FM40 We've Gone Soft!

Today on the Friday Mashup, Holly is challenging us to pull out our pastels. I imagine the Mashup post and challenge thumbnails will be full of soft colors! At least that's what I associate in my mind with pastels.

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge :

1. Make a "Birthday" project.
2. Or Make a project using "Pastels".
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Birthday project using Pastels" .

I have to admit, it has been a while since I used my pastels. But Poppin' Pastels was one of the first techniques I thought of when I saw the Tea Shoppe stamp set.

You can see I cut the front edge of the card shorter with the Adorning Accents edgelits.

The tea cup was still a little too light for my liking, so I sponged the edges with Soft Suede. Hopefully this card will fill the recipient with warmth like a hot cup of tea! :)
