Soft Pastels Watercolor Card




Welcome crafty stampers to today's Craft Room Therapy.  Today we are going to create and with the Soft Pastels from Stampin' Up! . These are my first time ever playing with the Soft Pastels! They are so fun that I created 2 cards to share and I can't wait to play and create with them some more.
The first card using normal stamping techniques and the second card creates a resist outlined image as shown below.


Getting Started and creating your backgrounds


Start by creating your card bases by cutting two 4 x 11 inch pieces from Basic White Cardstock. Fold at 5 1/2 inches to create two 4 x 5 1/2 inch card bases. 

Cut two pieces of watercolor paper to 3.5 x 5 inches. 

Resist Card

Add your embossing pouch from the embossing Tool Kit 




Stamp your image from Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set onto your water color paper with Versamark Ink Pad and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. 
 

Using your Soft Pastels

Using your soft pastels color/ scribble your pastels onto the water color paper. 

Using your Water Painters  , spread pastels across your backgrounds and let dry!            



I used my heat tool t dry my papers.
