I have been wanting to use this set for quite some time, and this was the perfect challenge to get the party started!
I've never been a big fan of using chalk pastels, but after a suggestion from my friend Lee, I tried using them with makeup applicators, which can be found at any drug store.
It was so simple to color these with the right applicator! Thanks Lee!
Also, these cards were going to be identical, just changing the color. My daughter informed me that girls arent into trains, so together we changed the second one..
I'm up at hampton beach today, and will be headed for the mountains, please check out what the bloggers challenge group ladies are up to. As soon as i have internet access, i'll be checking them out too!
Here'a a few close ups.

I really like basic gray with the pink and blue and you did a great job with the chalks!!!
Sweet cards, love the softness of the pastels.
Great job on both cards. I have not used my pastel in a long time. Great look.
Absolutely love that train image and the way you punched the bear! REally cute cards!
Very cute Selene! Leave it to Alexis to set you straight!
Love the pastels too!
I did the same thing and created a card for a boy and a girl. Both cards are great! The pastels give them a soft baby look.
Cute Cards. I love that Embossing Folder, it's so pretty.
Well I must tell you that my little granddaughter loves, trucks, trains, cars, dolls, dress-up - So girls can like trains.
The pastels give that softness that is perfect for a baby card. Both cards are simply adorable!!
Great card, love that you made 2 of them! My chalks haven't seen the light of day in years!

Great colour choices, very nice. I'm not a chalk/pastels person either, but you've done a great job with these.
