Instructions:
1. Create Doodle Flowers
-Use a black fine-line marker to draw simple “skeleton” flowers and flower centers on either watercolor paper or Basic White card stock.
2. Add Color with Soft Pastels
-Apply lines of soft pastel chalk directly over the drawn lines of the flowers.
3. Blend the Pastels
-Use your fingertip, sponge dauber, water painter, or a q-tip dipped in a small amount of water to gently blend the pastels.
For the yellow and orange flowers, I used watercolor paper and blended the pastels with q-tips and water.
For blue and purple flowers, I used Basic White card stock and blended the pastels with my fingertips.
4. Finish the Card
-Stamp greetings using Memento Black ink.
-Attach to Basic Black mats, then to
Lemon Lolly or Coastal Cabana card bases.
-Add Black Matte Dots to complete.
