Hi! I’m back to share a little experimentation I did with good old fashioned crayons. Using a simple and inexpensive medium like crayons allows you to experiment with color (before playing with more expensive mediums):
This card is the result of a mistake I made when I colored the card stock with crayons then die cut it…backwards. Little did I know that this mistake would produce a cool, “backlit” effect! See the subtle hints of pink and blue? My photo doesn’t do this card justice, but I encourage you to try this technique if want to add a wisp of color to an otherwise super clean and simple card.
Again, I created another card to demonstrate how crayons play nicely with die cuts.
That’s all I have for now. Explore more fun facts about Crayola crayons here. Take care and thank you for stopping by my blog! xo, Tyra
Very clever. Must try this myself, love the look.
