{Stamping by the Sea}

Got Chalk? This is a product I really don't use often enough. Stampin' Up! has the best quality chalk on the market in my opionion. It is very soft and works very well to color images. You can even use a blender pen with chalk to create a nice watercolored image. For this card, I used Tempting Turquoise , Basic Black, and Whisper White cardstock. I stamped my doodles in Black and punched a few holes along the flourishes. I then took my Tempting Turquoise chalk and ran it along the flourishes. It really gives it a soft effect. I likey! To give a little spice, I used my new spiral punch on the top of the basic black cardstock. LOVE LOVE LOVE this punch! I am getting ready to start a project using this on a spiral notebook. Lastly on this card, I used my Amazing to Zany word set (another must have) and added the sentiment. I could of added much more detail, but really was looking for a simplistic card. I have to tell myself, simple is a good thing!!

Now, back to organizing the house. It is a tad windy outside today. Just another reason to stay inside and be WARM!
