Hi there crafty friends! I hope you got to watch Tim’s You Tube Live yesterday introducing you to the lovely new Seasonal Distress Crayons and showing some amazing products from so many makers.
I was thrilled to be able to play around with these new Seasonal Distress Crayons and made 4 different cards that I am sharing with you today. All supplies are linked at the bottom of this post with affiliate links for your shopping convenience…at no additional cost to you. I truly appreciate you using these links 🙂
For my first card, I stuck with a Halloween almost candy corn palette. I made a fun halloween slimline. To create my panel, I laid down bits of Halloween Idea-ology Ephemera using DIstress Collage Medium and overlapping the layers. I also added a layer of the Collage Medium over the top of the entire thing (this will help you smudge the crayons). I added the crayons, working them over the panel with my fingers. I added some stamping with Archival Distress Ink in Black Soot and the Media Marks 2 stamps. To finish the card, I added a Halloween Paper Doll and some bat wings from the Halloween Transparencies.
For my second card, I created a traditional colored Christmas card. To me, there is nothing better than Distress Crayon over texture. I added Matte Texture Paste through the Tree Lot stencil. Once it was dry, I added a thin layer of Distress Collage Medium over the top of the entire panel. To finish the card, I added bits of Ephemera, stitching and a Christmas Mini Flair. The little dog was embossed with Frosted Crystal embossing powder to give it a matte finish. You can also color with crayons over the Frosted Crystal. I did also add some splatter with Crooked Broomstick crayon by scribbling the color onto my Glass Mat and picking it up with a paintbrush. The panel was matted on a piece of paper from the Idea-ology Christmas pocket cards.
For the third card, a super easy one! I added a panel of printed Collage Paper to Distress watercolor cardstock with Distress Matte Medium and also went over the front of the panel with the Distress Matte Medium. I colored in around the squares and blended the colors with a damp finger. I added some stitching, Mirrored Stars colored with alcohol inks and a Sentiments Label Sticker. I matted the panel onto a piece of black Kraftstock where I had sanded the edges.
For the final card, another fun technique. Coloring over ephemera that has been embossed with Frosted Crystal. This provides such a fun surface to color on. I embossed an Engraving Layer, then colored it in with my crayons and a waterbrush. I mounted it with foam tape onto a panel cut from Backdrops and added some Hardware Heads to the edges. I added a Metallic Sticker and some splatter to the card and mounted it onto a piece of Black Kraftstock.
