C is for Chalk ~ ABC's of Stampin' Techniques with Me!


Reminiscing about how we added colour to our card creations when I first got started 22 years ago with Stampin' Up!...we didn't call it Poppin' Pastels back then, it was just a way to have more colours from our palette without buying all the ink pads! 

You can use our chalks to colour with in a few different ways, but my favourite way is with a little Versamark. come check it out! Let's Craft! C is for Chalk 


Join me Live, Thursday Mornings at 10am MT to watch as we work through the Alphabet of Techniques

smiles,

Laurie

Thanks for "Poppin" By today 💗
