Chalks and pastels are fun alternatives for backgrounds. This soft, snowy sky was created by stamping Crystal Pattern in VersaMark Watermark ink and lightly pouncing on Phthalo Blue Tint PanPastel with a Sofft Art Sponge. Firmer dabbing pressure around the outside edge will yield darker tones and enhance the highlighting effect.

Have a great day,
