Happy spring.
Time for a really simple, fun and colorful technique.
This time I have dived into my old box of chalks.
This is what you’ll need for this technique:
“Happy Word Jumble” or a stamp of your choice.
A versamark inkpad (watermark or embossing inkpad )
Chalks
A large brush
White cardstock (or the color of cardstock you prefer)
Put your word-stamp on the acrylic block and gently add ink to the stamp.
Stamp on the cardstock. (yes it may be hard to see the “invisible” watermark.)
Use your brush on the chalk, and “paint” lightly over the stamped image.
You’ll soon see the stamped image pop with color.
You can add as much color as you like. More color for a bolder look. You can also use different colors for a rainbow-look.
I have used this technique to make fast, simple cards – but it is also suitable for making fun and easy backgrounds.
Happy stamping!
Beautiful cards Gudrun! I think I have to find my chalks agian….if I can find them that is
Great tutorial.
Love using chalks too Gudrun! Love the soft feel of your fun cards! Too cute!

Versamark is my favorite ink! Thanks for helping remind us to pull out the old chalks again.
I, too, needed a reminder to dig out the chalks!!! GREAT work.
