Chalked Dahlia

Ok, so I made THREE cards using the Delicate Dahlias, I LOVE it so much!  Today's card is a "throwback" to when we had Stampin' Pastels.  It uses a technique called Poppin' Pastels, which uses a Versamark Ink Pad, and our Soft Pastels!!  I've included a quick video on this technique with this post.  Will do a more in-depth video of how to use this awesome color tool, soon!  So stay tuned! For a softer background, I stamped on our Shimmery White. And mounted that to a piece of our gorgeous, new Ombre Glitter Paper! Check out my video below!




Measurements:   

  • Coastal Cabana: 1/2 sheet
  • Ombre Glitter Specialty Paper (N): 3 3/4" x 5"
  • Shimmery White: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
To Make This Card:

  • Attach "Navy" glitter paper to folded Coastal Cabana card.
  • Cut a stitched scallop from Shimmery White, using Scalloped Contour Dies. 
  • Stamp "solid" Dahlia in VersaMark in upper left corner of Shimmery rectangle.
  • Now, "scribble" Night of Navy pastel onto piece of scrap paper.  Use a sponge dauber to lift the "chalk" and rub color into the center of the flower.  Repeat until the desired shade.
  • Now, "scribble" Coastal Cabana pastel onto your scrap.  Repeat with a new dauber, blending into the Navy color as well.  Blow off any extra powder.
  • Then, stamp the "leaves".  "Scribble" some Granny Apple Green onto your paper, take another dauber and color in the color.  (Save and label these daubers for Pastels!  You can use them again!)
  • Stamp sentiment in Coastal Cabana.  Mount this piece onto Glitter paper.
  • Finish with InColor Gems in the center of the Dahlia, and scattered Navy Rhinestones from the Holiday collection.
