Chalky Pastels

Use your chalks when you want a hint of color. If you decide you want a more vibrant tone, just add a drop of water. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Purple Posy A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   None

Chalks:

   Stampin' Pastels

Technique:

   Punching

   Brushing/Sponging

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Lovely Floral 3D Embossing Folder

   Corner Rounder Punch

   Blending Brushes/Sponges

   Butterfly Gems

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I embossed a Basic White panel, using the Lovely Floral Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder.

I then gathered several sizes of Blending Brushes (use what you have on hand) and my Stampin' Pastels.

Next, I brushed the colors onto the raised portions of the embossed image. I blew away the extra chalk powder that did not stick to the panel. I did not care if the chalk colored outside the embossed image.

Once, I was satisfied with my image, I rounded each of the corners, using the Corner Rounder Punch.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Purple Posy card front.

Lastly, I added a few rhinestones, butterfly gems, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Floral Birthday

There are so many ways to apply chalks to your cards. I like to use a dry watercolor brush to apply the chalk and then moisten it with a blender pen to enrich the color. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Framed Florets

Paper:

   Pixie Pink A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Chalks:

   Stampin' Pastels (Personal Preference)

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Blender Pen

   Watercolor Brush

   Clear Wink of Stella Brush

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my sentiment in the center of the panel, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then stamped the florals on each corner, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Next, I applied the chalks (Pink, Yellow, Green) to the images.

I then went over them with a Blender Pen to bring out the color. Make sure to clean the brush on a paper towel between colors.

Next, I adhered the Basic White panel to a Basic Black matte and then onto the Pixie Pink card front.

I then I added a bit of glitter to the center of each flower, using the Clear Wink of Stella brush. 

Lastly, I added a few rhinestones and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
