Soft Pastels

Today’s card and video feature coloring using the Soft Pastel Assortment and a Wink of Stella brush to apply the color. This method sets the Soft Pastels so that the chalk doesn’t smudge as well as adding a nice shimmer to the image.

Simply scrape (I used the spatula end on my Take Your Pick Tool) some of the chalk from the Soft Pastel stick onto a clear block. Use the Wink of Stella brush to pick up the chalk and then apply to the image.

Paper Dimensions:

  • Basic Black Card Base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ Scored at 4 1/4
  • Friendly Hello Designer Paper 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • Basic Black 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″
  • Basic White 3″ x 3″
  • Basic White 5 1/4″ x 4″ for inside liner

Be sure to watch the Soft Pastels Friendly Hello Video Tutorial to see this technique. During the video I mentioned making this card with the image die cut with a circle die. I just had to give it a try, and created the card above. I switched up the flower colors on this card as well, just to keep it interesting.

Remember, you can get the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper Pack PLUS the Friendly Hello stamp set for free with a $100 purchase during SALE-a-bration! SALE-a-bration ends on February 28 so get your order in soon to avoid the disappointment of finding out that the Friendly Hello Bundle is sold out!
