Using the Whole Box of Crayons

I had a major adventure last week before I left for my road trip crafty weekend (it was a good week!), and I checked out a new-to-me local stamp store. I have a short fuse when it comes to big box craft stores, but I'm happy to visit an LSS, and visit often.

Her inventory was low that day, but I still managed to find enough stuff that needed to come home with me. I'm quite happy with the lines she carries, and I'll be back!

So, I took my collection of new goodies with me for the crafty weekend, and made myself use some of them. Here's one card that I made:

Isn't that a fun stamp? It's by Verses, and it's all one stamp - no lining up for the crayons! I shamelessly went online and looked up Crayola for my box colors. I colored that wide open area, and it's not too streaky. Maybe there's hope for me yet.

I colored each of the crayons, then colored the box. It's so bright, I decided to just put it on a white card base, but of course there's that whole white space thing, so I ran the white panel through an embossing folder to break it up a bit. I loaded up the crayons with Glossy Accents and set it aside to dry while we had lunch. When it was dry, I put it on the card with foam tape.

I like how it turned out! 

Thanks for stopping by!
