Faux etching with Chalk Couture really couldn’t be any easier! If you’re anything like me, you might find etching with etching cream a little bit intimidating. Faux etching with Chalk Couture is really just chalking with shimmer frost chalk paste! This technique gives you the look of etching without etching cream or the permanence of etching! Using shimmer frost paste to get the look of etching allows you to clean it off with water and use a different design any time you like!
