CREATIVE CHEMISTRY DAY 4

THCC Day 4:  Distress Crayons

Here they are...and guess what...

MORE are coming!

I can't wait ...there are more shades and pastels,

LOTS more!!!!!
If you have not tried these crayons...

Well....you just oughta...

They are FABULOUS...

Kind of like gelatos, but better.  The most 

important thing about these crayons is that they
won"t  react with water unless you want 

them to, all you have to do is touch it.

Get ready to get your fingers dirty!

Tag #1 Distress Crayon Smudge

Get your fingers dirty...Smudge those colors....
all over a layer of Texture Paste.

 This was sooo much fun...
Yep I put only warm colors on here...
guess I need to make one with the
cool colors....YUMMY!

Tag #2 Distress Crayon Gesso Fresco

1st step - apply gesso, 2nd step - more smudging!

3rd step - use stencil and gently rub with damp
paper towel to lift color.

These crayons are so much FUN!!!!

Tag #3 Distress Crayon Textured Resist

The crayons were used like a modeling paste for this tag.

It's just a really thin layer used on the stencil and you go

over it with you finger and continue to smudge inside the stencil.

I really enjoyed this.  

 As I began inking this tag and the design appeared,

I was like Ahhhh, the pink is soooo soft and pretty,  just 

what I wanted to see. This is Tim's "Scribble" stencil.

Tag #4 Watercolor Resist

Tag #5 Distress Crayon Blended Background

Ohhh La La....I am in LoVe with these

crayons....smooth like butter and see how the

colors LoVe each other....Just by blending with 

water ...watercoloring with crayons...XOXO

Tag #6 Distress Crayon Layered Coloring 

First stamp your image, then apply your

collage medium...I used "CRAZING,"

(Two coats, first with a brush and another....

I used my finger -as suggested by the

Master himself- Tim Holtz.)

let dry, apply color with Distress Crayons,

smooth/blend colors, (I used my fingers), 

you can also use your water brush! 

Next dry the colors (this sets them), 

then use Picket Fence Distress Crayon

 to hi-light certain edges of your stamped images.

Ohhh this Crazing Collage Medium

is just Fabulous here....see all those 

teeny, tiny cracks.  LoVe them!
Thank you for taking the time to stop by!
