Ok, so this challenge was super hard for me! I was doing okay until I got to the sentiment. I stamped "Cherish" and then I realized I needed a second sentiment. I tried to stamp just the word "Life", but the rest of the sentiment appeared a little on my paper. I had tried to wipe off all the extra ink on the sentiment. The full sentiment is "life is a matter of moments". I don't really do re-dos, so I found something to cover up my boo-boo. I have two image stamps. Two types of white paper. Two colors of ink. Two colors of chalk. Two sentiments and two pieces of patterned paper.

Your chalking is so soft and pretty - I haven't pulled out my chalks in such a long time - maybe I should! Thank you so much for supporting Hope You Can Cling To!

I would never have known that the corner wasn't part of your original design. My favourite way of partially inking a sentiment is to put sellotape as a mask over the part I don't want to ink - then ink the whole thing and pull the tape off. So long as the stamp is clean (not always true for me!!) then you're good to go.
