Peachy Keen Challenge 25:: Chalk It Up!

Happy Monday everyone! Okay so I LOVE challenges for so many different reason but have you checked out this weeks challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps??? Well if you haven't they are having a challenge using chalk! Yes ~ chalk! Well I have NEVER used chalk before to color ~ except for cheeks! So I found this not only challenging  (which I LOVE being challenged) but so fun!

So I decided to use the large flower stamp called Ginger! What an ADORABLE image! So I pulled out my chalk ~ the only colors ever used were the pinks. Thank goodness I had extra chalk applicators ~ why I had them ~ who really knows but so grateful I did! I did start off using all the light colors first then moved in with the darker colors. After I got done with the petals I thought I want it to stand out a little more. So I used my Stampin Up blender pen. You can dab this in the chalk then lightly apply it to your image! I think the blue stands out just a touch better after doing so! I did use my red jelly pen for the mouth and nose! The chalk just didn't show up enough. My leaves I just LOVE! I used 3 different color greens! I don't know who came up with this challenge but this was sooooo fun to do ~ THANK YOU!!!!
