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!

The images are stamped and colored with Copic markers.

I created a window using the Petal Tipped Labels dies and also used Sage cardstock from the kit to make a frame. The sentiment is die-cut using the Fancy Thank You dies using Tim Holtz gold metallic cardstock.
The background features the Demilune Embossing Folder to provide texture.
I hope you like this card! I just love the color palette from this kit and hope it inspires you to create!
