Chalk Ink Inspiration with Crystal

Hello! Crystal here to host the blog. First, thank you for joining us today for some card inspiration featuring Quick Quotes Chalking Inks. This card was made by stamping lots of gorgeous chalking inks. Let's get started!

First select your "main" color chalking ink. Here I am using Caribbean Blue as my main color and selecting my coordinating card stock.

Then proceed to stamp your shape in different colors.Make sure you allow time to dry between colors/stamping.  Add your sentiment.

I wanted to add wood shapes, so I simply stained them using the chalking inks. Voila! It's done.

Blue Jeans PowderPuff Chalking Inks

Card Inspiration with Crystal

Happy Tuesday! Crystal here to host the blog, hope you had a great Monday. Today I am showcasing some gorgous violet/purple papers from Quick Quotes.

I used Alton 100 to die cut the happy birthday and used PowderPuff Chalking Ink in Cherry blossom to add the sentiment.

Then I stamped my image on Alton 100, I cut out the people's clothes and glued them on.

The birthday die cuts turned out awesome using Alton 100!
