Love this one, Beate! It almost looks like you pressed flowers onto the paper - when we were kids we'd do that so the pigment from the flowers would stain the paper just enough. . .so pretty!

I love this look - thank you for sharing it! Which watercolor crayons did you use? Are they Stampin' Up! or Lyra? I so want some Lyra crayons - they give the neatest look to the watercolor images. Maybe Stampin' Up! will start carrying them if we plead with them. :d Have a great day and I'm looking forward to more of your wonderful creations - Ellen

The watercolor crayons are Lyra. Stampin' Up! doesn't carry them, yet. I sure hope we have them in the next catalog. As well as craft spots...grid stamp...eyelets in every color...military stamps...I could go on and on.
Thanks for all the compliments. You are so nice. I have so much fun with those crayons. You all have to get some. They are so awesome and so easy!!!!!

This is beautiful.. we used to use the Lyra watercolor crayons for face painting when I was younger! I will have to get some fresh new ones to use with my stamping
This is SO beautiful! I love the effect too...does it just not work as well with watercolor pencils? I could just go try it myself, huh. I'm guessing the crayons are a little more...what...emulsified so that they color on rubber more easily.
