ReplyDeletestar24601@gmail dot com
Thanks for the idea. I dont have chalk but I do have pastels and Im hoping I can make those work for me. I did some pasteling with a proj already but it got messy. I think I just have to be a bit more patient with my techniques. And you are right, you have a steadier hand with chalk/pastel than with ink. Ive ruined some of my items using ink. Perhaps you can check out my blog and let me know what you think of my pasteling. Any suggestions. All are welcome.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Yes, you are right, inking most of the time makes a mess somewhere. It would be nice to be able to "erase" your mistakes!!!

I have a question for you on the video. You said you used design studio for the face of the doll so it would not cut and you could use your stamps. How do you do this step? I know I could you the blackout button , but I am really wondering how the design studio works. Thank.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your technique!!! :) Your card really looks amazing! I haven't used my SU! pastels in forever, but I think I'll dust them off... (do you have to spray it or anything to set it or does just blowing off the excess work?).
What an amazing, generous prize, too! I love all of Robyn's (My Pink Stamper's) stamps.
