A few days ago a shared one of the first projects I created this week with the chalkboard technique. This time I decided to get a bit fancier! 🙂 I received the “I Am” stamp set by attending the July 2012 Annual Stampin’ Up! Convention and just didn’t have a chance to use it yet. I thought it would be a great set to use for the chalkboard technique since that was the theme throughout the convention. I also wanted to design a few cards for my downline as they have just been on a roll so far this quarter!Â
As most of you know, I just love the look of vintage. The Labels framelits are great for achieving that vintage look! I started by embossing my image, in white, on a piece of black cardstock. Once embossed, I cut out the image using one of the labels framelits. The chalkboard look comes from rubbing white craft ink around the image and the outside of the labels framelit (using a sponge dabber). Then, I just embellished the card with paper doilies, ribbon, antique brads and a few flowers. Try it out!
