I didn't use metallic crayons, I used two sheets of wax paper and my heat tool. I made ten of these cards for Christmas, each one turning out unique.

I have been thinking of doing a aurora borealis background for a stamp set I have and this will work out perfectly, thanks for the tutorial.

I should have added to the iron technique, hold your iron upside down as you use the crayons & don't flip it over until your ready to iron onto the paper. As the crayons are melting onto the foil they are very hot, this is not a project for kids

Fabulous. I haven't tried the heat gun but I do use the iron. All you need to do is cover the bottom of your iron with aluminum foil, set your iron to medium & instead of having shreds of color just run a crayon over the foil , I use 4 or 5 different colors then iron the color onto your cardstock, repeat as many times as you want to fill up the paper with beautiful colors. I use a table top ironing board & just cover with newspaper to keep the board clean. I have stamped a design but have also used, sizzix, cuttlebug & other brands of dies to create art pieces that can be added to cards & scrapbook pages.. I find plain white cardstock the best so you get true colors & of course metallic crayons are used as well as regular. I have also used oil pastels with great success. Try & enjoy

I think you can also use the "glitter" crayons (which seem to be the same as the metallic). Or try Dick Blick (best price I have seen, 2.47 for a box) here is the link.
Also, the metallics are in some of the larger boxes of crayons, the 150 count size.

I tried clicking the right mouse button to click and also clicked on the more button at the top and clicked print. All I got was blank paper both times.

I used to do this with my daycare kids except never thought to use stamps afterwards. Thanks for the tutorial, it looks great.

Kelly- If you add a sandwich of newspaper around your wax paper, that will protect your iron and allow you to melt the crayon
I think this is a cool technique...too bad I gave the amazing set of 250 crayons from the crayola factory the DH gave me to our niece...she is only 2 I wonder if she will be traumatized if I steal them back...

Hi there Kelly,
You could try using a warm iron, but you will get wax on your iron if you do not protect the iron (if you cover the iron with aluminum foil that might help keep the wax off the iron.)
I would try the iron on a medium setting, and gently move the iron around to get the crayon melted and mixed a bit.
If you can, try to purchase a heat gun, I use it for so many things, especially embossing. : )

If you click your right mouse button on the page it should ask if you want to print among the menu choices, mine says Print iPaper
