Chalkboard Technique
Fun Chalking technique! You just cut a piece of Basic Black Cardstock, heat emboss an image or sentiment with your Versamark & White embossing powder, and then add some Whisper White Craft Ink using the Blending brushes or any sponge you may have at home, but rubbing it around the image to make it look like a chalk board! Here's what my cards ended up like... Chalk board card #1: I got the inspiration for this card from a video created by Debbie Henderson, the layout is the same, except for the decorations. You might want to go watch her video for the part where we cut out the bottom section of the cardbase, because I'm not sure how to explain that in writing! lol Here's the link to her VIDEO fast forwarded to that part, but you can start it from the beginning too. Her cards are beautiful, but I needed a card using punches and not dies. I started with a Soft Suede card base 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 , scored at 5 1/2" , removed the bottom section, which measures 1 x 2 3/4
