					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got the 3 sets of new Tim Holtz Distress Crayons were on sale at Blitsy a couple of weeks ago. And today, I had a chance to create a card using some of the colors.</p>
<p><a title="Allow Beauty To Fill Your Days" href="http://helengullett.com/?p=8775"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm2.staticflickr.com/1633/25865153415_c7aca39b38_z.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1" alt="Allow Beauty To Fill Your Days" width="640" height="640" /></a></p>
<p>There are some videos tutorial and reviews on YouTube about these Distress Crayons. I learned one of the easiest way of using them is to scribble some on the craft mat and pick it up with brush.</p>
<p>I use Unity Stamp Co. &#8211; February 2016 Kit Of The Month. First, I cut a 4.25&#8243; x 5.5&#8243; Canson Watercolor Paper and stamping the flower using Memento Black Ink using my MISTI and dried the ink using Craft Heater (CTMH).</p>
<p><a title="Coloring with Distress Crayons" href="http://helengullett.com/?p=8775"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm2.staticflickr.com/1651/25744156302_0432367d42_z.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1" alt="Coloring with Distress Crayons" width="640" height="640" /></a></p>
<p>On the Craft Mat (Ken Oliver), I scribbled some of the Distress Crayons and added some water using the Aquash Waterbrush (Pentel). And I started to colored the image using the brush. I cleaned the brush each time I changed color.</p>
<p><a title="Coloring with Distress Crayons" href="http://helengullett.com/?p=8775"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm2.staticflickr.com/1648/25238511233_b4217e91be_z.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1" alt="Coloring with Distress Crayons" width="640" height="640" /></a></p>
<p>Using the Craft Heater I speed up the drying to make the card <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> The sentiment I used is also from the same Unity KOTM I stamped with Black Memento Ink Pad.</p>
<p>I found a pretty yellow paper in my stash that I used as the background that matched with the color of the flower. Using adhesive runner, I added the pattern paper, watercolor paper and sentiment strip on the card base.</p>
<p>My card is finisned and I love it! I hope you like it, too <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Thank you for visiting today!</p>
