@MarthaHolmes The great thing about the Stampin' Pastels is that they don't need to be sealed. They're a little bit more oily than regular 'chalks' that you find on the shelf with scrapbooking supplies. I do tell my stampers that they shouldn't "lick their finger and rub" but otherwise, the pastels stay on the paper just fine :)
I am planning on stenciling something with soft pastels, I need to know, will this EVER completly dry so it won't rub off once it's stenciled on? I just ask b/c I notice it is sold UNCOVERED, so was wondering what keeps it from drying in the container.
@littlebit19801 The Stampin' Pastels from SU are a hybrid between chalks and pastels. They have a bit more oil than typical 'chalks' so they stay where you put them better, and the color saturation is nicer. The Stampin' Pastels aren't a true 'pastel' though, so they aren't really 'wet'. But definitely they aren't appropriate for a permanent application unless you are planning to seal with a spray or other coating. Happy Stamping! --Meg
@lovenstamps I do plan on coating in with a laquer, but I just can't use wet acrylic paint for stenciling, b/c it gets all over the stencil then all over the project.
Hi, can you make a tutorial on how to use glimmer chalks? I recently bought some and found the consistency to be different than my regular chalks. It's more soft, in fact very soft, the one I got, and it doesn't spread well on paper. Any ideas on how to use glimmer chalks?
Great video and very cute card. I love the use of the eraser to make the grid. What do you use to seal the card? What type of spray?
