Over at
A Passion for Papertrey, the lovely and talented ladies have a new challenge featuring the classic combination of black and white. I decided to finally try the chalkboard technique and have some fun with it. I followed
Betsy Veldman's tutorial for a Papertrey Make it Monday which was very helpful. I kept it simpler with less blending for the look I wanted.
I stamped a Natural Beauties flower and then Wonderful Words' sentiments with
Versamark and then embossed with
Zing white embossing powder. Next I stamped the flowers and sentiments over top and slightly off with
Colorbox Frost White Ink.
I took a wet baby wipe with some
Frost White Ink and swiped it around the edges. I had originally tried blending with my fingers but it looked horrible so went with this instead.
I added a Recollections black sparkly embellishment to add a little bling and mounted the card front to a white shimmer piece of cardstock.
This technique was a lot of fun and I will be trying it again soon! I made
one more card while my supplies were out so make sure to take a look at it too. :)

Hi Cara - love your take on the challenge. I had a go at this technique myself but my results weren't half as good as yours!!
Thanks for joining us at A Passion For Papertrey. xxx
Very pretty, Cara. I'm having fun with this technique myself. My card for this challenge is a variation on the chalkboard technique. I love the drama of a black background! Your card is a beautiful way to express the challenge.
