I love quiet Sundays. I love being able to sleep in and stay in my pajamas until I absolutely have to get out of them (I'm still in them, too!). I've already taken Lucy out for a walk thru the neighborhood (I changed into jeans and then back into pj's!) and she's napping on the couch with my roommate. So while they've been napping, I've been stamping in the basement to come up with this weeks themed technique.
I'm going to use Stampin' Pastels, aka Chalks, all week on cards or scrapbook pages. I like to do chalking because it adds a nice, soft color to your project. Also, it deosn't really require any precision so you're allowed to color outside the lines! Intentionally blend or smear the chalks with your thumb for lighter color. For chalking, what you'll need for your projects are your box of Stampin' Pastels and a sponge tip applicator, cotton swab, sponge dauber or a stiff paintbrush. For today's card, I applied my chalks with a Q-tip. There are 500 in a box, so why not put them to use?!
All products used for this card are from Stampin' Up! and it is cased from the Stamper's Showcase.
