Chalk Resist with Textured Notes Stamp Set🎨✨

This week’s card class was all about texture, color, and a fun technique you’ll want to try right away—the chalk resist technique using Stampin’ Up!’s Soft Pastels Assortment and VersaMark Ink.

I paired the technique with the Textured Notes Stamps & Dies to create a card that’s bold, bright, and full of layered detail.

🌟 Featured Colors

Blueberry Bushel
Coastal Cabana
Granny Apple Green

Together, these colors created such a vibrant, playful background—perfect for summer crafting or sending a cheerful “hello.”

🖌️ The Chalk Resist Technique

Here’s how it works:

Stamp your image in VersaMark Ink on cardstock.
Apply the Soft Pastels Chalks directly over the stamped area.
Wipe away excess chalk powder with a tissue to blend
Watch as your stamped image appears like magic, with beautiful chalky texture and soft blended color.

I finished the design with a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels gave the card just the right amount of sparkle!
