Watercolor With Caran D'Ache Neocolor II

Hello, and happy Sunday!

I have this card on the Technique Junkies blog today.  I thought I would share it here with full directions on how I made it.

   

I used the SD708 Something Different  stamp.  Here's how I made my card today.

• In my Misti, I stamped the Something Different image, using Caran D'Ache Neocolor II Aquarelle water crayons.  I used the red and yellow to add color to the stamp, then stamped it onto bristol vellum card stock.  

•  Keeping the card panel in the Misti, I added lots and LOTS of pigment from the Neocolor crayons.  I placed the crayons up against the image, then added water so that it would drip down.  I had my Misti propped up on m
  
  y desk at an angle, so that the drips would run down the paper.

•  I repeated, adding yellows, oranges, and reds/pinks until I was happy with the look.

 

•  I used my heat tool to completely dry the panel.  When dry, I inked the image (still in the Misti) with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.  I stamped it three or four times, to get a full, dark impression, as the paper was warped and textured a bit, and had lots of color on it.
  

•  Some ink spatters finish off the card.
  

And that's it!   Pretty easy, really.  And, oh so FUN!  I love playing with messy mediums and seeing how far I can stretch my comfort zone! 

I am adding my card to the DTGD Challenge (Bev's/Texas Grammy) at Splitcoaststamper.
