Distress Crayon Background

Me again. Last one for today I promise :) I am a little bit in love with how this one turned out even though I made a mistake but shhhh it worked out for the best.

What you'll need:

• Sheena card, Black card and Cream card.
• Distress crayons - Cracked pistachio, Tumbled glass and Peacock feathers
• Bee Crafty Delight stamp
• Bee Crafty Wake Every Morning Wordage stamp
• Diamond stencil
• Stayzon Black
• Versmark
• Silver and White embossing powder

Step 1:

Cut your sheena card down to size. Scribble in small spots at a time some cracked pistachio and tumbled glass distress crayons and blend with your finger. It's best to do it in small areas at a time so your able to smudge the crayons easily. Keep scribbling the crayons randomly until you have covered the whole card.

Step 2:

Use whatever stencil you may have. I used this diamond one, but I can't remember what make it is. You can either tape the stencil down or just hold it in place. Spritz plenty of water through the stencil and then rub off the water and crayon off through the stencil. Alternatively you could use a baby wipe. If you used water you might want to give it a quick blast with your heat tool.

Step 3:

Place your stencil back over as best you can and scribble a little bit of the peacock feathers crayon through the stencil and smudge with your finger. Just put some diamonds or whatever your pattern you're using in random places.

Step 5:

Next take the delight stamp ink up with stayzon and stamp in the middle of the card. Now here is where I messed up a little. It wasn't coming out solid enough for me so I decided I was going to stamp in versamark and heat emboss, but as I stamped over with the versamark I hadn't lined it up correctly so I ended up with a little shadow type thing round it which after I heat embossed the silver embossing powder, it actually looked really nice and gave a cool effect. So just shows sometimes a mistake you make can be a happy mistake :)

Step 6:

Ink up the WORDage stamp with versamark and stamp underneath the Delight image. Heat emboss with white embossing powder. Then simply just matt and layer with the black and cream card.

That's it from me today I promise lol. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with my blogs so you don't hear from me 3 times in one day lol. As always please leave comments or ask any questions.

Until next time
