Woodless Watercolour Pencils or Distress Crayons? A Crafter’s Comparison

I’ve been playing with my Personal Impressions (Pi) Woodless Water Colour Pencils lately, but it made me realise I hadn’t touched my Distress Crayons in ages! So I dug them out and had a creative throwback session … Both tools are water-reactive, versatile, and fun for card-making and journaling — but they behave differently on paper/card/art journals. Let’s take a closer look at each, and see what makes them unique.

There is a new colouring challenge on the block which embraces all types of colouring with any colouring medium ...

This week we are sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps and I have coloured up Ballerina Izzy with my Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor pencils ...

I have mounted Ballerina Izzy on to a starry embossed background with different sized star die cuts. The additional embellishments are from Winnie Fruit Punch collection by Polkadoodles.

Colours used:

Skin - Light Flesh, Medium Flesh, Rose Carmine & medium grey

Hair - Dark Sepia, Van Dyck Brown & raw umber

Dress & shoes - Medium flesh, light carmine & medium grey

Flowers - Light violet & canary yellow

We hope you can pop over and share your colouring projects with us especially as the theme is an easy one ... anything goes!

Have a great weekend everyone ... I'm hoping for a snowy one not a horrible weather one ... ,

Lou
