Step 1.
Scribble over the card with 2 or 3 complementary colours of the water soluble crayons.
Step 2
Spray the card with a mist of water and scrunch up into a tight ball. Open out carefully and then iron with a dry iron until flatter. The crayon will have formed a marbled effect.
Step 3
Using a solid image stamp, stamp several images at random in a fairly strong complementary colour.
Step 4
Stamp again with a paler colour in between the previous images, going off the edges in some spaces.
Step 5
To finish your decorated paper, stamp an outline image over the top in a dark colour of ink. your paper is now ready to use. It will have thickened up and have a texture similar to hand made paper and if you use bold colours as I have, the results are extremely striking.
If you carry on and look at some of my later examples, you will see that you can vary the stamping for a very different look and some simple stamping with just one stamp can look really lovely.
Have fun!

Hi Fliss,
I think your blog is fab, sometimes it's hard to know how to use watercolours and inks so this is a really good way to learn, I'm really impressed with your first tutorial and the end result is cool! Well done you.
