Pastelled Medallion

Stampin Addicts Technique Challenge TECH18: Poppin' Pastels-

Directions:

1) Stamp your image on your card using Versamark Ink

2) Color your image by gently dabbing/pouncing pastels using sponge daubers, q-tips, or applicator tool.

3) Blow away any excess pastel dust and embellish your card as desired

On my card, I ran a strip on Blush Blossom Cardstock through my Big Shot using my new Textured Impressions Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder. Next I ran some versamark over the raised embossed image and then added pastels to color in the floral design.

Finally I finished by adding some Sage Shadow grosgrain ribbon over the seam and a Blush halfback pearl in the center of my medallion.

I also stamped the Medallion on the inside of the card with Versamark and added the "Birthday Wishes" sentiment in Creamy Caramel ink. I adhered my leftover stip of embossed cardstock to the inner left hand side of the card as well.
