CHF Challenge #5 - Chalks

Hi everyone! I'm slowly recovering from a wonderful week of Backgrounder challenges at Cornish Heritage Farms. I had a blast! And I was inspired by all the wonderful ideas added to the gallery.

It's Monday again and the CHF team has another challenge. This week our challenge surrounds the use of chalks. I would hazard a guess that any stamper that's been around a bit has a set of these hanging out in their supplies. I've recently added a set of Pebbles Pearlescent chalks to my collection and love them. The soft colors and easy applicator make it perfect for a number of techniques. They are currently on sale at CHF, in case you'd like to add them to your stash of supplies. ;-)

Julia wrote a wonderful spotlight article on them in the forum: HERE.

Hello:

I used VersaMark ink and dusted my images with multiple chalks. When I was finished with the card, I used a sponge and dusted the card with the silvery-white chalk so the whole project shimmers.

Check out these lovely ladies for more inspiration:

We'd love to see your challenge creations. We have a thread in the forum dedicated to our weekly challenges. And be sure to check out the Announcements thread for gallery participation.

Thanks for stopping by,
