Take care of your Pastels when you use your blender pens.  Only wipe the edges of your pastel color blocks with the blender pens.  After time a semi-hard surface will cover your pastels and you won’t be able to get any color on your sponges or daubers.  If you do get this coating on your pastels, wipe it off softly with your finger nail or a nail file.  Be gentle so you don’t break your pastels or take away too much color.  Did you also know that you can order a ‘family’ of pastels?  If you use up all of your Earth Elements pastels,  go to page 200 in your Idea Book & Catalog to see the pastels and then call me with your order.  Now get those pastels out and have fun blending and stamping!
