I'm back from holiday and easing into a bit of crafting! Lydia set the week's Mixability challenge on Splitcoast Stampers and asked us to go "back to kindergarten" and use crayons somewhere on our projects.
I rubbed white crayon over my
embossed cardstock (leaving it on the folder makes this easier as you can press quite hard with the crayon without squishing the embossing) and then spritzed with a couple of Dylusions colours.
I put a bit of the
fuchsia Dylusions on my cutting mat and used it with a wet brush to colour the
flower. The flower center is Copic coloured with Prismacolor pencil
highlights. Rubons add a bit of detail at the bottom and a sprinkle of tiny gems adds some sparkle.
I decided to go sentimentless on this one and have a multi-purpose card on hand!
Stamps: Large Striped Flower by Hero Arts
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black
Other:
Tim Holtz embossing folder
White crayon
Dylusions sprays (Vibrant Turquoise, Funky Fuchsia)

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a lovely weekend!

I love the background, Joanne. Very impressive. The colours are gorgeous.
Lovely card Joanne and like the addition of the rub-ons and gems, subtle but really effective! x
Gorgeous colours, gorgeous background and gorgeous card Joanne! x
Stunning, Joanne. It makes me think of a coral reef for some reason (might be the mix of texture and colour).
Oooh lush colours. What a great use for a white crayon.
I must try this resist technique sometime - another item on the to do list! Love the look and those colours are gorgeous. Like the white leaf which really stands out. A lovely card x
Fab card !!
