Cheers

A lot of people say they do not know what to do with their chalks, on this page they have been used two different ways.If you want to look in more detail click on the picture and it will ENLARGE.
This is a quick and simple page to make and will take about 30 mins

Take a 12 x12 sheet of Whisper white cardstock, use a cotton wool ball and rub it into your chalk colour(here i have used Rose red) then swirl it over your card until you get the desired colouring.
I matt and layered the photo again using Rose red cardstock and put it in tne center of the paper.
I then stamped images using the 'Cheers to you' stamp set on page 35 with staz on.This is a great set of 6 stamps for £14.95. There is also a lovely card in the idea's book and catalogue using this set to!
I then coloured the stamped images in using a blender pen(these are on page 81 you get 3 pens, which are double ended, so great value for £7.95) and chalks(americans call them stampin pastels, they are £22.95 for the whole su colour pallet and you get an eraser and 6 applicators)
If you have never coloured your stamped images in using chalks and blender pen .....you must try it ...........it is so good!
If you look at the left hand side of my bog you will find a link to stampin pastels which will show you how this is done. If you have the little purple techniques book you will find chalking in there with instructions on 'how to'
The letters i cut out of scraps of Rose red with my quickutz and and stuck on.
