More Watercolor Wonder Crayon Techniques

Thanks to my upline, the Lovely Linda, (check out her blog over there on the right) I have a really cute design showing off another use for the crayons... (Thanks Lovely Linda!)
On a Sahara Sand base card, I have layered a Cranberry Crisp piece, stamped in Cranberry Crisp with the tree branch from Touch of Nature. Along the bottom is stamped the scalloped lace image from Trimtastic again in Cranberry Crisp, with a strip of the stripey Treehouse paper scalloped with the corner rounder punch (remove the guard). A tag stamped with the branch in Sahara Sand and finished with some linen thread adds the sentiment using the black marker to highlight the appropriate words from the William Shakespeare quote from the set. The butterfly is stamped in Basic Black ink on vellum paper, and when dry, coloured roughly on the reverse side with the Watercolor Wonder Crayons to give this beautiful effect... A one and a quarter inch circle punch creates the window, with a slender frame created by punching first the one and a quarter inch circle, then the one and three quarter inch circle around it on Sahara Sand card stock.... Images © Stampin' Up! 1990 - 2007. Don't forget the Just Add Water promotion, with 25% off the Watercolor Wonder Crayons and/or the Watercolor Pencils for each $50 spent on Stampin' Up! products.
