Supplies:

CS-Bazzill and Chatterbox
Ink by Memento
Die cut by Spellbinders
Embossing folder by Provo Craft 




Welcome to the first week of the Chalk-Ah-Lot Cafe challenge. This challenge blog is the first of it's kind to require you to use chalk on your project/creation. 

The chalk that we get to play with is so much fun and versatile. It's powder chalk by Stamp N Plus Scrap N It comes in a variety of colors that you can purchase in a set or individually. Here is a picture of the chalks:

It's a fun powder that you can use on its own or add it to other mediums such as paint, glue, Stickles, water, Gesso and much more. There are so many techniques that one could use with these chalks. The possibilities are endless. 

So for our first challenge, which will run for 2 weeks the theme is ANYTHING GOES.

For my card, I used the color Gem combined with paint and applied it directly onto the stamp using a paintbrush and then stamped it onto my paper. The stamps (flourish and sentiment) can be purchased at The Stamp Affair

Birthday Cake and Presents Card for Robyn's Fetish Challenge #89

This week at Robyn's Fetish Challenge we have a sketch for you to follow. 
We were sponsored by Delicious Doodles.
Here is the sketch and my card using an image from Delicious Doodles.




I used a background stamp from Hero Arts to heat emboss with clear embossing powder on the red paper. I then sprayed the paper with Perfect Pearls and water. The present stickers are by Jolee's and the felt ribbon by Oriental Trading Co. The circle was cut out using my Cricut and then stamped with a Fiskars dotted line circle using red ink by Stampin Up. I colored in the image with my Copic markers. The Happy Birthday sentiment stamp is from Maya Road and the border punch is by Martha Stewart. The white paper is by Recollections and the red by CGull. Thanks for looking.
