Getting Inky with Distress Crayons for a Cool Background! [reprise!] Not a Card with Nina-Marie

Hello friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you for another installment of my Not a Card feature! Today I am sharing an art piece that I created for my craft space. I love making art that I can display and inspire my future creative endeavors.

This tag piece uses many Tim Holtz products, including the Brushstroke Butterflies and Brushstroke Flowers 2 die sets, along with Distress Crayons and Oxides!

The Distress Crayons make up a bulk of this project—I used them to build the background! The tag was covered with some Collage Medium and Collage Paper before using the crayons to add color and stenciling.

You’ll definitely want to check out the video to see this project come together! It was a lot of fun and I hope it inspires you to create something pretty for YOUR crafty space or home decor!

Oh wow this is gorgeous
I love how you layered the Distress Crayons over the Collage Paper—it gives the piece such beautiful depth and texture. The Brushstroke Butterflies are the perfect whimsical touch.
Nina, this is spectacular!!!
