Hi stampers, today I am going to show you how I use my watercolor wonder crayons and this card is actually the basis, Certainly Celery and I cut that 4 ¼” x 11” and I scored it at 5 1/2”. The Chocolate Chip is cut at 2” 4 ¼” and then I also added some Celery Grow Grain ribbon the five eight size. The Creamy Caramel is cut at 2 ¾” x 3 ½” and then I am using the watercolored paper and that is cut at 2 ½” x 3 ¼”. You are going to go ahead and stamp your image, which I am using the Boat Loads Of Love and you are going to use the watercolored paper only because it is a lot thicker than your regular Whisper White. It is a 140-pound weight and it is a 100% cotton so it is not going to damage your paper make it warp when you are using the water products with it. So I went ahead and stamped the Boat Loads of Love with the stays on black and these are my crayons that I have when they first started selling them, they sold them in a big tin like this and we got all colors. But now they are selling them in individual color groups, so you can get the whole bull brights, the soft subtles earth elements and the rich regals and then we also sell them in the neutral colors.
So they are still being offered, it is not just on that big tin. Okay and then you are going to use your aqua painter. Now when you purchase this you get two in a pack and this is how you fill them up, you unscrew your brush end here and you will have a little end there and you just put your tap water inside there and you are just going to screw that back on. The water is coming out. Okay, so then to activate it, all you are going to do is—I got a napkin here. All you are got to do is just squeeze out the water and it gets the brush wet and then you are ready to go.
Okay and then the colors that we are using, the crayons are Lavender Laced, Chocolate Chip, Briquette Blue and then the Charcoal, so I went ahead and started the Lavender Lace so it is not so much time consuming on video here. Okay so then I got my brush wet and you do not want it really sapping wet. Okay, so I am going to use the chocolate chip and I am just going to rub my aqua painter on the tip of crayons. Your crayons will last forever if you use them like this even though you can probably, well I know you can, you can color with the image and then use your aqua painter to blend that all in but I just like the use of it when I actually use the aqua painter onto the crayon. And then you are just going to brush that onto your image and the water will activate your color and it will blend all in nicely.
Now if I wanted to—let me clean this off here and you do want to make sure you do clean aqua painter between colors so it does not transfer. So you are just going to squeeze it until it runs clear, but if I just take water and I just add plain water to my image and then I pick up the crayon, you can see how it is going to blend. I do not know if that is picking it up or not. Just wonderful.
Okay, I am still using the chocolate chip, let me get some more water on there.

When you put the water on the tip it makes it look like a fine point so it is easy to work with.

Okay, and pretty! All right then we are going to do the Charcoal Grey for the tires and the little puffs of smoke there.
[Demo]
Remember all the colors are inkpads and our crayons and everything coordinate really nice. That is what is great about Stampin’Up.

Okay then for the puffs of smoke, I am just going to do the clear water on that and just kind of dab it around and I can go back and kind of blend it in because you are really just moving the color around with the water, I just want a lighter shade.
Okay, let me do the blue for the water, Briquette Blue.
[Demo]
I am just going to bring that down to the paper here to the bottom. You can see how there is no lines too because it all blends together once that water meets that.
Okay, there you go, that was easy. Thank you for stopping by, we will see you tomorrow. Bye.
