Another fantastic sketch to go by. Thanks! I wanted to try something new today. About three years ago when I started stamping, I bought some chalk enhancer. Never used it, didn't really know how. Last night on StampTV.com they had a video showing how to use it. Very cool, it enhances your pastels and makes them work like water color.........details........
On a white cs panel, I stamped my tree, clear ep it. Took out my chalk enhancer, dipped my brush into it, then on the chalk, then on the image on the paper. Goes pretty smoothly.
For the hills, I did the reverse. First I sponged the hills with the chalk, then took the brush dipped in enhancer and painted over the chalked hills. I think I like the first way better.
Sponged the clouds using ink. Plus I sponged the edges of this pane before cutting into thirds, layering it on a black cs panel, which I then put on a white card sponged pixie pink.
Stamped the little hedgie, bird, butterfly and bee. Colored with the enhancer/chalk technique. Cut out. Popped up on the scene.
Well, hope you like my new to me technique. Give it a try........TFL :0)

Cathy this is soooooo cute!!! You always make the most fun scenes!! I haven't pulled my chalks out in years, but I have done that technique. I love the look you created with your chalks! I especially love that cute little birdit carrying the flower. Great sketch card!!
