Chalk Couture~First project!!

Enjoy the Little things

Hello friends.  I hope you are all still enjoying your Christmas day.  Today I got to play with My Chalk Couture!! I have been waiting patiently for a quiet time to do it, and this afternoon I finally had some.  

For this project, I used the Chalk Couture White magnetic round Chalkboard as shown below..

The transfer I used was the "Enjoy The Little Things" and the small Squeegee which I cut into 3 pieces.

You also need a pan of water to soak the transfer in after you use it so the chalk paste does not harden on the transfer in the silk screen wording.. and a permanent marker to mark the backing of the transfer so when you put the transfer back on after using, you put it back on the right side.

I wrote the word "Enjoy" on the back of the transfer backing so I would know which pattern it goes to as well.

I then slowly remove the transfer off the backing and lay it down where I want it on the board, and then smooth it out so there are no bubbles and no space where chalk paste can ooze out.

below are the stirrers I bought off amazon to stir the chalk pastes before use..

Remove the cap and inner protective cap and stir your pastes..they should look like a yogurt consistency..

then you use the squeegee to, sort of paint on the paste..smoothing it out and putting the excess back in the jar... when done...slowly peel off the transfer and put in water pan and clean. when all the paste is off, the transfer, use the lysol wipes to wipe off both sides of the transfer, it helps to activate the adhesive. the set aside sticky side up. to finish drying before putting on backing and returning to sleeve.  Right about now, my camera died and so I put it on the charger and decided to change the color fo pastes I used...I used the Brick red and the Mustard instead of the Aquamarine.

Enjoy The Little Things

and this is the finished product!!  I embellished it with the flowers I made with the Susans's Garden Dahlia Dies I got for Christmas from my Son and Daughter in law. and the Pan Pastels and Card stock for Fun Stampers Journey
