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.

Accessories to the rescue ...

Have you managed to catch any of Dawny's shows on Hochanda yet? She's demoing the Nuvo Creative pens but also on the show are the Marmalade's World stamps plus accessories sets (stamps & matching dies).

Here's one of my projects using just the accessory stamps and matching dies ...


I have used the Heart Vines to create my layers and then added the stamped, coloured and die cut images on to the hearts in 'clusters'. On the white background heart, I stamped the word "forever" around the edges.


I've mainly used the flower bouquets, nestling between them, a heart and bunting. All colouring kept to match the red backing heart.
 

On the bottom layer, for no reason other than I could (lol), I added a stamped and die cut letter. The sentiment is made up of words from Whimsical Frames and Delicate Detail stamp sets.

Very grey day here and I'm sure the weather peeps said it was meant to be a little warmer than it is ... ummm, definite 'let's guess where the sun is today'! Hoping the elusive golden ball is shinning brightly where you are,

Lou
