Just a little something with IBS

 My latest love is this Chalkboard paint and direct stamping over the chalkboard paint.

The best results are  when you paint the bare wooden piece and then stamp with a clear embossing ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder. This was the way this stamped gift bag was made:  painted wooded bag from kids  craft store, chalkboard cheap paint,  clear ink and  a lot of work. I  stamped  all sides and then added some pearls as my flower centers. The stamp set used was this new May release one and then I added the sentiment using IBS new die set too.

You can also color the stamped images if you wish; I like this " bare chalkboard" effect more.
