Hello crafty friends! I hope you got a chance to catch Tim’s You Tube Live yesterday with the reveal of the brand new Distress Product…Distress Watercolor Pencils. I am so happy to have a new medium in the Distress line and can’t wait to share more with you using these awesome pencils. These are available and shipping now from Simon Says Stamp.
What are Distress Watercolor Pencils? They are woodless watercolor pencils with water reactive pigments that are great for coloring on porous surfaces. They can be layered with most of the Distress products that you already know and love…including Distress Inks, Distress Oxides, Distress Sprays and Distress Paints.
There are 3 sets of pencils available now and each set contains 12 pencils, the pencils come in a tin with a removable lid for great portability, but who I am I kidding you know I took all the sets out of the tins and mixed them all together already.
One thing that I am most excited about is that these pencils match the colors of Distress, which are my favorite colors to work with and it takes all the guess work out of it. I have had a chance to play with them a bit and can’t wait to share what I have made in the coming week. I have a quick video to share with you today that shows a couple of ways I have used them so far.
I have shared a few techniques in this video on coloring your die cuts, adding some color to sentiments, and making some mixed media papers. I have tons more to share and a fun project (and new video) coming later this week!
Very pretty!

Oh, YAY! I almost feel like I'm right there in studio with you. What a great job you've done of demonstrating cool ways to use these new tools. I wonder what you used to sharpen them - it sounded like you sanded them. I haven't watched Tim's video yet. I love how you showed so much versatility in a few short minutes. You are amazing, dear gal.
