Poppin’ Pastels
by Beate Johns
Use your chalks and applicators to make unseen images colorful.
Supplies
- Versamark® Pad
- Versamarker® (optional)
- Stamps
- Cardstock
- Sponge Daubers or other applicators
- Pastels also known as chalks
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Stamp images with Versamark™ onto cardstock. The flower head was stamped three times here.
-
Step 2
Rub the sponge dauber (other other applicator) on the pastel color of your choice to pick up the color.
-
Step 3
Dab or rub the sponge dauber over the stamped image. The chalk will stick to it.
-
Step 4
Take another dauber and repeat to add another color.
-
Step 5
Add more images if desired. Here, flower stems, leaves and centers were added.
-
Step 6
Apply chalk over these images.
-
Step 7 (Optional)
Use a Versamarker to apply ink to other unstamped areas.
-
Step 8
Apply more chalk.
-
Step 9
To define your stamped images more, try outlining or doodling around them with a marker.
-
Step 10
Finish your project.
Variations
HINTS:
-The pastels will rub off a bit. You can avoid that by spraying your chalked image with acrylic sealer.
-This is a fun activity for smaller children. Stamp images in Versamark, give them a sponge dauber and chalk and tell them to rub over the cardstock until they find it.
