New Technique

Hi Stampers!
The wonderful stampers over at Handstamped Sentiments selected my "Mom" card as one of their top 3 for the challenge last week!  I'm so excited!

 I decided that I needed to join their challenge again this week!  What is the challenge this week?  A new technique they are calling "black magic".  Basically, it is a way to stamp on your black card stock and let your colors show through.  It looks really neat- you can check it out:

To get the look you stamp your image onto the black card stock with the craft white Stampin' Pad (or another light color), let it dry (if you are more patient than I am) and then color over with your watercolor pencils.  Pretty, isn't it?  Well, I cheated.  I wanted a more vibrant look than the watercolor pencils were giving me we I pulled out my handy dandy Stampin' Pastels and had at it.  Let me show you the difference:

When I look at the photograph uploaded onto my computer I can see that the watercolor pencil draft on the left is really quite pretty and tidier than the pastels on the right.  In the poor lighting in my workshop you could barely see the color, hence the use of the pastels.  If it would ever stop raining here maybe I'll get some better lighting!  Until then, pastels for me!
I will get back with my supply list in the morning so please check back!  I also have the retired stamp list available for you!
Thanks for stopping by!
