BSS MONDAY IDEA - CHALKBOARD TECHNIQUE

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea.

 

Today's idea is called the Chalkboard Technique.

 

You stamp your image(s) on black cardstock and emboss using white embossing powder.

Lastly, you ink around the edges of your completed piece with white ink, to resemble chalk dust.  I used a white frost cat eye ink pad.  Use your finger or a small piece of paper towel to smudge the ink around.

 

 

Sentiment is by Serendipity (145E)

The textured snow dot is an old stamp, but you can get the same result by dotting with a Versafine water mark pen and embossing with white embossing powder.

 

 

 

Here is a view from a distance.  Doesn't it look like a drawing on a chalkboard?
