In May my customers had the chance to try out Stampin' Up!'s watercolor wonder crayons. We used several techniques so I thought I'd share some with you here in case you wanted to give them a try yourself. You can check out the cards we made in the Idea Gallery.
1. Direct to Paper: Color onto card stock or watercolor paper. Leave as crayon or blend with Aqua Painter or Blender pen for a soft look. Use single or multiple colors and blend together.
2. Direct to Stamp: Color directly onto stamp with Watercolor Crayons, mist with water and stamp onto card stock or watercolor paper for a fast watercolor look.
3. Direct from Crayon: Pick up color directly from flat end of crayon with Aqua Painter or Blender Pen. Great for detailed areas and intense color.
4. Palette: Share colors or create blended colors by coloring crayon onto Stampin' Store lid, window sheet, or lid of Watercolor Wonder Crayons to create a palette.
5. Pulled Color: Color a portion of an image on card stock or watercolor paper and pull color from one area to another witha blender pen or aqua painter creating a fade effect that adds dimension.
6. Watercolor Wash Background (salted): Create a wash of color as a background or to ground stamped images. Use multiple colors for a background that fades from one color to another or light to dark. With card stock blend background with a Blender Pen. With watercolor paper you can use more water, so use an Aqua Painter or spray bottle with water to create more varied effects. Optionally, sprinkle table salt on wet background for a unique faded and speckled effect.
7. Watercolor Bleed: Two or more colors are allowed to bleed together to create multicolored images. Use with watercolor paper and Aqua Painter.
