Pastels Are Challenging

April 11 - 17


I have to admit, I much prefer working with bright or rich colors than pastels. Pastels are down-right difficult for me. So I was more challenged than usual with this week's Crafty Ho Challenge. Yep, you guessed it. This week's challenge is all about pastels.

Even with my given handicap (no pastel ability!) I managed to put together a set of two baby cards. I hope you'll take the challenge with me! I want to learn from you; I want to see what you can do with pastels.

My Romper Card was made completely out of papers from my scrap file.

  2. Very cute! Love both cards, is the romper from a template or did you design free hand?

  6. Awww...what a cute image, you did a great job using the pastels!

    Funny, pastels are the easiest for me to use, I have the hardest time with bold bright. So great that the SMC DT has such a nice variety :o)
