Playing with Tim Holtz Distress Crayons by Ranger. I was lucky to find two packs of 6 each for a very reasonable price at the Farmer's Market.
Art Process:
I started with blocking color for the bracts, leaves, and stem of the Poinsettia.

Brushing with water to activate colors but not obliviate the crayon marks.

After the page dried, I added a second layer of color with the crayons.
I thought I was done but I wasn't happy with the way that the Poinsettia was looking. A bit too stiff!
So I added more color plus black lines with a Sakura Glaze Pen and white lines with a dip pen and Dr. Ph Martin's Bleed Proof White to create movement.
