Poppin' Buds



I've had numerous people on SCS ask me "How'd you do that!?"... well, here's the scoop!

First, the leaves and flowers were stamped in Versamark on black cardstock. Stamp the flowers separately as they will be cutout later!

Emboss the images with white embossing powder.. let sit for a few minutes to "set".

The images were colored using pastels, a blender pen and a very small drop of water. I put the water directly onto the pastels, made a little "pool" of color, then used the blender pen to apply the color to the image. I started with a really light load .. colored all over the image, then added more where I needed shading.

Hint!: Solid images work for this technique... line images, well, not so good! :)

The layering on the card is NON-SPECIFIC! I do not measure anything ... I make cards like I cook.. hehe.
