Instructions
1.
Stamp your image on white glossy paper with India Black Dye Ink.
2.
Thinking about where you want highlights to go, mark your image or color
it completely with the crayon.
3.
Take a section of your sponge and brush it on the Grasshopper ink pad and
then lightly blot onto your image. Once you have enough ink on your paper you
can rub lightly with the sponge to blend the color into the paper. Repeat with
the Sunset and fill in the rest with the Sunshine. The crayon will resist all
ink you are putting on the paper.
4.
Once you are done coloring your paper, take a soft rag (old t-shirt
material, etc.) and rub off the crayon. This will leave white highlights where
you have colored with the crayon.
5.
Fold the orange card stock in half making the card 4 ¼ x 5 ½ .
6.
Using your mono adhesive, mount the stamped glossy onto the orange card.
7.
Highlight selected areas with Stickles, adding squiggles around the
images. Allow to dry.
Tip: You can, also.
sponge a light color onto your paper and then color with the crayon. Once this
step is done, you can sponge on darker colors. Rub away the crayon, and you
will have color highlights instead of white ones.
