Woohoo, I�m your Guest Hostess for this week. I sent this technique to Beth and she asked if I�d like to be the guest hostess for it. So, here I am!
This technique is like poppin� pastels, but you color the background as well. Check it out.
My challenge for you today � Chalk Pouncing. Check out this link for directions by Susan Chong. http://www.lasimppan.com/techchalkpouncing.htm
I experimented with sponges, cotton balls, and tissues. See what you can come up with by using these or other items to bring a texture to your background. Have Fun!

My chalks are also neglected. So they will be overjoyed to be dusted off Thanks for guest hosting.

Love it when the challenges are posted early , now I've got time to think about this at work and get into action in the afternoon.
Thanks for an interesting (and new to me) challenge.
I love the look of chalk. The tutorial is just slightly different. I have not put chalk onto the cardstock before stamping. To prevent smearing, I let the Versamark dry a little while before I added the chalk.
Here is a page I did last June. (I really liked this one) LOVE

I'm right with everyone else - haven't used my pastels in a long time! I love the added element of the pastel background - thanks for finding this technique and passing it on!
I truly thought I would not like this technique - but, I DO! Love how my little dog turned out on this scrapbook page - an added plus, another page done for Pepper! Thanks so much for a fun technique!

I was reluctant to try this out, but after seeing the soft and pretty cards in the gallery, I'll have to see if I can come up with something close to being as nice as everyone else's!!;) Thanks for hosting the challenge!!

This is a neat idea but I don't have any chalks! When I go to 'play' at my friend's (SU demo) I'll suggest it for a stamp camp. Thanks for letting me view all the wonderful variations in the gallery.
Christine,
Welcome to summer vacation. It's a wonderful time of year! This is my 3rd week of it. I could really get used to this kind of life.

Vicki,
I can't wait to see what you come up with. It's not intimidating at all. Try different ways to apply the pastels......experiment, then use it on your image. I had to play a little on scrap paper first. Have fun. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Sue
