Pastel Techniques: Magic Pastels

The Stamp-A-Ma-Jig is an absolute necessity for this technique. Use it for perfect placement of any image every time!

Place the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig on your work surface and snug the clear plastic sheet into the corner of the tool.

Ink the image with a dark colour and stamp it on the clear sheet using the corner of the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig as a guide.

Secure the card stock to your work surface with temporary adhesive.

Position the image on the clear sheet over the card stock.

Snug the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to the corner of the clear sheet.

Remove the clear sheet and stamp the image using the corner of the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig as a guide.

For this technique use a light ink colour. I used Crumb Cake.

Use foam eyeshadow applicators to apply pastels to the image. Blend the colours and don't worry if you get some of the chalk outside the lines.

I used Early Espresso, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron and More Mustard.

Now line up the image on the clear plastic sheet with the chalked image on the card stock.

Snug the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to the corner of the clear sheet. Remove the clear sheet and stamp the image with dark ink. I used Early Espresso.

Use a cotton ball and the eraser from the Stampin' Pastels kit to clean up the chalk around the image.
