Morning.
Here is a simple card I made using my watercolour crayons again.
I took out one of my favourite stamps from Penny Black called Hillflowers. That stamp is super for colouring on or just using as a silhouette.
For this card, I using my watercolour crayons. Using a wide paint brush, I wet the stamp with water then coloured directly onto my stamp with various shades of blue and greens for the stems. I gave a small spray of water over all and stamped onto my watercolour paper.
I scribbled some crayon onto my non-stick craft sheet, sprayed with water and used that to add the paint splatters. When that was all dry, I sponged the edges with Salty Ocean Distress ink.
The sentiment is so fun. It is from the Sprinkles and Smiles set.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
Little Red Wagon- DISTRESS IT
Simon Says- LET'S GET SENTIMENTAL
Come and Get It- GOT FLOWERS
CAS on Sunday- CHEER UP BUTTERCUP
