Today's card is brought to you by my lack of knowledge/experience with pastels.
With becoming a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I found you get quite a few perks. Besides the extra income, my starter kit is one of the best perks of all! I was able to pick out some adorable stamp sets and increase my stampin' supplies as well.
One of the supplies included in that lovely kit is the Stampin' Up Pastels. I've never stamped using pastels, and I was a little worried that I would fail...horribly fail...but...I don't think I failed at all!! I read up on how to use the pastels with Versa Mark Ink and tested things out. After playing for a bit, here is the card I created.
Yes, I will fully admit I am addicted to the Top Note Die AND the Inspired By Nature stamp set. Totally addicted....and I don't care...
I know there must be additional ways to use the pastels, and I fully intend to pursue those techniques as well.
I love the rustic nature of how it all turned out too. Yeah me in learning a new technique. Go Team Julie! hehe.
Happy Stampin!
