This is for today's Ways to Use It challenge, WT291--Tissue Paper. I chose to use the Faux Silk technique, which involves stamping on tissue paper. A great tutorial for it is found here: Faux Silk Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
This is my fourth SNEAK PEEK of the six new clear stamp sets that will released by Mark's Finest Papers next week. This set is called, appropriately enough, Seasonal Poinsettias. I'm looking forward to doing some watercolor painting with this set next week!
The color combo is for the new Play Date Cafe challenge (PDCC50) to use melon and green. I thought these would be perfect for a "pink poinsettia" card! I stamped the poinsettia in Versamark on tissue paper and used chalks to color it in. I figured that most other coloring methods would bleed on the tissue, and I love the soft look the chalks gave this image--the perfect look for my faux silk!
Thanks for looking!
