Stampin' Pastels

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We for sure needed the little bit of rain we got this weekend. We pretty much stayed at home this weekend so our youngest child could recover from having a cold. Since we stayed home, I got some craft time in. This past Saturday I held my monthly Technique class. This month's class was "Stampin' Pastels." I really like this technique. It's easy to use and it produces a soft and beautiful look.

All you need to produce this look is a Versamark Pad and some Stampin' Pastels.

We made 2 cards, using Stampin' Pastels, and one treat box using basic stamping.

For the Medallion card, we used the following supplies:
Stamp: Medallion* and Whimsical Words**
CS: Very Vanilla, Mellow Moss, So Saffron
Ink: Mellow Moss (for sentiment)
Chalk: Mellow Moss, So Saffron
Extras: Glue dot to adhere Pearl (from Pretties kit)
*Medallion stamp is from Idea Book and Catalog (pg.133, $17.95)
**Whimsical Words stamp from Sale-a-bration booklet (pg.8)and can be earned through promotion which ends March 31,2010

This card was simple yet let's the receiver know how you feel. We only used 2 colors, other than the Whisper White CS. It's hard to see in the photo but the strip of Chocolate Chip CS had been embossed with little dots using the Big Shot and a Texturz Plate.

Stamp:For all you do (flower)*, Whimsical Words**

CS: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Almost Amathyst

Ink: Almost Amathyst, Chocolate Chip

Chalk: Almost Amathyst

This little Treat Bag Cover is so cute! It can store a gift card, which is what I have inside this one, or you can fill the little bag with a few little Chocolate pieces. It's hard to see from the photo but the Circles are all textured using my Big Shot and Texturz plates. This project is also very versatile. Especially if you have the Whimsical words set which has multiple sentiments.
