Making a Scene or Border With Stickers and Chalk
by Laura Williams

Supplies:
* Stickers (of choice)
* Cardstock
* Decorating Chalk and applicator

Using stickers you can create a border or a scene by grouping them together. You can use chalk to highlight portions of the stickers or outline them as I did in the layout below to give a feel of movement.

Start by selecting your cardstock and stickers to match your project. Then choose what color chalk you wish to use and load your applicator.

Leave the backing on your sticker(s) temporarily so that you can move it to see the negative image the chalking will produce. You can use a temporary tape runner, etc. to hold the sticker in place while you chalk around it if you wish.

You can then decide whether to use the negative image on your project or put the sticker permanently in place depending on the feel and look you want for your project.

Here is the completed layout I created with Kite stickers and chalking around them to give the feel of wind movement. I added twine for a tail and bows cut from white cardstock to finish the scene which is also a border for the page.
