This is my first time using the pyrography tool on a piece of cardboard, which I reclaimed from the back of a drawing sketchbook. It's a hard pressed 3 mm cardboard. The process of wood burning on cardboard does feel rather peculiar, but in the end it worked fine.
First I drew some main lines to make some shapes which I would fill with pyrography doodles; just like regular doodles only burned onto cardboard. Below you can see the shape of the tip that I'm using, if you're into pyrography.
In the end I decided to add some colors and used acrylics to do the job. For the background I used a sponge dipped in some ochre color acrylic; that's just a fancy name for yelow/orange.
Great design!

beautiful work, did you have to work quicker to avoid burning the card too much or can you adjust the temperature on your tool?

I can't adjust the temperature on this one, but I used the same speed of movement and it didn't burn faster than wood. Maybe because it's thick pressed cardboard, I'm not sure.

Very nice work. Have you ever considered using leather as a medium?

It's hard to believe that's cardboard! I would be terrified of setting the house on fire. I'm hoping to get my wood burning tools by the end of the year. A birthday treat for me. :)

It's cardboard from the back of a sketchbook. Can't wait to see what you make with your burning tool. :)
