Product Information
Full details
This limited edition crayon set from Tim Holtz and Ranger is designed for crafters and mixed media artists seeking to add vibrant, pearlescent shimmer to their paper projects. The key benefit is the creation of unique, shimmery, and water-reactive effects on various surfaces. A potential caveat is that the pearlescent finish is most effective on porous materials. This set includes three distinct holiday-themed colors: Merry Mint, Cocktail Party, and Shiny Bauble, offering smooth, blendable pigments for a range of artistic applications.

FAQs
What surfaces can I use these crayons on?
These crayons work best on porous surfaces like paper, cardstock, and canvas. They can also be used on other surfaces, but the pearlescent effect may be less pronounced.
How do I achieve a watercolor effect?
Color directly onto your surface with the crayon, then use a water-dampened brush or sponge to blend and spread the pigment, creating a watercolor look.
Can I layer these crayons with Distress Inks or Stains?
Yes, these crayons are designed to layer beautifully with Distress Inks and Stains. You can color directly onto inked or stained surfaces, or layer inks/stains over the crayon for mixed media effects.
Are these crayons permanent once dry?
While the colors are reactive with water, once fully dry on a porous surface, they become relatively stable. However, excessive moisture may reactivate them.
What are the colors included in Holiday Set 4?
Holiday Set 4 includes the colors Merry Mint, Cocktail Party, and Shiny Bauble.
How do I clean my brushes after using the crayons?
Rinse your brushes thoroughly with water immediately after use to remove pigment residue and prevent staining.
Is this a permanent product line?
No, Tim Holtz Distress Pearlescent Crayon Sets for the Holidays are limited edition items.
Troubleshooting
Crayon appears dry or less pigmented.
Ensure you are using the crayon on a porous surface. Apply a small amount of water with a brush or sponge to activate the pigment and achieve desired color vibrancy.
Color is not blending smoothly with water.
Use a brush with a finer tip or less water for more controlled blending. Ensure the surface is adequately damp but not oversaturated.
Pearlescent effect is not visible.
Try applying a second layer of crayon or ensure the surface is porous. The pearlescent quality is most apparent when the pigment is concentrated.
