Washable Markers

Okay so today I just wanted to show you guys a technique that I tried... It didn't turn out how I wanted it to but I thought I;d share my results anyway.

So my final results...

What I attempted to do...

So if you guys are not aware. When You spray washable markers with water they bleed. So I thought it would really cool to write out a whole lots of cool quotes, spray them with a mister, and they become a little less crisp.

Here are my quotes...
 And while I was spraying them with water...
 Now if I had just let it dry like that instead of spraying on more water to try to get it more unnoticeable, I think it would've turned out way better. Instead the colors blended together to get brown which is very unsightly.

To try to make it at least somewhat decent I wrote a quote on tip.
If you ever want to try something like this I would say that less is more on the water, and maybe pick colors that when mixed together make a pretty color and not brown, unless you want brown.

I know this was not really a tutorial but more of a technique/learn from my mistakes. But if you liked it comment down below and I will try to post more of them.

Oh and I have since decided to open my Pinterest to the public, and I think it would be really cool if you followed me. I post more than just crafts but you can definitely pick and choose your boards. 
My username is glueandyou so if you search that my name will be Anna.
So go follow me and you may get a sneek peek and some future projects that I'm planning on doing, and some inspiration. Also feel free to send me pictures of projects you've done because I would love to see those.
