The chalkboard technique...I love it! When I saw the color combo over at Create with Connie and Mary this week, I thought it would be great to showcase this technique. Then The Paper Players came out with their weekly challenge and guess what? It's the chalkboard technique!
The chalkboard technique is super simple and looks sooooo cool! I think it offers a lot of bang for your buck, so to speak!
I started by pulling out some of my new supplies from Occasions Catalog. This Another Great Year set has some great birthday images. I also used Petite Petals, as well as the coordinating punch. I stamped the flower three times in Strawberry Slush and twice in Bermuda Bay and punched them all out. I cut the Bermuda Bay flowers apart and turned them into leaves. Once I had the flowers arranged on the corner of my card, I tucked the leaves in under them. I sort of bent the petals of the flowers up to give them more dimension.
Lastly, I tied some bakers twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory pack that will be available in the Sale-A-Bration catalog.
