Jan, you are missing out! Take your crayons outside if you have to
I used to send the kids outside with play doh. I love a box of crayolas, the smell, the box, everything about them. I'm tempted to buy new ones every back to school season! (Were you using a different brand? Maybe they are messier?)
I had fun scribbling with crayons, so I made three backgrounds.
The flowery background was inked over with Vintage Photo distress ink, I was trying for a more vintage feel. I also colored on watercolor paper for the flowery one because I thought the texture might be nice. The other two were inked with Black Soot Distress and I used smooth white cardstock. Do some colors resist better than others? Or maybe I scribbled too quickly? That could be it ... on the confetti-ish background my light yellow lines don't show up as well, but then I was trying to keep it "loose" and took quick swipes at the paper. I think I needed to lay down a heavier line of crayon.
Thanks for the fun challenge, April! It's been too long since I've had my crayons out!
