Chalking on Pre-Printed Digi Tutorial

Good morning crafty friends,

I am sharing the details on how I made my card for this week’s Digi Desserts Fridaze post.

So let’s get right to it

Here is a view of the front of my card.

Here is the inside of the card.

How To Chalk On Pre-Printed Digi

Start With Your Preprinted Digi. I am using the Bear Angel Teddy Digi from PCW.

I printed it out on Georgia Pacific #110 Cardstock. I used a regular HP Photosmart Inkjet Printer.

Using your blender pen and pastel chalk palette, load some chalk onto your blender pen.

Apply the chalk onto the areas that you desire. I started by using a brown to color the lines and create shadow on the body of the bear.

Remember the blender pen intensifies the color of the chalk. You will need to continue reloading your pen with your chalk as the color fades.

Move on to the next color by simply using a scratch piece of paper and scribbling your blender pen on it runs clear again. Note: your nib will become stained but that won’t affect your coloring as long as you make sure your pen runs clear before going to your next color.

Now to my pompom and applicator to pick up some blue…

Using a quickly cut shape, I created a “mask” and just randomly placed it so that I could use my chalks to shade in and create a sky full of “clouds".

Next I will use my pompom and applicator to pick up a little pink. I added that to his cheeks.

Now back to my blender pen with a little of the light gray.

I am adding that right under the halo for a little bit of shadow.

Here is my digi after I finished Coloring with my chalks. Love the soft shading.

I used my blender pen and blue chalk to add some soft lines to the wings (not shown).

Here is a side view.

One last look at the card front.

I used the following products to complete this project

DCWV Stack 7 (Plaid Paper)	Recollections Bold Basics (Striped Paper)	EK Success Double Crochet Punch
May Arts Blue Polka Dot Ribbon	Cord-Burlap	Layering Daisy Punch
White Opal Liquid Pearls		EK Wave Flourish Punch

 As well as some White, Blue and Kraft Cardstock
and a Misc. Button

Well that about covers it for today. Be sure to come back by tomorrow as I share another detail post and some more special information

A Little Bit Of Detail

The card is made with My Mind's Eye papers.  The white frame was cut an embossed with a Spellbinder die.  The ribbon is from Michaels.  And the little labels are from Studio 112.  The apple is cut from Wrap it up and inked in gold.  

This "football fan" was cut from Wrap It Up.  It was made for a fellow design team member who is a big Florida Gator fan.  

This little card was made as a baby shower invitation.  The little onesie was cut from Wrap It Up.  The papers are from Recollection.  The tan paper was embossed with Divine Swirls embossing folder.

This card was made using the car cut on page 46 of the Wrap It Up Cartridge. I simply cut off the hanging cans and added my own detailing to emulate my son's new car.

Had to include a pic of my birthday boy :-)

Here is my second card. I made this using the wedding bells cut on page 36.

I will have a details post on "how" I made both of these tomorrow.

Well, I think this about covers it. Please head over to Charlotte's blog and leave her a little love!  Come back tomorrow for a details post on a couple of this week's projects as well as my two cards from today. Who doesn't love a "how-to"!

Thank you for sharing your crafty time with us!
