The other day at crafts we were discussing gelatos and my friend pulled out her collection of Stampin' Up watercolor crayons which seem to be very similar. She has a fabulous assortment of colors!
To make the background for this card, I selected Barely Banana, Only Orange and Rose Rouge crayons and scribbled them onto my craft sheet. I wet my watercolor paper first with a bit of water and then mixed the crayons with more water, transferring the crayon to the watercolor paper. I just kept playing around with it until I got the desired look. I wanted something soft and spring like.
I rounded the corners of the background and adhered it to a white cardstock card base. I stamped the sentiment in black ink onto a white rectangle. To personalize the card, I added the number of years my friends have been married. That's metallic thread I bunched together and placed behind the sentiment, which is on foam tape. I keep seeing cards with thread on them and wanted to try it out. Must be a new trend.
