I just played with the my new PanPastels to create an amazing background for a masculine card. This is one of the three cards we are making at my upcoming Manly Man class. Details about the class below.
First I'll show you the card and then we can talk about PanPastels!
The color patches you seen the background of this card and made using the Party Pop PanPastels. They look like this:
PanPastels are artists' quality soft pastels that come in a pan (cake-like), like you see here, as opposed to a crayon like form. They are highly-pigmented, easily blended together, and low dust. People say you can use them like paints. I love that Fun Stampers Journey has partnered with the PanPastel company, who makes the best pastels on the market, to bring us these in the FSJ colors. There are four different color collections to choose from and all match the FSJ colors.
When you get your pastels they come with a set of applicator sponges in different sizes so you can start playing right away.
My biggest tip about these is that you need VERY little to get the rich dark color that you see in the pan on your paper. They suggest that you rub your sponge lightly across, or around the pan 2-3 times. I found 2 is plenty.
And I was AMAZED at the saturation of color, bright and rich! The feel of rubbing these into the paper was a smooth and slightly creamy. If you are using the small amount recommended on your sponge you will not have dust. If you do get dust, then you have too much pastel on your sponge.
I am looking forward to showing you, in video, how to use these! Stay tuned for that in a day or so.
For now here is another look at the card.
You might have noticed that I colored the truck panel with the PanPastels too. Just stamp your image on Whip Cream card stock with our clear embossing ink and then rub the pastel over it. I did the same with the Route 66 sign as well. I am loving the versatility of the pastels!
