Chalk Popping

This month we are going to learn how to do Chalk Popping!  One of my favorite ways to make my layouts or cards unique.  So that's what we are going to do!!

For this technique you need:
     White Cardstock
     Embossing Buddy
     Favorite Stamp
     Embossing Pad
     Decorating Chalks

Step 1
     Rub your embossing buddy over the area of cardstock that you are going to stamp your image on.

Step 2
    Using embossing ink, ink your stamp of choice well and stamp it on the area of cardstock that you used the embossing buddy on.  Make sure your image stamps well.  If you are having a problem getting your image to stamp well, try putting a thin layer of foam underneath your cardstock.

Step 3
     Rub your chalk applicator onto the chalk color of your choice and then gently rub the applicator over the stamped image.  If you choose you can chalk your image in several different colors.   



Thats it!  Very simple, but it turns out beautiful!  You can also be creative.  Use several colors and make it as creative as you are!  The skys the limit!!
