Chalkboard Technique

[marciad]

Saw this done in the SAB gallery. Where can I find how to do it?

Thanks so much. I just ordered the Delight in Life set from the SAB and there are two-step flowers. I will definitely try this with the new set of pastel colored chalks I got a few weeks ago.:cool:

The pics on the links looked great, and I got all excited to ry this myself, but the instuctions arent really clear to me. My main question is "how do you work to apply chalk to wet craft paint and not make a mess"?

I really hope to get this answered, since the outcome is stunning!

thanks,
Valerie

"chalk" as in pastel chalks - use a sponge dauber and pounce on the chalks

I used Q-tips when I did mine. You really need quite a bit of chalk and you can always use the little eraser thingy if you get too carried away. HTH!

Oh, and it helps to seal it with a matte acrylic spray sealer (or hair spray) so the chalk doesn't smudge.
