Creative Challenge -- Chalk Backgrouds (ignore this post)
« on: June 01, 2020, 09:16:28 AM »
Hi Everyone! Here is the challenge for this week - June 1st - June 7. I hope you will enjoy it.

Chalk backgrounds --

Choose a background stamp and stamp it on white card stock using Versa Mark ink. (I found that using a larger more solid patterned background worked best) like the circles on my card below. Use a cottonball and apply colors in a circular motion over the inked background. Next stamp a more open background over your chalked background, using a darker color of ink. I played with a few backgrounds. You can see some of my backgrounds and the card I made below.

I can't wait to see what you make!

Ok, my brain must not be working.
You want me to stamp a background stamp in versermark.
Then go over it with cotton ball with chalk
Real chalk?  Chalk ink? Or do you want a chalk look like with distress oxide ink?
Then stamp over the coloring in dark ink?
Then only post it on the thread not the gallery?
