The celebration of World Watercolor Month continues as we look at our soft pastels. Theses work beautifully with our water painters to bring your stamped images to life. For the card below, I used the floral image from the new Hello Harvest stamp set, watercolored with our soft pastels, to create the focal point.
It’s really very easy to watercolor with our soft pastels as I demonstrate in this video. I used the Mango Melody, Mossy Meadow, and Poppy Parade pastels to watercolor my mage.
Here are the measurements for all the cardstock I used to create this card:
- Mossy Meadow 4 1/4″ x 11″; scored at 5 1/2″
