If you’re looking for a subtle coloring medium I really recommend chalks. Also called pastels they are easy to work with and give a soft look to your stamped and colored images. I used them for this cute Halloween Scene card made with stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird. Visit my Youtube channel to watch this video to learn some tips on working with chalks or check it out down below.
I made two mixed media collage art wall hangings for Fall on vintage Bingo cards. One is a large wall hanging the other is an Artist Trading Card (ATC) ornament. I used products from Tim Holtz and supplies from the craft store to make them.
