Watercolor Crayon Technique

 Every  month I have a new technique challenge on the 

Club Scrap forum. This month I chose for the

watercolor crayons. You can use them to make great quick

and easy backgrounds. Also for stamping. 

Here a quick tutorial.

1. (Above) Start with coloring around your card with

a few colors of watercolor crayons.

2. Take a cup of water and a brush.

Dip your brush in water and paint over the watercolor

crayons. This way you make a wonderful background

for your card.

 3. Here is the finished card, for which I used

Club Scrap Wild Flowes stamps an papers.

 4. Ok, now I just had to make another coffee card.

For this I chose my background with more 

coffee colored watercolor crayons.

 5. As I stated above, you can also color your

stamp with the crayon. For this you dip the crayon

in your cup of water and then color your stamp with it.

6. Here the result of the stamping.

Another background ready for a card.

This technique is real fun and easy.

7. And this is the finished card.

I used Club Scrap Mocha Java card paper

and ring stamp. Sentiment and cup are from the

Brewed Awakenings kit.

 Not only is this a wonderful technique for cards, but
it is also great to make your own scrapbook page
background. You do not have to add color only to
the border, but you can make doodles with the crayond
and add water to color the complete page.

Here is the finished page with hearts of
Michael Strong and

a sentiment by Create with TLC.

 Have a creative day!
