WT898 - Chalk It Up to Experience - 05/26/2022

[Cook22]

It's Sabrina here as your hostess this week, and we're getting chalky.
Primary options are chalks, either pastels or pans.
But you may also have some chalk inks still in your supplies - they're good too.
And if you have neither, as far as I'm concerned DOX inks have a chalky look when spritzed with water - especially on glossy card; and as a real backstop there is the chalkboard technique as shown here: Chalkboard Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers. And eyeshadow can be used as a substitute for chalk with many of these techniques, too.

Other tutorials include

And you can do a marbling technique - scraping chalk over water and then dipping your paper in, same as you would for nail-polish marbling:
I've done this before, and really like the effect.

Personally with the chalk pastel techniques, I like to use fixative - but that goes way back to my early teens when I used them a lot for drawing, and hated it when they smudged.

Whatever chalk experience you go for, once you've finished your creation, upload it with the keywordWT898, and then come back and share a link here - that makes it easy for people to find your card in case of typos or gallery issues. .

Here's a link to our WT898 Chalk it Up to Experience gallery

Fun challenge, Sabrina. Always happy to use my chalk inks. I'll have to try the marbleing technique if I discover I still own any chalks.
Here is my card.

I combined this challenge with Misti's VSN challenge:

Virtually Chalky Flowers by berlycece at Splitcoaststampers

And then I used oil pastels on this VSN card for Lee's challenge, rubbing color in with my fingertips. Not really chalk, but I wasn't thinking at the time.;)
