Hi all! It's Trend Week over at Just Us Girls, and Chris chose the chalkboard effect. I've never tried this technique so it was a fun one for me!
My board looks very chalky (like my real boards in my classroom!), but it doesn't look this white in person. I watched a Papertrey Ink Make It Monday video on this technique. Betsy Veldman did it and I took my inspiration from her card. I stamped all the images in Versamark and embossed them in white powder. Then I smudged the black cardstock with some white pigment ink. Like Betsy did, I used a white pencil and drew it frame around it. Then I inked up each of the images in white and stamped them over the embossed images offset a bit. The lace was added to the top. This whole panel was popped up on dimensionals.
I used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches as the inspiration for the layout of my card.
You can see more inspiration from our DT and November Guest on these blogs.
