My goal is to try a new technique every Tuesday and this is what I did yesterday. The technique is called Poppin' Pastels and I love some of the cards I've seen done with it. This was the first time I'd even opened the box of Pastels and I had no idea how fun they could be! I think I'll color the stems in with a marker and then do the chalks on the flowers if I use this stamp again. It is rough to get those little lines in!
I've wanted to do a filmstrip card FOREVER and I finally did one this week. I hope I can figure out some different things to put in the "picture" part and background because it is such a super cute idea!
