Awash with Flowers and Watercolor Wonder Crayons

Stampin' Up! Watercolor Wonder Crayons are finally available for purchase again.  I just got my first set.  I chose the Subtles collection because I really love soft pastel colors, but of course, I want them all.

 Shop for watercolor wonder crayons here.

To create this look, I stamped the two images (flower petals and stem are separate stamps) in Staz On jet black ink on to watercolor paper that was trimmed to 2 x 3 1/4.
I colored with a watercolor wonder crayon onto a stamp case creating a palette of color.  I used my aqua pen to pick up the color off the palette and painted the flower with Rose Red.
For the stem, I used Wild Wasabi and for the shadow surrounding the flower, I used Bashful Blue.

The the second card, I first stamped the outlines of the flower and stem in Staz On jet black ink on watercolor paper.  Then, directly on the petals stamp, I colored directly on the stamp with Rose Red watercolor wonder crayon.  I used a somewhate heavy hand, as I wanted the color to be solid and intense.
Once colored, I misted the stamp with a fine spray of water (I think Ranger Mini Misters are great for this).  I made sure that the water was covering the stamp, but you don't want big pools of water either, so you may have to practice this technique as I did to get the hang of it.  Once you like the water distribution on the stamp, stamp your image over the outline.
The scrunched ribbon was done using the technique I described in this Sweet Heart Cup Valentine post.
