The Friday Mashup challenge for this week is to do a birthday card for Holly and mash it up by using pastels.
Now this doesn't say Happy Birthday does it? However, I wish Holly a wonderful day when she is free to create anything she wants. Happy Birthday Holly!
To do the Poppin' Pastels technique, just stamp in VersaMark then rub your sponge dauber (or eye makeup applicator) in the Pastels and rub on the stamped design. It gives such a soft look don't you think?
I was at a loss what to do with the design once it was done. Then I looked at the Featured Stanper Challenge at SCS on Sunday and browsed through Pam's wonderful gallery. When I saw this card it just clicked.

Gorgeous! Love the colors you used on that image! (Mine arrived TODAY!) Thanks for hanging out with us at the Friday Mashup!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE doing Poppin' Pastels! Your colorful focal point is perfect for this clean and beautiful card. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yummy! I love your beautiful card. Guess what? Pam is my SU demo and we live about 1 1/2-2 hrs. from each other. She's a super girl and great stamper.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love the stamped flowers and the embossed background. A day to create sounds like a fabulous birthday. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Bonnie, I love the colour combination and texture that you used. Very interesting technique with your image, I think I might have to try that.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that technique done, Bonnie, but it's really beautiful! I agree--it does give it a really soft look. I love it on that Razzeleberry too. That's such a gorgeous color.
ReplyDeleteThe image looks lovely using this technique, a beautiful card, love the colours and the embossing.
