a fun technique to try....more samples....

[Ruth Ann Landry]

I was playing in my (s)craproom and this is the result....I stamped the tree image onto watercolor paper with versa mark then dried with heat gun...i think any paper will do....I got out my chalks and started to "paint" the image with various colors using my fingers....colors can be added atop one another...I think the result is really cool and this is an easy one to do....For reference, this is ATC sized.

REALLY pretty, Ruth Ann! Thanks for sharing both the result and how you achieved it!

Cute results!!! I hope to try it! TFS!

I like that.

It doesn't have to be a "picture"...you could do it with any background stamp! and it can be done in one color.

Very nice, Ruth Ann. I'm going to have to try this!

[Ruth Ann Landry]

This one is done twice....the background script chalked in the palest lavendar, then overstamped in versamark with flower, dried, and chalked in darker purple and green

Here is an example of how you might make "fake" old documents...post card stamp in versamark, dried, brown chalk...

just a geometric with Dani's fav colors.....

It's about time my chalks came out of hiding...I never really knew what to do with them...used them a couple time to lightly tint something, but that's about it....

I did this for a swap once. Had forgotten about it.
Thanks for the reminder

[azemigh]

cool! I will definitely give it a try.

They are all quite nice-- is this what's coming as a BG?

Those are all so pretty! It's been AGES since my chalks have been out. The last time I used them was to color in a stamped image. I used a q-tip to help me stay in the lines. I love the soft look of chalk. It's been forever since I've chalked a versa mark stamped image though - thanks for the reminder! I need to do that again.
