Chalk-Ah-Lot challenge #12


This week at Chalk-Ah-Lot Cafe our challenge is Red, White and Blue. 

*You must use powdered chalks by Stamp N Plus*

For my card I used a combination of red chalks and paint to create the colored background on my label that my sentiment is on. 
If you take a bit (the size of a pinky nail) and mix it with paint or Elmer's glue or Mod Podge or Glossy Accents or Liquid Pearls you get a medium in which you can paint onto your paper. It makes for a great background and once it dries you can easily stamp on it. I use Stampin Up, Close to my Heart and Memento Inks ink pads when stamping on a chalked surface.

For other tips on how to use powdered chalk check out the website HERE

My star stamps are by Stamp N Plus (S973 and S880)
star brads by Eyelet Outlet
Ink by Close to my Heart and Stampin Up
label by Martha Stewart
die cut by Spellbinders
card base by Michael's

Thanks for looking.
