Here is my card for the Way to Use It challenge - to use chalk ink on a card.
I stamped flowers with chalk ink on vellum CS - tied a ribbon around it, then attached it to a blue card.
I heated the ribbon with my hot gun.
I cut my sentiment square with my spellbinder die and also dry embossed it with the same die using the rubber mat spacer. (first time trying that)
I attached the sentiment and primas with dimensionals to pop them up.
My pink chalk ink was kind of dry so it didn't stamp as boldly as the blue and ochre. I used a celery craft ink for the leaves and dried it with the hot gun.
This is the first time I've stamped with chalk inks on vellum and I like how it looks.
