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!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet cards, love the softness of the pastels.

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.
