This Limited Supplies Challenge was to use limited layers, not more than 3 or 4. The embellishments were to be limited as well.
I CASEd this card from One Happy Stamper whose card can be found here: Poppin' Silhouettes OHS by One Happy Stamper at Splitcoaststampers I used one less layer due to the challenge. I stamped the floral directly onto the base card. I tried to do the actual Poppin' Pastels technique using Versamark, but that didn't work for me. I couldn't see what I was chalking, so I used white craft ink and chalked on that. I still think it's Poppin' Pastels! I'm going to use this for my club workshop next month thanks to One Happy Stamper and her beautiful design! Thanks so much for taking a peek and your comments are always appreciated!!!

Well, I can tell you this much - whatever method worked for you resulted in a gorgeous card - even in the thumbnail!! I was eager to get here to comment - your card really stood out! Beautiful popping pastels, and such a rich red bg - beautiful card!!!

This is fabulous -- I have been thinking to play a bit with chalk myself as I rarely use it -- and it was this exact image I had in mind for a simple project -- your ladies will love it -- wonderful job!!!

This is so pretty! I have never tried chalking over craft ink before, but after seeing your lovely card, I will have to give it a go!! Thanks for sharing
