Amazing Chalkboard

This chalkboard technique is addicting!  On these two cards, I’m fiddling around with colors and the width of the center section.  Hum?  Can’t decide.  But it’s fun to play!

card stock – Basic Black, Basic Gray, Brights Paper Pack, Melon Mambo
Ink – Veramark, White Craft
Etc – white embossing powder, Apothecary Art framelit, Brights brad, Scallop edge punch, 2 1/2 circle punch

More Celebrating

Today is my son’s birthday and I thought I’d try the “chalkboard” technique on a card for him.  It’s very fun (kind of addicting!) and this is the finished card.  Now I can’t wait to try it again and do some different things!  This is a 6 x 6 card.  The images on the front were stamped in Versamark, heat embossed in white and then smudged around the edges and over the image with white craft ink.  Finally I drew a box around the images with a white gel pen.  Done over, I think I’d leave the little swirly thing off the bottom left side – but it’s a start.

Masculine Birthday

We got a dusting of snow last night.  Just a touch.  Hugs, Fran
