Stay Kind | Castle Garden | Altenew

Hi Everyone,

Am here today with a floral card using a new to me Colouring Medium. Yes you heard me right. I love to experiment my coloring skills with a variety of Colouring medium and this time, its happened to be

Faber Castell Pastel Pencils.

They are chalky and unlike the regular wax based/oil based / or any other coloured pencils. The cardstock I used was Brustro Pastel assorted pack. It has a wonderful texture/tooth to pick the medium and the layering was pretty good.

Being my maiden attempt with this medium, I took a small floral spray from Altenew - Castle Garden for coloring.

Over to my card,

Stamped Altenew - Castle Garden using Antique Linen DI.
Colored using the Faber Castell Pastel Pencils.
Used Brustro Paper stumps for smudging and layering the colors.
Used Brustro kneadable eraser to take off the colors which was smudged around the image during coloring process.
Sentiments are from 2 different Altenew stamp sets, yet wonderfully worked together. Stamped using Altenew Coral Berry crisp ink pad.
Diecut the panel using scalloped outline die set.
Mounted this panel over the ivory A2 sized cardbase using foam adhesives.

Hope you like it!
