Each month, we'll be bringing you a new technique to try. We'll also have several samples for you to see! Look to the bottom of this page for more samples.
Hope you're inspired!
What you’ll need:
1 Chalks of your choice
2 Textured white card stock
3 Text weight paper
4 Embossing ink pad
5 Gold embossing powder
6 Card stock for layering
7 Folded card
8 Dusting cloth
9 Cotton balls
10 Stamps of your choice
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Tear a piece of text weight paper randomly along one edge. You can make it as straight or wavy as you like.
- Lay the torn piece of text weight paper about 1/2 inch from the top of the white card stock. This will act as your mask as you chalk each layer.
- Using cotton balls, apply chalks in rows on the white card stock, starting from the top and working your way down, moving the torn paper down a little bit after each successive row is chalked.
- Continue adding chalked rows until you get to the bottom of the white piece. You can use as many different colors of chalk as you like for this.
- Lightly brush off excess powder with a dusting cloth. I do not seal the chalks and have not had a problem with them smearing.
- Stamp image onto the chalked piece with the embossing ink pad.
- Heat emboss with the gold embossing powder. Or, you may use any color embossing powder you want to.
- Punch corners with decorative punch and layer onto card stock.
- Attach this to your folded card.
