Our Claire has started a Monday Morning Take over on
the Waltzingmouse Blog and this week it is a technique challenge - Chalkboard!
So I looked through my WMS stamp sets and thought the
Candy Wagon would be a good set to use on my card. It has lots of sentiments to use around the wonderful candy wagon stamp!
Design note: each time I stamped an image I poured the white embossing powder on it, then tapped it off - so I could see where I had stamped - when I had the panel filled - I embossed it all with my hot gun. After embossing - I scribble colored some of the areas with a Carmine Red
Prismacolor Watercolor pencil.
I also drew lines around the edges and between the images with a white pencil. I added sparkly blue brads to the wheel spokes and sponged around the card with
Fresh Snow ink.
To finish it off - I die cut a
scallop edge in white and adhered it to the bottom of the chalkboard to mimic the awning on the candy wagon!
So - let's see what stamps you'll use for a Chalkboard card! Link it up over on the Waltzingmouse blog so we all can see! A random pick of entries will win a gift card to the WMS shop! Check out all the details and link your card
here - you have until Monday 1/28!

Hi Julia
WOW, what a wonderful card in this chalkboard technique! The stamps you used look great in this technique and I like that you also used colour on some elements. And the blue brads on the wheels are just a perfect addition.
Kind regards
Carola
So very fun, Julia. I really love your pencil scribbles over some of the words...so very creative.
Sweet Chalkboard Card!
