PITT Pastel Pencils offer many possibilities for blending and highlighting. By using short bending strokes, colors within small intricate areas can be intensified and delicate shadows can be achieved. This worked extremely well for the small berries.
Highlighting with the gray PITT Pastel Pencil softened the design and added a subtle glow. Blending was done with my fingertip.
Tip/Hint: PITT Pastel Pencil markings can easily be erased which provide additional options for manipulating the color and intensity.
The Mix & Match qualities of Faber-Castell's products are fabulous for coordinating colors between different mediums. As seen here, the red mat created by applying Stamper's Big Brush Pens in deep scarlet red and magenta to white cardstock coordinates fabulously with the pastel pencil medium. This is also a savvy way to save on colored cardstock when just a small portion is exposed within the design. In addition, the same Stamper's Big Brush Pens were used to alter the ribbon.
A few vertical dry embossed lines at the bottom of the card base lends a bit more "visual" weight to the design and anchors the matted artwork.
