This is a beautiful card. I love the colors. Would you be able to tell me where did you find the basket corner punch? I haven't been able to locate one for myself. Again, great job on the card. I now have to buy the color box petal point chalk pads - like I really needed an excuse

Hi,
Thank you, I'm glad you like the card, green is my favorite color. I really like the punch too, I got it at a store near me in Northern VA called Scrapbooks Plus, I don't know if they are a chain store. It is made my EK Success, & is called a Corner Adorner I know "AddictedToRubberStamps.com" carries Ek you may find it there, or another scrapbook store maybe
I was able to find the basket weave punch online at www.scrappin deals.com I was wondering...would you share your color scheme with me? I am going to order the petal point chalk pads. However, when I am ready to sit down and actually do the crinkled chalks technique, I would like to try and "copy" the color combinations that you have used - if that is okay with you Also, which green did you use for the paper? Thanks for being so helpful.

Hi again,
The color of the green solid cardstock is SU's Old Olive, the Colorbox chalks I used are from a set I already had called Autumn pastels and I used olive pastel, dark moss & deep green, going from light to dark, but I think any nice soft greens would work. SU colors that would be similar I think would be Old Olive, Sage Shadow & Forest Foliage (or Glrious Green maybe). Hope this helps, can't wait to see your cards
Its such a fun technique I put two more cards up in the Crinkled Chalk Gallery.
Bye for now, Mary
