Kyla,
An oldie but goodie and still my favorite thing to do with pastels is popping pastels. I vividly remember looking at a card done using this technique at one of my first stamp camps and going "I can't make that" and was totally amazed at what I did. That card and popping pastels is what truly hooked me on rubber stamping.

Very cute card! I love your idea of faux eyelets. Another way to add visual dimension without adding actual hardware to the card. Great blog too!
This was a fun one I did recently w/ chalks.

Masked the butterfly, stamped cheesecloth w/ versamark and chalked bashful around the edges and navy on the outside. The butterfly is painted w/ pearl-ex and floor wax. I hope you can use it - I get tons of inspiration from you. LOVE you blog!

What about the 2-step stamping with chalks that they demoed at convention last year. Think there might have abeen an article in SS too.
I also like to do the reverse poppin' pastels.

A fun variation to the poppin' pastels technique is to stamp your image with white craft ink and then apply a few coordinating colors of stampin' pastels using a cotton ball. I like to apply it in a swirling motion so the colors sort of blend together.

Another nice technique for a newbie that is easy yet beautiful is to just stamp your image with versamark and color it with chalks and a dove blender.
Another nice one too is stamp your image and then color it in using chalks and a dove blender.
I like both of these techniques.
