Demo: chalking die cuts

by MamaK321Apr 6, 2004
<FONT face=arial><FONT face=arial><P><FONT face=arial>Here are the supplies. Of cource you'll need chalk. There are a few different choices, from smaller pallettes to a large one.(Craf-T shown) Another item I like to use is watercolor pencils, found in the art section of your local craft store. You'll also need your choice of an applicator. Q-tips, cotton balls, and make-up sponges are among the most common, along with the aligator clip, shown in the first image. You use little puff balls with the aligator clip, by simply grasping the ball with the pinchers on the end. These puffs can be found here at SG.&nbsp; </FONT></P><P><FONT face=arial>&nbsp;<A href="www.stickersgalore.com/php/sitem.php; target=Body><IMG alt="Click to view larger image" src="www.stickersgalore.com/froogle/7/72-60065t.jpg"; border=1></A>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <A href="www.creativexpress.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv src="www.creativexpress.com/Merchant2/images/pens/33-0007T.jpg"; border=0></A></FONT></P><P><FONT face=arial><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt;&gt;not found at SG but a good example of an aligator clip</FONT> </FONT></P><P><FONT face=arial><BR>The next two images are die cuts that I have chalked.&nbsp;&nbsp;I show the before and after shots of chalking. You can choose to accent only certain parts of a die cut; such as the sun, where I only chalked one side of each of the rays, or the leaves, where I chalked around the edges and down the center, or you can also choose to chalk the entire piece; as I did with the ice cream cone and the word Beach. <BR><BR>Chalking adds depth to your die cuts by simply shading different areas, making what look like shadows or accenting certain features.<BR><BR></P></FONT></FONT></FONT>

Way cool! Those leaves remind me of my chalked palm tree paper pieced shakers I made for one of the beach swaps.
