character and depth!
• Experimenting with layer thickness: The thicker you apply the wax, the more dramatic the relief effect becomes. From subtle metallic sheen to bold dimensional textures that pop off the page.

Protective Layers with Wax

Wax as a protective layer is not just functional – it's also beautiful! It prevents ink from bleeding through paper, preserves colors, and adds a soft metallic finish that enhances your work while protecting it.

With wax you can:

• Apply with a fine brush: Use a thin brush to apply wax evenly as a protective layer over stamped images or relief details in your layouts.
• Combine with other mediums: Apply wax over ink layers, acrylic paint, or even fabric elements for a vintage protective finish that adds character and depth!
• Create unique textures: Rub the wax gently over stencils, stamps, or textile surfaces to create effects reminiscent of aged patinas or organic weathering.
