NancyRuthÂ’s was the hostess for the Stampin'B's challenge this week and she wanted us to use chalks on our card. I stamped the Umbrella Girl from Whiff of Joy stamps on white cardstock and colored her with StampinÂ’ Up!Â’s pastel chalks, using a blender pen. The background is done with Pebbles pearlescent chalks, using a small cotton ball. You probably canÂ’t see it well, but all the rain drops have little globs of Crystal Effects to make them shine. IRL it is much more noticeable. The sentiments are from My Favorite Things. The Rose Red and Not Quite Navy cardstock matting finished it off.

Love your chalked card. That bg truly looks like a damp, dark, dreary day...perfect for the rainfall. Such a sweet sentiment for this image. Love it!
