Greetings friends. Today I want to talk about creating a simple background with PanPastel chalks to really highlight your diecuts. For my card today, I started with a white cardstock and masked off an area for my sky using large post it notes. I sponged the area above the post it with Turquoise and Ultramarine chalk. When I removed the mask, I was left with this:
Next, I reversed my post it and colored the bottom of the card with Chrom Oxide Green and Phthalo Green chalks:
When I removed the Post It, you can see that my chalks didn’t quite meet each other in the middle:
I spent a little time buffing my edges with a sponge until the transition was smoother. To finish the card, I added my daisy silhouettes, a rhinestone for the flower centers, a little washi tape and my sentiment:
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
