Am in an experimental mood of late and this card shows two ideas I
tried - one with chalk and the other with a thin foam craft material called
"Foamiran" . . .
Having never tried using white chalk over black cardstock, I gave it a go and really like the misty results. I started applying the chalk with the traditional foam tools made by Sofft but switched to the Life-Changing brushes which made the job easier and faster. For other projects, I do like the Sofft tools for their precision sizes which make shading in small areas a lot easier.
My second experiment involves a thin foam product called "Foamiran" which I used for the die cut flower. I want to see how it holds up when being mailed. I used die inks on the petals and when I used my heat gun to speed up the drying, the petals curved upward and the flower became quite lifelike. The curve also seems permanent. I can't wait to mail this to my friend Carol who will let me know if the curved petals kept their shape or not. Fingers crossed!
