Bonnie's hosting CAS Mix Up Gelatos or Crayons Cards Challenge with awesome samples
by our DT and very talented Jenny (My Paper Epiphany)
I was thrilled to see Bonnie's Challenge. It inspired me to get out my rarely used
T.H. Distress Crayons:-)
Used Distress Crayons + Stamping + Dry Embossing, Sponging and Die Cut
I had so much fun watercoloring my stamped images using my Distress Crayons.
I used the technique from this YouTube Video by Debbie for Ranger:6:32.
I used Strathmore Mixed Media Paper to Dry Emboss my SU "Woodgrain" EB Folder and then lightly colored with Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress Crayons.
Then moved each layer of color around with Baby Wipes.
Die cut my background with MB Stitched Rectangles Die.
Then stamped my SU "Flowering Fields" (ret) using Archival Black Ink.
Next added a little crayon color to my craft mat and spritzed with water.
Using one color at a time and a #2 paint brush, colored each flower.
I used Distress Crayons: Peeled Paint, Twisted Citron,
Seedless Preserves and Chipped Sapphire. Sponged Edge..with Vintage Photo.
When dry, stamped and colored the butterfly and added Signo White Gel Pen
to the the white flowers. Stamped the Hello with MISTI.
Popped up main image onto SU Thick Whisper White CS using fun foam and Done!
I LOVED the results. I had no idea how easy it was to use the crayons for watercoloring
and how much pigment was in the crayons. The Colors move beautifully with a paint brush.
You have until the 24th to play along with your Gelatos or Crayons!
Be sure and check out the videos on the CAS Mix Up Challenge. Hugs..
