Are you ready for this???? It's a BRAND NEW technique! Yup, you guessed it, I made it up myself!!! The only other person to see this technique so far was Sue!!! Lucky her, huh?? I subject her to SO much stuff!!! LOL And she is the only one who knows how I came to think of this technique!!! And I'm going to just have to keep it a mystery!!! LOLThis is a VERY fun technique too and it's not difficult to do either!!!
Take your cotton ball and using the rubbing alcohol, wet the watercolor paper. You want it wet but not sopping. Take your craft knife and a watercolor crayon and scrap the knife across the crayon allowing the shavings to fall onto the wet watercolor paper. You do not want chunks of the crayon, just thin shavings. You can use as many or as few colors of crayon as you wish. When the background is as you like it then set it aside to dry. To speed up drying time you can heat dry the paper. You can tell the crayon is dry because it won’t be shiny anymore. Use it as a background or stamp directly on it.
See, not that difficult to do, is it??
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
Wanda

Hello Wanda,
I am a new follower of your blog. My BFF told me about you and once I visited I was hooked. You are truly amazing and talented. I look forward to seeing what you do next and trying some of the projects myself.

Thanks, Wanda, for these wonderful directions!! I look forward to giving this cool technique a try!!
Interesting technique. It is something along the lines of using up all those old crayola crayons. Dunno where I was going with that. Fun!
Oh this is so *cool*!!
