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.

 

Quick Quotes Products Used:

	Caribbean Blue PowderPuff Chalking Inks

Blue Jeans PowderPuff Chalking Inks 

	Peach Tree PowderPuff Chalking Inks

Other products used: Wood Veneers Adhesive  Light Blue Cardstock  Thanks so much for stopping by today! Crystal

Catalina Island Clean N' Simple

Happy Thursday!  Today I am showing you a clean n' simple card featuring Catalina Island Papers.

These tiny bows were made using scraps I had left from one of my Club Q kits.  Currently I am loving the clean n' simple look as the Catalina Island paper become the main feature of this card.

I think this can be done with ANY die. Butterflies, flowers, bows, etc!

The sentiment is stamped with PowderPuff Chalking Ink in Blue Jeans.
