The WTUI Challenge today was simple - Color Something. The something I colored was the stamp. First I brushed water on w/c paper, then onto the stamp. I then colored with Garden Green & Elegant Eggplant WCW crayons. I've colored my stamps before with markers but never crayons. My paper dried out quickly, so I misted it after stamping. I let that dry then cut my papers. I then cut a nestie scallop rectangle & centered my flower under that. I marked around the scallops with marker. I didn't know I had some 'gunk' on my work space & it transferred to my card, so I added some ribbon. I also tried to erace a streak of chalk on the top. You can still see it, so it is what it is. I think the photo looks a little crooked but it isn't, just the photographer! I punched all the corners. I really like the amount of color when using the crayons.
Thanks for stopping by.

Very pretty card. Those crayons give it such a soft look when you use them to color right on the stamp. I love the elegant way you framed it with the double black and white nesties.

Karen, this is awesome! I love the way the colors flowed so softly! I love the multiple mats and the scallops that were outlined! Mine would never come out that neat.
Marks on the card- if anyone can figure out where they come from I'd love to hear it. Sometimes they just appear when the card is done too.
