This is my first attempt at the popular chalkboard technique . I chose a stamp that would make the whole process very easy as everything I needed was already in this complementary stamp from Papertrey Ink.”Thank You”. I also usedRosie Posie Stamp SetPapertrey Ink - Rosie Posie Die Collection (set of 3),andPapertrey Ink - Framed Out #11 Die. I also used Spellbinders squares.Yes, I used the same paper from yesterdays project. I just like it so much, the other side has flowers on it.
You can see it Here. The cardstock is PTI Smoky Shadow.
Hope you enjoy your day!
Beautiful card Marybeth!! I have this thank you stamp and never used it. You made it look so beautiful in "chalk". I've got to try this technique with this stamp. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteMarybeth, just had to tell you, am using the same stamp for a set of thank you cards! Goes so quickly when you have it all in one stamp! Love how you embellished. So sweet! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMarybeth this turned out so lovely! I like the heart and flower embellishments and the sentiment that you used for the chalkboard technique! Fabulous dear!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card. You were so smart to pick that stamp--it works perfectly, and it has everything you need. I love your extra touch with the heart and the rose.
ReplyDeleteYou pick THE perfect stamp for this Marybeth! I haven't tried my hand at this yet, but you've inspired me to, pretty card!!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply lovely Marybeth. The embellishments are a nice finishing touch...
ReplyDeleteWell you have really nailed the chalkboard technique Marybeth. I love what you did here. Hope your husband is feeling better now and that you both have a great 2013!
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect stamp for this technique! I especially like the pink check with the chalkbord. Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteAnd I even thought how perfect this set is for this technique...
oohhh...
wouldn't it be incredible if the anniversary set this year was a sentiment set done in typography like this...
would make this fabulous technique so easy! :)
Wow! I love the gingham background against the chalkboard, it works so well! Your chalkboard looks very realistic! :-)

Marybeth, this turned out lovely! Your embellishments off the side are perfect and so is that gingham paper!
ReplyDeleteso pretty!! i love working with this technique!!
ReplyDeletePerfect! Marybeth you put me to shame! I started on this chalkboard effect and gave up...put up my white flag to surrender and called it a night. I love that stamp too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Love how you only used the technique for the sentiment. Love the other colorful elements. I need to try this technique again.
ReplyDeleteThat stamp is perfect for this technique and I love the way it looks with the soft gingham pink! Adore the heart & posie accents!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card - great stamp for the chalkboard technique & I love all your embellishments!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!! You did a great job on this faux chalk technique!
ReplyDeleteLove how bold and beautiful this card is. :D I'm so going to have to try this technique again with the Thanks stamp, it's just perfect for it! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this Marybeth!!! That stamp was PERFECT for this technique! Forgot about it until I saw yours! Thanks so much for your sweet visit to my blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your welcome and comment tonight! Great to hear from you. I love your take on this challenge. I made three cards using the technique but couldn't quite bring myself to post them. I think the heart and Rosie Posie flower are perfect embellishments. Happy new year. Hope to see you again soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but I think something funny happened to my comment. At any rate, I really like your take on Betsy's challenge. Especially your inclusion of the heart and flower. It all frames the chalkboard image so perfectly. Happy new year. I look forward to staying in touch a little better. Thanks for your sweet visit to my blog tonight.
