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.
