Tutorial for: Watercolor Crayons -- Aquapainted Rubber Painting color & water direct-to-rubber results in a soft watercolor look that is wonderful for backgrounds and main images alike.

Supplies: - Stamps (solid or nearly solid work best) - Watercolor Crayons - Spray Bottle (filled with water) - Cardstock, any color - AquaPainter/Water Brush (filled with water) Optional: Heat Tool

Step One: Mist stamp wth water.

Step Two: Using AquaPainter, squeeze barrel gently to moisten brush. Run the bristles directly over the crayons to pick up color.

Step Four: If desired, pick up additional colors with the AquaPainter and apply directly to rubber. Use colors to highlight and shade.

Step Three: Paint the color directly on the rubber stamp.

Step Seven Two or three images may be stamped from the same color application; if the stamp seems dry, mist it with a little more water.

Step Five: Spray stamp to moisten and "move" colors.

Step Six: Stamp directly onto cardstock.

Step Seven: Allow images to dry thoroughly. A heat tool may be used to speed drying.   Finish card as desired.  The water colored images may be stamped on directly with ink, if desired.

Step Eight: Repeat coloring and stamping images with remaining stamps and colors, as desired.
