drunken chalks

[stmpndoc]

Hi,

For anyone that has tried this technique, how do you prevent having "triangles of color" on your glossy paper? I tried it last night & am not pleased with it. Please help me................

Thanks,

Hi Jacque,

some of the colors run better than others I think. You will always still see some of that triangle.

Maybe add some more with a different color so that they overlap more.

I am not sure how this is done and where to find the directions. Can someone help me. Thanks, Beverlee

Hi Beverlee,

Check the top bar of the site (yellow). In there you will find several links. Click on the resource one.
Scroll down until you see Drunken chalks. Click on that to find a step by step tutorial.

Hugs and smiles.

I just tried this technique for the first time...thanks for sharing Beate. A little trick I tried to eliminate the triangles was to take the color from the pads with a sponge (got a huge one at the $$$$ store, and cut it into chunks) and apply to the cardstock. Now, I'm going to figure out whether you stamp first or apply the sealer first.

I use cotton balls to take color off of the chalk ink pads. Sponges probably work as well. Unless I want a very rigid look I don't use a pad directly on the paper. It's all preference and experimentation. The examples in my gallery are using the cottonball application.

Thank you for your help. I never knew about the resources portion of this site. It was very helpful.
