Hope you had an enjoyable holiday weekend.
Today I thought I would share with you three cards using different methods and the new Soft Pastels Assortment from Stampin’ Up!
What is the Soft Pastels Assortment you ask? Well, they are easy to use chalk pastels that work with a variety of coloring tools like Stampin’ Up!’s Sponge Daubers, Blending Brushes, Water Painters or even a Q-tip. The Soft Pastels Assortment come in a cardboard case for storage.
There are 8 chalk pastels in Stampin’ Up! colors: Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy and Poppy Parade.
Scrap or Scribble pastel chalk on a scrap piece of paper or silicone craft sheet with your Take your Pick Tool, then apply to the stamped image with dry brush or Q-tip to your stamped image. I’ve even added directly to the Basic White and blended with my finger.
You can even use your Water Painters to create your very own watercolor paints! For the final sparkly touch I’ve used Clear Wink of Stella brushed overt the dragonflies and flowers. This technique makes a great one layer card.
Finally , the pastel chalk material also works great with images stamped in VersaMark. Simply stamp your image with VersaMark ink, let it dry, then color over it with the pastel markers and your choice of coloring tool. For the sample below I used Sponge Daubers.
I had so much fun making these cards, I’ll be sharing more idea’s in the coming days.
