Instructions
- Stamp leaves and vine in Certainly Celery.
- When doing the leaves, use the “stamp off” technique which gives the lighter shade. Meaning, ink the leaves with Certainly Celery, stamp on your grid/scrap paper, then stamp on the “good” cardstock (your card front).
- Ink floral bush-like stamp in Blush Blossom.
- Stamp the highlighted floral stamp in Versa Mark, and then on the cardstock (two-step stamping).
- Use the sponge dauber in a peach/pink color pastel and dab over the versa marked area. Shake off excess powder from chalk/pastels. You can use the eraser that comes with the Stampin’ Pastels if you wish to “clean up” any of the pastels that may have gone outside the “lines”.
- Finish card with greeting and ribbon (ribbon held with Mini Glue Dots).
