Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome for
Sweet Stamps monthly technical challenge and this time we challenge you to try
CHALKBOARD TECHNIQUE.
There are a lot of possible ways to make this chalkboard look on the web; I picked the heat embossing technique as I love to use my embossing powders.
So I made a tag this time, using Kaisercraft wooden tag as my base.
I used black cardstock to stamp with white pigmented ink and the most gorgeous
Queen's Ann Wildflowers stamp and then heat embossed the stamped image with
Fine Detail White EP. (YES, white ink and white powder is the best combination for this technique). Then I " messed around" with my white inked fingers over the cardstock for the mute slight white look.
As a next step I used Pearl Ex pigments in a few pastel colors and added them over the stamped embossed flowers.
Some Tim Holtz word stickers made my statement and I added a few pearls over the flowers for some dimension.
A few ribbon and a pearl pin were the final touch of this tag.
And now it's your turn: play with our challenge and you can win some lovely goodies!
Great tag Irit...Love the added pearls, to finish off your gorgeous creation.
