A different coloring technique using Pastel Chalk and Stampin' Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle

                    

  • Stampin' Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle
  • Upcoming Paper Pumpkin Procrastinators Meetup - Oct 13, 2022
  • Join Stampin' Up! during October and get $155 in merchandise for $99
Today was another weekly virtual Mystery Card stamping event, together with Stampin' Up! home office and Demonstrators from across the USA.  Today's session was led by Shannon West and Natalie Wallick White, two Demonstrator Development Managers (DDMs) from Stampin' Up!  They give us all of the card dimensions and a list of supplies we would use to precut our cardstock and collect our supplies before the event began.  Then, we all completed our cards together, learning a new technique with chalk.  Then created demonstrators posted their versions of the cards showcasing different interpretations of the card created by Shannon and Natalie. 

Today, we used Stampin' Up! Soft Pastels Assortment |Item 154585 | $9.00 USD along with the Splendid thoughts Bundle to create these cards.  We stamped the spots from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set using Versamark Ink, and then chalked over the spots with different colors from the Soft Pastels Assortment.  We then used Sponges or Sponge Daubers to blend the chalk colors and remove the excess chalk powder.  We added die cuts from the Splendid Stems Die,  added an embossed sentiment from Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set on a Basic Black Cardstock circle. I added a few Black Matte Dots and a Basic White layer dry embossed with the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder.

This card uses a basecard of Basic White Cardstock.  Then another layer of Basic White Cardstock dry embossed using the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder.  Then y Basic White image layer is matted witha piece of Basic Black Cardstock.

Next, I stamped the dot pattern from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set in VersaMark ink multiple times on my Basic White image layer.  I selected three different colored chalk from the Stampin' Up! Soft Pastels, and rubbed each color over 1/3 of the Basic White, blending the lines between the colors slightly.  I used a Sponge Dauber to rub the excess chalk dust from the piece.

Using the Splendid Stems Dies, I die cut three different stems from Basic White Cardstock and layered them over the chalked image layer.  To finish the card, I stamped the sentiments in VersaMark ink, covered them with White Embossing Powder, and set them with my heat tool.  I added a few Matte Black Dots to the corner and image layer of my card.  What a fun technique!  You'll love trying this technique and coming up with with your own designs.
