The House That Stamps Built: Designer Choice Challenge

This week at The House That Stamps Built, Esther challenges us

to try a new technique.  I have had Tim Holtz Distress Crayons

for at least a year so I pulled those out.

 

Stamps: Repeat Impressions:  Flower Power Background,  Because
 

 

I stamped my Repeat Impressions: Flower Power Background,and embossed

 it on watercolor paper.  Then I scribbled the Distress Crayons on my mat

and picked my colors up with a watercolor brush.  I did several layers

 in areas for shading and contrasts and made sure to save one

 of the 6 colors in the pack for my background. I added a Repeat

Impressions sentiment: Because.

 

I was having so much fun I wanted to use the crayons in

another way:

Stamps: Repeat Impressions:  Flower Power Background, Thinking

 

I stamped my Repeat Impressions: Flower Power Background again and

embossed  it on watercolor paper.  Then I scribbled the Distress Crayons

across the paper and brushed it with my watercolor pen.  It was not

as smooth a look as I wanted so I scribbled the crayons on my

multi media matt and colored over the layers and got a much

smoother look.  I then added Repeat Impressions: Thinking.

 

Thanks Esther for this fun challenge!
