I have tried doing this too but haven't yet perfected my *whooshing* technique! Sometimes I get get spots on my card when I have been too hesitant!

Viv are you spraying the hairspray into the air and 'waffting' the card through the mist? less chance of spotting the card this way.

[nuttycluster]

That's the way I do it Lyn.

i also use hair spray to set my chalks, it just gives it that finishing touch, I have also used on Pastels.

Hairspray technique used here as well.  Works a treat on shimmer chalks.[/color]

I've done that too.  Also, instead of using chalks you can use cheap make up - blushers and eye shadows.  You get lots of nice colours, especially the pearly ones.

I can't remember the last time I actually used my hairspray for my hair !!  Works a treat on chalks like you say but it takes a bit of nerve to wack the spray on when you have spent ages chalking....     LUBI xxx

I tried to use the hair spray but my dogs bark like mad when I use it.

Sheila Oliver was demonstrating at an open day at my local craft shop on Bank Holiday Monday and said that cheap hairspray worked better as a fixer than expensive brands, as the dearer ones contain conditioners and other stuff which can mark your card.
