Pastel Daisies

I was a bit surprised to see the Pastels on the retiring list!  This is one of the first techniques I learned when I first started stamping...Poppin' Pastels.  Stamp the image in versamark, daub a sponge dauber in a pastel, and daub on stamped image...continue with the rest of the colors on your image. :)  Order your supplies here.

Party Favor Boxes

Today was birthday party day at our house.  So....CRAZY, busy day for me :)  (actually crazy, busy week for me)  I wanted to do a sweets bar as part of the party favors since Sydney decided to go with a Treasure Hunt rather than a pinata.  For Sierra's birthday, I bought little boxes for the sweets bar and then was disappointed that they didn't close very well.  So this time, I knew better and made what I really wanted!

I used the Box #2 die, stamped it with the Baroque Motifs flourish image in VersaMark, and then embossed with the Melon Embossing Powder.  It was perfect for her Barbie themed party!  Who doesn't love choosing your own candy to take home?  :)  Order your supplies here.

Cardstock:  Basic Black

Ink:  VersaMark

Stamps:  Baroque Motifs

Accessories:  Big Shot, Sticky Strip, Box #2 Die, Melon Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

Fall Harvest

One of my favorite techinques is with the versamark ink and the pastels.  On this card, I did the Poppin' Pastels technique using a wheel.  I inked an uninked cartridge with a versamark refill and wheeled a wheel on the cardstock.  The pastels are sponged on top of the ink using sponge daubers.
