I bought some Distress Crayons a while ago, but I haven't had a chance to use them. So I was very excited to find out that Bonnie chose this challenge and that she is hosting it. This is a great opportunity to try out the crayons.
I scribbled Distress Crayons (all 6 colors from Set 1 + Seedless Preserves) on a piece of mixed media paper, spritzed it with some water, and rubbed it to blend it with my finger. I die-cut a floral image from it.
And here's what I made with the die-cut.
I pasted a part of the die-cut on the top and bottom corners of the panel and heat-embossed the sentiment in gold.
I've learned a lot from the video tutorials (the links are provided on the challenge page) and the inspiring cards the Design Team and the Guest Designer (Jenny) made.
*editted on 5/21: Thank you for your suggestion, Loll! I'll share this card at CAS Watercolour too.
