Chalks for Penny's challenges

Wednesday, January 6, 2010

Well, if you couldn't tell by the title, this week's challenge at Penny's challenges is to use chalks on your project.  I have to admit that I had to wipe the dust off my chalks as they have not been used in quite some time.  I didn't do anything fancy with them.  Just a light coloring of the embossed flower portions.

***Supplies***
Other:  Cuttlebug, CTMH chalks and ribbon, MS butterfly punch

 Make sure and check out Penny's challenge blog for the other DT member's creations and then why don't you play with us?  Yeah for hump day! See you later.
