WT890 Creating with Crayons (March 31, 2022)

[stampingwriter]

Sandy here as your hostess for this week's WTUI challenge.

I suspect the very first art medium I ever used was crayons, and I’ll bet that’s true of many stampers. Today we’re going to return to our roots and use crayons (wax or watercolor). If you’re looking for new ways to use them, there are lots of tutorials to help, and I’ve linked a few below. If you don’t have any crayons or watercolor crayons on hand, use an image that includes crayons.

Tutorials with crayons:

Crayon resist

Melted crayon background

Crayon rubbed embossing

Tutorials for watercolor crayons:

Wet watercolor crayons

Shimmering watercolor crayons

That's a great list of techniques, Sandy. I'm off work today and might try and get out of my stamping slump by trying one.

Fun challenge, Sandy. I had to do a bit of digging to find my watercolor crayons(believe it ot not, I don't have any regular crayons). Thanks for the challenge.
