Chalk N Stock: Happy 4th of July!!!

Hello...Lynda here as the guest designer for the month of July! Happy 4th of July!!! I hope you are spending the day with friends and family...I am so excited to share with you each Wednesday some of my favorite creations featuring chalk!

Because today is all about spending time with friends, I thought I would celebrate a special friendship with a card. For this card, I first stamped my image using Memento ink. I colored the base of the image using Copic markers...then comes the magic...adding chalk in places on your stamped image to add shadows... the fantastic part about adding chalk to colored images is that if you make a mistake you simply erase the chalk and start over. I also used chalk to color the background behind the entire image.

I hope you'll give this technique a try...I'm sure you'll find it is a super fun and easy way to add depth to any stamped project!

Happy crafting...Lynda

Supplies used: Image: Little Foxes by gor juss; red pattern paper: Cosmo Cricket; Golden pattern paper: My Minds Eye; Markers: Copic, White Gel Pen, and chalks: Close To My Heart

About us...

We are so glad that you stopped by to visit. We want you all to know that we are not a blog affiliated with ANY company. This blog is NOT selling anything. From time to time we will have sponsors and you see their products used by the design team. It is then hoped that you will go to their stores and purchase their products as we don't sell any products here.

We are just a group of girls that like to play with chalk and wanted to create a place to show it!

For sponsor info or any other questions please email Tammylee at Craftyscrapper2@yahoo.com

...few simple rules to follow:

1. You must be a follower to join the challenge and there's two ways to do that.

You can follow us by email. There's only one or two posts a month, so following Chalk n Stock won't clog up your inbox.

2. Alternatively, if you're a Facebook member, you can join our Facebook group and follow Chalk n Stock there. You can also upload your challenge entries there too, by adding them to the event posted at the top of the page. You can contact me and I'll be happy to add you to the group personally. Make sure you add your blog link to your upload!

And there's another way to enter your projects, especially for those who don't have a blog. Post your entry on your FB wall, making sure to set your post to public and make sure you add a tag to the Chalk n Stock group in your post.

Then just add your entry to the current event.

Sadly, if you're not in some way a follower, your entry will be deleted.

3. You may enter up to four projects per month and there is no limit to the number of challenges you may enter the project into.

4. Finally, if you have a blog, you must mention the challenge in your blog post and include a link back to the Chalk n Stock Challenge page.

One additional thing... no back linking must be a current project that was created after the challenge was posted!

Like the coloring. I'm practicing my use of chalk & posted a Lighthouse today 7/8/12 I colored with Quick Quotes chalking inks. Not the greatest like my daughter's artwork but it made me feel somewhat like an artist.
