Chalk-Ah-Lot Pastel Butterfly Thanks Card

Edited May 2021. See sidebar for explanation 

This week at Chalk-Ah-Lot Cafe our challenge is CHALK DIRECT TO PAPER. So no paint or water or glue or anything just the chalk. I dusted my chalk onto the bottom portion of the card. It's light but it does have these fun streaks in it. I love the way they stand out. The flourish on the card was brushed with chalk and paint. You can find the powdered chalks HERE. They are truly fabulous. I have been using them on everything lately. The butterfly and sentiment stamps are by Stamp N Plus Scrap N. Thanks for looking:)
