Watercolour Crayons and your Rubber Stamps

I got this from my altered books group. I have to share because I just tried it last night and it does indeed work. lol so now I am spreading the news! Try it its a neat effect! I usually don't post about things like this much since I only have a few stamps so far, I was just amazed with the effect. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(from Amber)

I used a fairly detailed image and a medium sized stamp. Apply the crayon _heavily_ - I used Caran d'Arche watercolor crayons. I don't think oil based crayons would work because of the oil/water not mixing thing. Spritz very very lightly with a water bottle.

The effect is watercolor crayon-y. Most of the details aren't really retained. I really like to stamp once with the watercolor crayon technique, let it dry then stamp over the image with a darker ink. And what is nice about that you don't have to stamp in the exact same spot, stamping sightly off is really cool.
