Today, on behalf of Shelly and my fellow Design Team members, I would like to show you a way of chalking, around your image, or on dry embossed cardstock in a really economical way.
Chalks are pretty expensive, and a good range of colours will cost a pretty packet. So I popped off to the bargain store and purchased a set of eye shadows, the powder type, in a selection of really bright, soft pastels, and some lovely metallic colours. It cost under ten dollar for a set of 48 fabulous colours!
This is the picture how-to:
Select your image, and for the purpose of this tutorial, I have used the very pretty image called "1st Birthday" available in the Shelly's Images Store HERE.
Really simple, isn't it! Now there is no need to throw out those eye shadows are are past their 'use-by' date. Transfer them from your vanity area to your craft area, and give them a new lease of life!
Have fun trying out this technique!
PS - There is still time to enter the challenge and stand the chance to win!
Please pop back on Thursday, ... it promises to be "Terrifically Thrilling" ...!
