Crinkled Chalk~ Danni Style

I was actually excited to do this tutorial today....quite a difference from the ACK of the first tutorial I did. LOL! I think I was excited because I {heart} this technique, although I don't do it often it's still a favorite.
I first discovered this technique in a challenge for a yahoo group and found the original directions on SCS. This is just my "version" of that technique.
For this technique you'll need the following supplies:

• cling wrap/saran wrap
• 3 colors of ink pads--chalk inks work best but you can use any. Make sure the colors work together.
• piece of white cardstock (you can experiment with other colors too, I just like the white)

To begin with you need to either tear or cut the cling wrap into three pieces.

Next, take each piece and wad it up into a loose ball.

Then use one of the "balls" to go directly onto the ink pad of the first color. I usually start with the darker color first. In this case I used VersaMagic chalk ink. You just sort of dab it onto the cling wrap ball.

Next randomly "stamp" the cling ball on the paper. You can add more ink as you need it, it's totally up to you as to the effect you want. Be sure to leave space for the other two colors.

You do this process with the other two colors of ink.

And that's it! You can use this as your background or stamp directly on it....from this point you just finish you card. Fun, fun!!

Here's some examples of this technique on finished cards.

This uses the chalk inks in the example above. I also used the following supplies: Daphne on her floatie bear, nestabilities, bella baubles, Blue Moon Small Heart charm, copics, ribbon

On this card I used Palette inks and it worked wonderfully, so don't be afraid to experiment. I also used the following supplies: Would you be my friend, metallic dew drops, Iced Lavender Shimmerz , grape stickles, copics,

On this last example I myself was experimenting. I have always done this technique with pastel colors so I thought I'd try some browns, neutrals. I love the way it turned out. Some of the darker brown actually looks a bit like leather.This was done with the chalk inks as well. Other supplies used are: Carrie, bella baubles, celery shimmerz, copics,

Thanks for checking out my tutorial! Hope that you'll give this a try!
