Welcome to my 4th and final card in the series! Today I am coloring the Sheltering Tree image and using a sofft tool to create a smoother look and to add some detail.
I left this card very clean and simple. I feel so peaceful looking at it. Here is a close-up of the leaf coloring:

Oh, Darlene, this card is so peaceful and lovely. Just absolutely stunning. I love Sheltering Tree stamp set but this time it is even more special than the other cards you’ve made. Thanks for a great series and for opening my eyes to the possibilities of using pan pastels!

Darlene, thanks for all your pan pastel videos. They are all lovely, especially this one. I guess I’m going to add these to my Christmas list, no wait! My birthday is October, that’s perfect. Maybe you could do a Christmas card with the pastels.
Have a wonderful weekend and stay cool.

Love the card. But I have a question….my sheltering tree leaves have a grid like look too them. Is yours like that too?
Carol Mac
Hi Patti, yes mine do too…if you look at the close up (last photo above, before the video) you will see the grid lines. 😎

Very nice. I wonder how many other viewers tried to blow the little bits of eraser off the screen like I did, before you wiped them from the screen. Hah!

Lovely card! This series has convinced me…I NEED those pan pastels. They are on my Amazon wish list, and I soon as I can fit them into my budget they will be headed my way.

This is so beautiful….and I have really enjoyed this series so much. I didn’t know anything about pan pastels and now I do! Super interesting medium. Now to decide…should I or should I? (Probably will!!!
Many thanks, Darlene. I love these series that you do!
