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 little dose of happy ...

I recently shared several cards I made using up 'leftovers' after creating two birthday cards (see HERE), using a selection of Spellbinders dies & stamps, so thought I better share one of the birthday cards I made ...



I created a panel by using the butterfly dies repeatedly, stamped the sentiment, mounting on to some backing papers with 3D foam. Before sticking the panel down, I added some ribbon finishing with a knot. Next I placed some smaller butterflies in the negative space, lifting up their wings and a smaller butterfly near the sentiment.

A quick easy card but I think it's also quite effective too and so not my normal style. Isn't it fab how you can be inspired to try something new with something new ... lol!

Great color combo and I love the use of the negative space. The dimension adds great shadow to the die cuts.
