On the Blackboard

 On the Blackboard

stamped used:  Altenew stamp co. Tea for two

This card was done for my local card swap, which we do monthly.  But I'm behind in showing my cards here on my blog.  This was done for the month we did technique as the theme.  Mostly you use black cardstock to represent a blackboard, but I find it fun to change it up and use other color cardstocks for a little different effect. This technique is also called chalkboard technique but whatever you call it ... it is a unique technique. In the above picture you can see I used black, tan, and dark blue cardstocks.

The idea behind this technique is for the image to look as if it has been drawn on a blackboard.  I used black cardstock then stamped the teapot with a clear embossing ink pad, heat emboss it with white embossing powder.  Next smudge on some white pigment ink with a sponge dauber.  I find the sponge dauber works better than blending brushes for this technique.  Then just embellish however you like to finish the card. 

You can see more on this post and if you type blackboard or chalkboard in search bar you can see even more on this technique.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back soon.

You have to check out this stamp set....great grandfather clock, chair and more.

Blue card using some pattern paper cut into flag/banner, die cut chair with Nestabilities. Added a touch of color with my prisma pencils to finish it off.  

Second card I did the blackboard technique...my new favorite technique and you are not seeing double.  I overstamped for that chalk effect.

Enjoy the rest of the hop and don't forget to comment for a chance to win this or one of the other new releases.
