Hi, there friends! Welcome to my Color Combos with Crystal as we will be creating a gorgeous Clean and Simple card on Kraft using Chalk Ink.

The color combinations for this was from an array of purples inspired by this gorgeous Color Palette photo found on Pinterest.

Super pretty right?! Once I found my color combo, I thought it would be best to stamp with Chalk Ink, as it creates such a clean and bold impression on darker card stock. I am using the Clearsnap Colorbox Chalk Inks. For the stamp set, I am using one of my favorites, OBSESSIVELY GRATEFUL which is absolutely versatile to any occasion.

To begin this card panel, I have my kraft cardstock trimmed to 4.25 x 5.50. Beginning at the top with the hot pink and coming down the line with the other ink colors, slightly overlapping the letters.

I do want to give you a quick tip that Chalk Ink does take a bit longer to dry, so that is why I started at the top since there can be smudges if starting from the bottom, then going up.
The card was embellished with Nuvo Drops in TONIC NUVO TRANSLUCENT PERIWINKLE.
My ideas was not to embellish so much that it took away from the simple stamping.

Of course, I have a made a FULL tutorial video with real-time stamping so you can see how easy and effortless this clean and simple card truly is.
