Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted life has just gotten too busy.
I now have a new laptop, which is a little bit of a learning curve for me as I've switched from a Windows based system to an Apple MacBook Air. My poor brain is going into a tail spin as everything I do I have to look up and re learn. As we all know old habits die hard 🤣
Also we were away visiting family and friends In eastern Canada or three weeks in July and came home to a tree fallen on our garage. Luckily it only damaged the guttering.
The tree has now been removed and the gutter replaced, The hot summers we have been having over the years caused the trunk to die, I must admit I'm not sad it's gone, it was a twisted willow which was just in the wrong place.
I'm finally back to card making and now just catching up with a past technique by the Group of Cardmakers. When I made mine I wanted to try Pastels on black card, I used Pan Pastels, Pastel Pencils and some Cheap Pastel chalks just to try them out. The pastels were blended in the same way as the inks in the videos below. The Northern Lights technique works well with die cuts using the silhouette images.
As you can see I had to use my Polar bear dies for this technique.
Different suggested ways to do the technique or try your own way!
Videos: Some of the video are quite long, but worth watching ...
