Step 1:
Stamp your image onto white
cardstock or glossy cardstock with
White Daisy Exclusive Ink™ or
Versamark* ink.
You will be able to see a faint
image.
Step 2:
Gently apply soft chalks to the
image using enclosed pixie and
pudgy applicator.  You can also use
eye-shadow applicators,
pom-poms, cotton balls or q-tips.  
The stamped image will pop out as
you chalk.
If you make a mistake you can
touch up with a chalk eraser.
Step 3:
Set the chalk so it won't rub off on
your page protector or card.  Turn
the image face down on a sheet of
plain newsprint paper (like a doodle
pad; not a newspaper).  Firmly rub
all over the back of the image.
You can also set chalk with
hairspray or matte finish spray.  I
prefer the first method since it
keeps the paper acid free.
You can also use chalks to color
open stamp images, add a little
color around an image or highlight
torn edges.  
Learn from my mistakes:
A regular eraser does not work well with chalks.  
Be sure to set your chalked images before putting the page in a page
protector or it will smear.
Don't press hard on the chalk; it will break!
