In today's Learn to Stamp video, I'm showing you how I stamped with my Soft Pastels:

There are so many different ways that you can use the Soft Pastels. Recently, Stampin' Up shared on Instagram a way that you can stamp with them, and I was intrigued. I gave it a try, and it really isn't that hard. I tried it on Thick Basic White, Shimmery White and the Watercolor Paper and I thought all of them came out equally nice. The other thing I did different was that the original instructions said to spritz the stamp again after you add the pastels, but I found it wasn't necessary and actually made the stamp more wet than I liked. I would encourage you to give this one a try.

When you place an order on my website in the month of August using hostess code 33QRDWCZ I will send you my Color and Contour tutorial for free. If your order is over $150, please don't use the hostess code so you can keep the Stampin' Rewards for yourself. I will send you the tutorial automatically.

Happy stamping!
