Good Monday, everyone! I hope we all had a pleasant weekend. My weekends and week days all blend together, so wishing someone a good weekend seems rather strange.
Today, in an effort to make this less stressful, I chose a very simple technique from 'way back when' called Crinkled Chalk. Beate created it back when chalk inks were the 'in thing.' Do you have to have chalk inks to do this technique?? Not at all! Use whatever inks you have. I still have chalk inks and surprisingly, they still had some juice. I will admit, I have never done this technique (I know, where have I been??!!) and was surprised how fun it was and how interesting the patterns were that the plastic wrap created. I found myself trying many different inks and color combos. I even took some of my dry chalks, rubbed them on a craft sheet, spritzed a little water and picked that up with the plastic wrap. It worked, a bit wetter so needs drying time, but another option. Less of the patterning occurs though.

Reason: in staging
What a fun technique! I look forward to trying it. My weekend was started with good intentions, but every time I sat at my desk, my husband wanted me to do something....alas, not much crafting time.

Just what I needed! I'd never done this and am happy to add this easy peasy technique to my skill set. Thanks! Gallery at Splitcoaststampers by Lori "Artzadoni"
I cannot believe I've never used saran wrap to create a background before today. It's so easy and I really like the result. Thanks for hosting this technique today!! Here's my card: A Nurse Brings...
Here’s mine Jean. I made two panels but chose this one as I needed these colours for another challenge and die cut. I enjoyed doing this challenge even though I don’t have chalk inks. I used others. Happy day

I don't have chalk inks anymore or plastic wrap! I used my regular ink pads and wax paper instead for my card. Lots of fun and amazingly enough I didn't get too much ink on my fingers, lol.
