VC Rocks! Blog Hop - Color My World

If you are following the VC Rocks! Blog Hop you have just come from Laurie Gibson's Blog:  Laurie's Rubber Room.  If you would like to start the VC Rocks! Blog Hop from the beginning please start the hop here: VC Rocks!.  The theme of this hop is Color My World and for my coloring method I chose Watercolor Wonder Crayons.  I colored on of my favorites - the Medallion with the crayons and sprayed it with a fine mist of water and stamped on Watercolor Paper that had previously stamped with En Francais in Soft Suede.  I used my Always Artichoke Marker to add color to my White Baker's Twin which I wrapped my Watercolor Paper with before attaching it to my card stock card base of Pacific Point.  I have just purchased the stamp set that is on sale in May, Word Play and stamped that on Very Vanilla card stock with Soft Suede and colored the water with a Pacific Point Marker.

My next card I again stamped with Soft Suede using the En Francais background stamp, then I misted the Medallion again and stamped it a second time.  This leaves a very soft color on the card that is hard to see in the picture.  I wrapped the card stock with SU Hemp Twine and then attached to Always Artichoke card stock.  I again used the Word Play stamp set for my sentiment and added the globe from the Summer Mini stamp set The Open Ocean.

The third card I used a technique that my daughter taught me where you take your Watercolor Wonder Crayons and rub them along the inside edge of a stencil.  For this card I used our stencil: Small Kind Thoughts Brocade with the Regals Crayons on our Watercolor Paper that had been stamped with En Francais in Soft Suede.  Mist the card after removing the stencil.  The center Basic Pearl was colored with a permanent marker.

Watercolor Wonder Crayon Wall Art Collage

My favorite daughter, Luella (my only daughter, Ha!), came to visit this last weekend.  Our favorite thing to do together is create!  She walked me through using watercolor crayons on tags and I took off from there.  We will be having this class on February 15th & 16th.  The first night we will make the tags and the second night, stamp on them, cut them out and glue to our 12x12 card stock.  Check out my pictures of this fun project:
