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.

A cheeky, mischievous Leprechaun ...

I have used Mischievous Leprechaun from Fabricka Fantasy for this weeks project for Colour Crazy Challenges and I have coloured him with my Lyra Rembrandt pencils. Apologies for the rather washed out photos but I am struggling to get my camera to take a decent shot ...! Okay, I admit there maybe a little operator error too but when you set it up for auto mode, well, the photo should be better ... lol


I found a copywrite free image of the hat (from a St Patrick's site), enlarged this to create my card base and then cut a shadow in black card. I have decorated the inside too but sadly forgot to photograph that!
 

The Leprechaun has been coloured with my Lyra Rembrandt pencils and in real life, looks a 100 times more vibrant and the hair has oodles more shades of red and orange. Oh well, never mind and as this Irish drinking toast proves, worse things could happen ...

As you slide down the banisters of life,
may the splinters never point the wrong way.

Now who out of my relatives to send my card to ..... decisions, decision, decisions ...
