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!
I LOVE doing Poppin' Pastels! Your colorful focal point is perfect for this clean and beautiful card. :)
Oh, 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.
Very pretty! I love the stamped flowers and the embossed background. A day to create sounds like a fabulous birthday. :)
Beautiful 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.
I'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.
The image looks lovely using this technique, a beautiful card, love the colours and the embossing.

The technique works brilliantly using this image! It's not often I'm inspired to get my pastels out!
The pastels are lovely and delicate and the Rich Razzleberry compliments them very well. I will certainly be having a go at this technique. x
I have not used that technique. You have made it absolutely beautiful and I am going to have to try!
Thank you for the Birhthday wishes Bonnie.. I'd love for a day to sit and create it's been a long time since I've had a free day like that. I love the soft feel you achieved using this techniques and the color combo is perfect. Great to see you back with us at the Friday Mashup.
Great poppin' pastels! I don't do that technique often enough. It really is so soft and pretty. And the way you've designed your card really helps those flowers stand out!
I love your focus on the soft flowers - very lovely! Thanks for playing with us this week.
How pretty, Bonnie!! The razzleberry really makes the white and your flowers pop...LOVELY!!!
Bonnie, I really love this technique! Thanks for reminding me of it! Your card is so soft and delicate looking!
This is gorgeous Bonnie! Love the flower done in pastels. Thanks for playing along at The Friday Mashup!
