I bought the distress crayons........and I feel really badly that I don't "get" them. They aren't that much different then gelatos, they aren't that much different then neocolor IIs, I want them to be more then those things but for some reason I just can't make them be anything else. The distress colors do not spread as well as I think they should unless you use a whole lot of product. They do not spread with a waterbrush as well as the other products do either. I look at them and do a search on the youtubes to see if anybody has come up with an idea where they become neat, Nope, hasn't happened yet.
I haven't seen anybody do anything much with them except backgrounds, I haven't noticed Mr. Holtz using them for anything neat either.........maybe because they aren't anything special, as much as I want them to be special I can't seem to make them be. I keep digging them out and trying but all I seem to be able to make with them is a background that I don't like that much. This is why I feel so bad because I really enjoy the other distress products, but these, holy smokes they suck.
