Another day, another pastels technique. Today
the technique is chalkboarding. This is a great technique to use when you want to create really bright images on black or dark card stock. I find that this technique works best with pastel colors that are bright and, preferably, bold (although they do not necessarily need to belong to the bold brights family).
On this card I used the images from Serene Sunflower, Aida background and Sincere Salutations sentiment. I used craft white, classic basic black and classic summer sun inks. The card stock is basic black, green galore and summer sun. The only accessories are sponge daubers and stampin' pastels.
So have you noticed a trend? I'm quite deliberately designing simpler cards that are perfect for a workshop or a class. No muss, no fuss -- just straight stamping and technique. (Well, OK, adding the background stamp to this card was a little fussy, and maybe unnecessary, but with the last couple of cards being textured free I just needed to add this little something.)
So what do you think? Are you enjoying the pastels samples so far? I sure hope so. There'll be another technique tomorrow! Wonder which one?
