SAVI Sunday 62 - Soft Pastels with Sponge Daubers
07/25/2021
Welcome to my SAVI Sunday Post... that's Stamping & Various Inspiration. Watch My Video Here
Today's inspiration is our Soft Pastels Assortment. These are pastel chalks that come in Stampin' Up! colors (Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Night of Navy, Gorgeous Grape, Mossy Meadow and Poppy Parade). What a great assortment of colors. Stampin' Up! used to carry pastels many years ago and I have to say... these are Way Better!
In my Video, I show you the most basic way to use the pastel chalks. You simply scrape the chalk sticks to get some lose pigment powder, dip a sponge dauber into the powder and color. But first, the magic step is to stamp your image with VersaMark ink. This is the clear, sticky ink most people use when they want to heat emboss. Just like in heat embossing, the embossing powder sticks to the VersaMark Ink, so does the pastel chalks.
Here is a close up of the flowers:
Card Details:

- Before adhering the Granny Apple Green, die cuts some leaves and the scallop circle
