Water Colouring Effects

Happy Sunday everyone! But for those who are on the same side of the globe with me, Sunday is almost over, and I should really say Happy Monday instead ;)

Blogger has been such a pain in the A** lately. I'm not sure how many of you were affected, but I've been having problems logging in to blogger to post a comment. Just as I was trying to catch up on my blog commenting, blogger decides to throw a tantrum. No matter how many times I tried to login, I was anonymous and it kept sending me back to the login screen. GRRRRrrRRRR...The funny thing is the problem only appeared on some blog, and certain times I'm not even able to see the comment box. Weird.

Anyway, just to share a card with you that I had posted on Flickr for Hero Arts May Challenge - Fabulous Flowers, but yet to post it here. A very quick card using Amos Silky Crayons (similar to the Faber castell's gelatos - not sure what are the quality difference though since the latter is not available here in Malaysia).

Supplies: Hero Arts CL380 stamp, Hero Arts CG170 stamp, Amos Silky Crayons, Archival Ink in Jet Black, Kaiser Pearls, Mini mister

I simply rubbed the crayons over the rubber stamp directly, misted it with water and stamped it directly onto the cardstock. It looks like the flowers have been water coloured. Love the soft and subtle effects.

As soon as the card was dry I added the pearls and stamped on the sentiment. Easy peasy.

Hope you like it! I'll be coming round your blogs as soon as blogger resolves the commenting issues :)

I've read that it might be the browser you use...I think it might be internet explorer? I use Safari.

Very pretty card!

Yes, blogger was being a pain for many. The only issue I had was the Google Friend Connect widget was missing for a few days.

Most of those who were having trouble logging in/commenting were using IE as their browser, from what I understand. (I surf with Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.)
