Remember these? When I discovered the “Candy Conversations” stamp in the 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog, I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do – Chalk Technique!
For this method, you need to ink your stamp with Whisper White Craft Ink, and stamp (usually) on a darker paper.
You will need some kind of chalk “media” – Stampin’ Up has a full palette of our signature colors in chalk, so you can match every one!
Here’s the stamp inked up. Notice I have managed to just ink the stamp along the edge of the stamp pad to keep ink off of the sentiment. You should wipe any boo-boos off before you stamp.
Here is the stamped image on our darkest red card stock, cherry cobbler. The nice thing about the craft ink is that it stays “wet” a little longer, so you have a minute or so to choose your colors and chalk it up.
I chalked a different color 
on each heart for my card, but you could just color one and use your embossing gun to dry the rest of the chalk ink for a single “pop” of color. The inportant tip here is to make sure you have plenty of chalk covering the ink.
The final step is to wipe off the excess chalk with a soft cloth.
Curious about the card yet? The final details tomorrow!
Until next time…Keep Calm and Find Yourself a Rubber Stamp!
