I love how this card turned out using the Soft Pastels Assortment. I stamped the sunflowers and then colored with the pastels.
Watch the video to see how to use the Soft Pastels Assortment. They were easy to apply and create a beautiful result.
These easy to use chalk pastels work with a variety of coloring tools like Stampin' Up!'s Sponge Daubers, Blending Brushes, and Water Painters.
Tips & Instructions
Early Espresso Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Very Vanilla Layer - 5 1/4 x 4
Stamp the large sunflower with Soft Suede Ink on the bottom left corner of the Very Vanilla Layer. Cut the sunflower from a piece of Post-It Note using the coordinating Sunflower Dies to create a mask.. Lay the Post-It Note flower over the stamped flower and stamp the leaves with Evening Evergreen Ink. Stamp the smaller sunflowers, masking the first when stamping the second.
Using the pastels, color the flowers, flower centers and leaves. I used Mango Melody, Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green. Rub in the chalk using Sponge Daubers. Wipe with a tissue or paper towel.
Stamp sentiment (from the Sunny Sentiments Stamp Set) with Soft Suede Ink.
Adhere layer to card base.
Add a Genial Gem.
