Technique Tuesday back to basics
Last weekend I hosted a party in my home for a group of ladies from out of town. They created 12 cards. I decided to go back to the basics with them for one of the cards. Some ladies had never stamped before and Popping Pastels is a wowser factor when you just start stamping.
Step-by-Step
-
Stamp images with Versamark™ onto cardstock. The flower head was stamped three times here.
-
Rub the sponge dauber (other other applicator) on the pastel color of your choice to pick up the color.
-
Dab or rub the sponge dauber over the stamped image. The chalk will stick to it.
-
Take another dauber and repeat to add another color.
-
Add more images if desired. Here, flower stems, leaves and centers were added.
-
Apply chalk over these images.
-
(Optional)Use a Versamarker to apply ink to other unstamped areas.
-
Apply more chalk.
-
To define your stamped images more, try outlining or doodling around them with a marker.
-
Finish your project.
