A fun a simple way to take your design from nice to WOW!  Grab some paint brushes and let's get ready to create a gorgeous design.

Adding colour to your Chalk Couture design is one way to really make it pop.  There are a variety of techniques to accomplish this.
You can use the variety of paste colours on the transfer. The Paste & Peel technique is a great way to get a whole lot of colour on.
You can complete a Hot Mess technique for a whimsical or variegated look. 
One of my most favourite ways to add colour is with the Water Colour painting technique.  This works best with a design that is more of a "colouring book" outline, like these ones below.

How do we complete this beautiful water colour painting technique?
Step 1: Chalk your outline. Decide what you would like your outline colour to be- you can use a different colour for your top layer if desired. 
Paste, Peel, Reveal & maybe squeal!  Set this transfer aside. I prefer to wash it and have it ready to go as we will need to use it again at the end. 
Step 2:  Choose your paste colours.  Add them to a small tray and water them down. 
Step 3: Once your out line layer is dry... use a paint brush, paint between the lines just like a colouring book.
Step 4: Dry your paste.
Step 5:  Replace the beginning design- carefully line up to match your under layer. Then re-chalk your design. You can use the same colour as step 1 or another. Each will provide a different look! Play and see what you prefer.
Step 6:  Stare in admiration at the amazing piece you just created.
