[Ruth Ann Landry]

nope, Holly!

I've done it but never dried my ink first. It's so pretty and soft. Does the drying process make the colors softer? I'll have to pull out some supplies tonight (IOW - unpack them) and try it both ways. Thanks for the reminder!

enabler!! now i just gotta have some chalks! they are all wonderful but, I think my favorite is the lavender ( purple is my fave color )

[bethrich]

That's gorgeous, Ruth Ann. I'll have to try that one. I use my chalks quite a bit, but never tried them over VersaMark.

So cute Christy!

So do we wet our chalks and paint with our fingers? I have lots of chalks and have only played with them a little.

[Ruth Ann Landry]

do NOT wet chalk!! I paint with my fingers just because that's me...you can pick up chalk with a small brush and use that. I think I just like to get my hands all dirty!

Nice job, christy!

Here are a couple more I did last night....I put samples of things in my art journal so I remember how I did things and so I don't forget to keep using those techniques.....the script and flowers are the same as yesterday, but with some different colors...sorry for the glare, I used glossy matte spray finish to "fix" the image.

very soft and pretty...you can use a q-tip to apply....or if you want to fill in areas use your versamark pen too...same can be done with mica powders aka perfect pearls etc.

Thanks Ruth Ann! I didn't think that I should wet my chalks. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something. I'm going to try this one tonight!

[troublesmom]

These are so cool looking. I will for sure try it later.

here is a card I just did up.
I ran the light purple through the cuttlebug embossing folder-ran the versamark over the raised words & colored with 2 colors of chalk.
stamped the flower on vellum and colored with chalk, tore it out and inked the edges.

Thanks Ruth Ann for reminding me of this, it's fun.
