Pastel Painting technique / Técnica de pintura com giz

I came across this technique yesterday and oh my GOD! I fell in love with it. It's so simple and turns out beautifully. Here are the results and right bellow, the step by step tutorial on how to color your stamps with pastels. My inspiration came from Petty Bennet, to check out her blog, click here. Hope you have fun!!

Aprendi ontem essa técnica de colorir com carimbos e giz no blog de Petty Bennet, fica lindo!!! Amei e já fiz os cartões abaixo. Para aprender, o passo a passo vem logo depois das imagens. Divirta-se!

TUTORIAL / PASSO A PASSO

1. Ink your stamp using Versamark, then apply the color in circular motion using your sponge daubers. You can use different colors if you want to add a shade effect, here I didn't.

1. Carimbe sua imagem em papel branco usando Versamark ou qualquer marca de tinta utilizada para "embossing". Depois aplique a cor em movimentos circulares até atingir a cor que quiser. 

2. To clear it up and remove and excess, swirl over the colors with a cotton ball (not the white or it will smear) and you're finished.

2. Por fim, limpe de leve (só em cima da área colorida) com uma bolinha de algodão. É isso!

ONE LAST TIP: instead of using double-sided foam tape I learned with Jennifer McGuire to use craft foam. It leaves your die cut more even. You can use your cutting machine, here is how I did mine. If you want to check Jennifer's blog, click here, she is one of my favorite stamping masters! She has a great YouTube channel too.
