I wish my scanner was better, but the yellow you see here is really gable green chalk. I use glossy white card stock and ran it thru the emobossing folder, elegant bouquet. I used Pixie Pink textured card stock to layer my embossed piece on. I couldn't figure out how to get the chalk to stick to the glossy cardstock, so I used my versamark ink on a dauber and then used another dauber for each color of chalk. You will have to just believe me that it is much prettier in real life!
