Lyra 12 Aquacolour Crayons - Starter pack
£8.99
inc. free postage and packing
I have been using this brand of crayons for about 6 years now - some of you may have seen the demo on my Pretty Papercraft DVD - but we have never had the them on the website before.
As so many people want to know the easiest ways to watercolour stamped images for cards - these have to come right at the top of that list. The paints look like wax crayons but they are in fact watercolours. You take a crayon, scribble a little bit onto a spare acrylic block (or another shiny surface) and then using something like a Koi paintbrush or another small tipped variety - add a drop or two of water.
Then mix into a little puddle of paint - as it dries you can re-energise it by adding a further drop - don't overdo the water though. The collection of colours is good and their blendability and ease of use is just the best. If you have struggled with watercolours before it might be worth giving these a go.
Contains: 12 LYRA-AQUACOLOR wax crayons, water-soluble, assorted in a metal box.
