I hope that lots of you are starting to think about making your own cards this season! I've got lots more ideas coming for those of you that are. There are also lots of great classes planned to get you started, or you can contact me to host your own class. One class makes three cards for $5 - great deal!
Here's a card that features a technique I don't think I've talked about - chalk popping! Chalk popping not only looks good, it's quite fun to do. Using a versamark ink pad, stamp your image. You won't be able to see it very well, but once you start applying chalk, it appears! I use a simple sponge dauber and dab on the image. Rubbing doesn't tend to work very well, and you will risk smudging your image up.
The snowflakes were chalk popped in Vineyard Berry chalk. I LOVE that the soft chalks match the CTMH colors! I also used a sponge dauber to apply ink (another great use of the daubers) to the "Merry Christmas" square.
As an aside, I apologize for recent troubles with this website. I've been working hard at getting it to work in all platforms and browsers, but I may have to resort to switching the site over to another blog service. I will keep you posted. Till then, know that I have been *trying* to post all my ideas, they just don't want to stay on the site!
