I have combined the Crinkled Chalk Technique with today's Sketch Challenge. I found my old chalk inks still very juicy after many years of not being used. They created a great background for this quick and easy card.
Instead of using solid partial circles, I went for the Swirly Frames outlines to better show off the background.
Thanks for looking.

I really like the crinkled chalk background you created, Annette and the swirly black frames look wonderful with it. Great job with the sketch.

Love this one, Annette! I love that chalk background with the one little stamped leaf and overlapping swirled circles. Ooh, and I just spied your enveloped when I went back to take another look. Beautiful!

That background deserves the spotlight. Interesting juxtaposition of the organic with the geometric.
