Q: Suzy wrote: "I would love instructions on the chalkboard technique!"
A: Stamp images with white pigment ink on dark cardstock. While the ink is still wet, apply chalk over the image. You can use Q-tips®, sponge daubers, cotton balls or the applicator that was packaged with your chalks. Let the stamped image dry, then blow off excess chalk and seal with matte acrylic sealer.

Keri has a suggestion for Luminous Pearl technique: "Instead of using a palette, I took a foam egg carton and cut it down and then used it as a palette since I didn’t have something like that just laying around. It worked great!"
