Swap Card Week #3


We had to use chalks for this card. I was brave and tried a Cuttlebug technique that a friend had told me about. I applied some blue chalk ink directly to the inside of the Cuttlebug folder before running it through my machine. The scary part was when I went to try and clean the ink off the folder, LOL.

I ran a Versamark pad over the embossed part of the image and then colored it with my Stampin Up! chalks.

Unfortunately this next step didn't show up in the scan... To seal it, I sprayed it with some leftover homemade glimmer spray consisting of Pearl colored Perfect Pearls mixed with unscented hairspray. You technically don't have to mix the Perfect Pearls with hairspray to make a glimmer spray- you could just use water... However, if you used water then your mist wouldn't work as a sealer for your chalks, LOL. Anyway, this card is VERY shimmery in real life!
