These are the final techniques used for the Pastel Assortment
using Blending Brushes to apply the chalk
to tear tape and
Directly to a card front
Paint with pastel chalk using a small amount of water or alcohol
Using the chalk directly to the card front
Using Versa Mark to stamp an image and then applying the pastel with a dauber
Using Versa Mark and adding pastels with a blending Brush
Using a Blender Pen with the chalk
using Versa Mark partially on paper and adding just a bit of pastel as an accent
I have since thought of using a Mask and Versa Mark and adding chalk and mixing some of the chalk powder with our paste. Those could both be quite interesting as well.
Measurements and Supplies for today’s 3rd and Last in the series Soft Pastel Assortment
• I used a Basic White Cardstock for my Card Bases or a Color Cardstock that compliments the card design – 8 ½” by 5 ½”, scored ad folded at 4 ¼”
• Then I used Basic Black, Bermuda Bay Mossy Meadow & Granny Apple Green for layering pieces cut at 4” by 5 ¼” inside and outside the cards
• I also used Basic White cut at 3 ¾” by 5” for the focal image on the fronts and the 2nd layering pieces on the inside
Thanks for stopping by, let me know if you have questions.
Here are the Cards made in the first and second videos in the series. There are just so many things you can do. In this group I have used:
Paint with pastel chalk
using Blending Brushes to apply the chalk to a card front
Using the chalk directly to the card front
Using a Blender Pen with the chalk
using Versa Mark partially on paper and adding just a bit of pastel as an accent
If you wipe off the excess chalk, I don’t think you will have to add a fixative to the final project. Some in the past have “fixed” the chalk to their projects with hair spray. I also think that you could add another layer of Versa Mark and heat set the chalk if you were worried about the final result.
