Poppin' Pastels

One of my goals for the New Year is to update this blog more frequently. One of my favorite groups, the gals at Scrappin' Mojo, have unknowingly become assistants in helping me to meet that goal. When they were setting up their new format for challenges this year, I was asked if I might be willing to share some stamping techniques with them on a biweekly basis. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity.


I figured that, while I was sharing with them, I might as well share with my friends here on my blog as well, so.....


Every 2 weeks I will be posting some sort of a tutorial and/or project. As you get more familiar with the stamping techniques, (and I get more familiar with making videos....LOL) I hope to offer a place for you to post some of your creations right here as well.


For today's video I will be showing you how to use the Poppin' Pastels technique to create beautiful pastel chalk backgrounds like the one I used on this card:

I LOVE to use this technique! Especially with some of the GREAT floral stamps that Stampin' Up! has to offer. The stamps on this card come from the "Vintage Vogue" set in the new Occasions mini. It's really a very easy technique and is a great one to use with kids, because it is so simple, but yields beautiful results!

Enough talk......... Sit back, relax, and learn how to do make those Pastels POP!
