Hostess club members had the chance to find out in July! Club members learned several techniques that made use of their Stampin' Pastels. The sample below is a watercolor technique using Stampin' Pastels and the Aqua Painter. I love this soft watercolor look and since Stampin' Pastels come in Stampin' Up!'s 48 exclusive colors, you have so many choices! The trees in the background were colored using a sponge dauber and 3 shades of green from the Stampin' Pastels.
Loads of Love, Loads of Fun, and Loads of Love Accessories stamp sets; More Mustard, Basic Black, and Whisper White cardstock; Jet Black Staz On and Stampin' Pastels; Sponge Daubers; Aqua Painter; 1/2" Chocolate Chip Library clip; Basic Black 1/4" grosgrain ribbon; 1 3//8" and 1 1/4" Square punch; Stampin' Dimensionals
The next technique is SO cool! It is called Reverse Pastels. It works best using a dark colored cardstock. I've used Chocolate Chip in this sample. Take a sponge dauber to dab and rub Stampin' Pastel color onto complete surface. Ink your stamp in VersaMark ink and stamp over chalked cardstock. The stamped image will remove the chalk revealing the dark cardstock underneath!

This is my new favorite stamp set - Medallion! It is a background stamp and so much more! Poppin' Pastels is an old school technique and I love the effect! Ink your image in VersaMark and stamp onto light colored cardstock. Using a sponge dauber, dab (don't rub) your favorite chalk from Stampin' Pastels over the stamped image. You can use as many colors as you want. You'll achieve a soft, beautiful image with a hint of color all around!
