Instructions

Hi there crafty friends! It’s Cheiron Brandon here and I am back with a new project to share with you playing with the latest set of Tim Holtz Distress Crayons and the new Sanding Disks that fit on the end of your standard blending tools. Today I will create a card with a fun crayon blending technique and we will combine it with some sanded colored Kraft stock to create a card with a vintage floral feel.

Step 4: Start applying your Distress Crayon by adding a bit to the project and blending with a slightly damp finger. I spray some water from a Distress Sprayer and dab my finger into it.
