Description:

On white or light cardstock cut from your card front you will chalk the entire piece. Now stamp your image with Versa Mark & reapply the same color of chalk over the entire piece. The Versa Mark will pick up the chalk.
I just learned from @thebragal that the traditional way to do this technique it to first stamp with Versa Mark & then chalk. You can do it either way. It is up to you. I think I will try both ways.

Attach this front to your card. This card is for your partner to use so, please leave it blank inside.

One partner receives one card. Don't forget to also send the envelope for your partner.

My sample is too light so the picture didn't work. I will make another one using darker colors & see if I can post that picture.

Is there a tutorial or video link?

I am sorry but I do not know how to do that. I have always Googled to find video links.

Here's the URL to a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjRyA4S5iF0 It shows the stamp first, chalk after method.

I find that many chalks are pretty light, but if you have pan pastels, you can get a deeper background shade, particularly in the chalk-stamp-chalk again method...
