Easter Blessings with Rebecca

Good day, everyone! It's Rebecca hosting the blog for you today.

I'm featuring All about PowderPuff Chalk Inks! They really pack a punch in a small package. You can stamp, color and blend with them but did you know you can create beautiful backgrounds, too? Let's take a look at my first PowderPuff Chalk Ink technique...

 

Easter Blessings

 

Tools needed:

• PowderPuff Chalk Inks
• Rubbing Alcohol
• Glossy Card Stock
• Embossing Gun

 

• Choose your colors
• Fill a mister with rubbing alcohol
• Cut a piece of glossy card stock to the size you desire.

• Starting with the lightest color, press pad to glossy card stock in a random fashion.
• Next, apply medium color in the same manner and finally the third color.
• Saturate the glossy card stock with the mister filled with alcohol.
• Use embossing gun to swirl the color.
• Move the gun around the glossy card stock and you can see the colors run together.
• Dry completely, moving gun constantly, so paper will not bubble.



 

• You can add a metallic shine by adding a gold pigment ink.
• Press pad directly on the glossy card stock as you did with the PowderPuff Chalk Ink. 
• Saturate the card stock with the alcohol filled mister.

 

• Use embossing gun to move the color as you did with the PowderPuff Chalk Inks. 

 

• Spray finished piece with Clear sealer in a matte finish. 
• This will keep the pigment ink from rubbing off.

 You can easily transform this technique for use on a scrapbook page.

I used a 3" x 11" strip of glossy card stock and did the above steps using Tropical Punch, Island Orange Chalk Inks and Silver pigment ink.

I usually don't make one photo pages but this picture of my grandson, Andrew with his cousin, Stella made this layout the exception to the rule. This is how I began to create this...



 

I chose a piece of the Spring Showers paper and tore a "v" shape in the top and sides of the paper. Using a hole punch and eyelets. I set eyelets along the sides of the "v" shape.



 

I laced ribbon through the eyelets and taped one set to the back of the paper and the other  "v" shape I tied a bow.

I gathered my embellishments. Most came from fussy cutting the designs out of the paper. I die cut the trellis and flourish  and punched some green flowers from card stock. I took the glossy card stock background paper I created and punched out flowers from it. 

 

I layered my embellishments and added jewels to the center of my flowers. I inked all my fussy cut pieces with chalk ink.



I added pearls to the smaller punch flowers.
