Curly Happy Birthday



 I love this technique and haven't had my chalks (soft pastels) out for ages, so I just had to make a card
...well actually I made two

My first blue card is also for The Paper Players challenge and I've chose the top line across: 
Birds, Blue and Birthday. 
I used the Versamark ink and chalk to do the bird cage, the sentiment and the bird - he wasn't facing the right way so I stamped him on the Mirror Block and then on the card, he came out less defined but still cute.
On my second card with the flower I chalked the card and then stamped the swirls and chalked them in two shades.
Thanks for taking a peek

  2. Lovely card, Robyn. I especially like your color choices on the first and how you've repeated the swirl design in each element. Thank you for sharing with us at The Paper Players!
