Poppin’ Pastels

I have used this technique to create the card below.  This was inspired by a quilt cover design I have seen recently.  Inspiration is truly around us if we take the time to look/listen.

Supplies:

·        Whisper White Craft Stampin’ Pad

·        VersaMark pad

·        Sponge daubers or Sponges

·        Stampin’ Pastels

Directions:

1) Stamp image.

2) Use sponge daubers or stamping sponges to apply pastel colour directly to ink.

3) Blow off any excess powder.   If you are using a 2-step stamp set, repeat this process.

Tip:

You can set the pastels using a cheap aerosol hairspray, but this is not advisable for using on a scrapbook layout as it may be unsafe for your photos.

If you do use hairspray on your cards (personally I don’t), remember to hold the can approximately 30cm (12 inches) away from your project.
