Spiders, Flowers & Snowflakes

What does a spider, flower and snowflakes have in common?  They were all added to these cards using the same embossed watercolor crayon technique from the previous post. 

Embossed Watercolor Crayons & Jewelry Tag Punch

Here are a few more cards that have been embossed and swiped with a Watercolor Wonder Crayon.  Swipe the crayon over the raised areas, and then give it a litle spritz with water.  The Finial Press Embossing Folder is used here.

Here's a closer look at the little Jewelry Tag punch out.

Same technique, Flower Garden embossing folder...

Love the little Jewelry Tag Punch!

Butterflies and Watercolor Crayons

This package of Watercolor Wonder Crayons arrived via UPS on a hot summer day.  Isn't it a beauty?  Stampin' Up! replaced them with no questions asked--they're good like that!  

What to do with melted water color crayons while you are unpatiently waiting for your replacement?  Is "unpatiently" even a word, lol?  While I'm not a patient person, I am good at making up my own words!

 

Start with die cutting a Top Note out of Water Color Paper.  Emboss with Final Press, Vintage Wallpaper, and Petals a Plenty embossing folders.  Peel wrapper from water color crayon and rub it flat against the raised embossed image.  Spritz with water and allow to dry.  Note to self:  do not order water color crayons on the hottest day of the summer!!  By the way, you do not need melted crayons for this technique.  Try the technique, but please DO NOT melt your crayons in order to do so, lol!!!
 

What is it about butterflies?  I am fascinated by them.  They are amazing creatures--to go from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly in such a short time.  I love butterflies and I love to stamp them!  What in nature inspires you creatively?  Happy Stamping!  Bye for now, Maria
