Chalks - a new technique by Carole'Anne

Good day!

This morning I was really happy to be creating something new for you!

Something that I beleive is NEW!

I was watching some video's last night and seen an idea that sparked my interest.

they used a blending medium for chalk.

Sooooooooooooo my thought was, what could I use to make this with Stampin Up Products!

By Gollie George I got it!

Let's get started!

choosing colours first!

thinking about stamps -  but this won't work -

new stamp set chosen

I beleive I am on my way - I used the Lunch time sketch design for the lay out of this card

here is the skecth!

Chalks were my first step - since this is ofcourse my technique! ( thank you Mary Jo for the the little push to take this out again)  HE HE :)
I took a piece of the chalk of the desired colour, and I grated it that little piece into a round paint dish.

But get this, I put the new shimmery paint in the dish first.................. ouh are you going where I am going???

I did several colours

Now I have a beautiful paint medium to use (and it's all Stampin Up!)  - it's shimmery and it matches all sorts of card stock because the chalks  have 51 different colours, such a great selection.

I like that I have complete control with a paint brush or using an aqua painter!

so now I can go in and easily add shadows and such, all I did was darken this colour with black...................

adding the shadows.............. TIP: if the paint mixture is getting a little thick, all I did was add a little water to it - and voila!

so just to add  a little more - I put Crystal effects on the eyes and the noses.  What I find easier then squeezing it out of the bottle is, using my stylus.  I sqeezed  a little amount on a scrap piece of paper, which I am sure you have LOL - and I load up the end of my stylus with the crystal effects and then just dab in the desired area!

Keep in mind that this was my first ever attempt at making a card with this technique created by me with that Shimmery Paint.............. having said that I hope to make an even better card tomorrow! :)

So here's where  I thought things were going good right..................

That is until my marker slipped off the edge of my coloured card stock and made  a BIG  RED MARK, did I mention a BIG RED MARK??? Take a look at this................. I am such a dork! LOL :)

oh my - can you beleive it, and I am at the assembly stage - I do not have time to redo it now, cause I got to go to work :(

Let me see what can do???

well NOT perfect - but it will just have to do for today - SAD :(

Oh well my mom always told me told  "dont cry over spilled milk", or should I say "BIG RED MARK"! HE HE

Here we go.................... You know it!

The FUN FUN PART! Oh Yha! lets do this :)

did you know that you can punch a hole right thru the ribbon with the Cropadile!?

 I added dimentionals on the back of my circle to pop up the Red nose raindeer!

here we go - I know its really hard to see the shimmer in it, but in real life it's so shimmery, except for my BLOB - oops :) - I am sad that it is less then perfect, however, I am only human - and maybe just maybe tomorrow I will not have an big OOPS !! HE HE

a few more up close photos for you to look at!

one last photo for you!

that is folks!

Oh wow! This is so cool!What a great technique you've invented! And your card is beautiful! These reindeer crack me up!And you disguised your mistake very well:-) Thanks for sharing.
I would like to try this technique. I have 2 questions. How did you grate your chalks? I don't have any of the shimmer paints but i do have some of the Lumiere paint that SU! used to carry. Do you think that would work?

[jmniffer]

Great card with a fun technique. I may have to get some of the shimmery paints yet. Also, I love the little "smidgen" spoon you have! Thanks for sharing, jmniffer.

The card is great. You always do wonderful work. I HAVE to get this shimmer paint. People are just doing too many things with it not to try it myself. Thank you for all the great details you show us. It really helps.

[sandi]

ok first, awesome card.
Second, AWESOME IDEA. I bet it is very shimmery in real life. Ok, I'm trying this first thing in the morning, thank you for sharing this great idea with us.

[Mary Jo Price-Williams]

Brilliant idea! I love it. I may have to get some of those shimmer paints. Your card has so many great details. Thanks so much for playing in both my sketch and the LNS weekly challenge. You are awesome.
