Happy Cyber Monday! Today vow NOT to visit online retailers and make Christmas cards instead! You will save yourself some money PLUS get a jump on all of your card making! ;-)
I'm popping in today to share a fun card I made mimicking fun chalkboard art I found on Pinterest. The goal... to stamp miscellaneous images on black card stock and make it look like a chalkboard. ***not as easy as it may sound... lol***
Here's my finished product...
I cut a panel from plain black card stock (with ZERO texture) and used my X-Static (which helps with stray embossing powder) before stamping the first sentiment (Faith) with Versamark. I added embossing powder, taking care to shake off the excess and return it to the container. At this point, I DID NOT heat emboss. Next, I stamped the Fleur de Lis image with my watermark ink and added embossing powder. I then removed all the excess by shaking the panel over a plain piece of paper. Finally, I added the last scripture with watermark ink and added embossing powder. After shaking off the excess, I added heat to the entire project. I then stamped each sentiment/image with Brilliance Moonlight White ink. You want to stamp slightly off center to add a bit of shadow. I then used a white colored pencil and created lines around the edge and slightly inked everything else with the white ink. Take care, a little goes a long way! You just want it to resemble chalk dust. A few die cut holly leaves and rhinestone berries finish it off! Definitely a keeper! Thanks for stopping by! Until next time... blessings...
