They say the third time is a charm, and today I think that is very true. I've got my third attempt at this week's MIM #98: Chalkboard Technique, and I think this is where I will rest. Although it almost broke my heart to smudge white ink around on this card, I am finally happy with the result. I used 8 different stamp sets on this card, a first for me.
Supplies Used (PTI);
Stamps: Say it With Style, Tiny Treats: Birthday, Just the Ticket, Mixed Messages, Birthday Bash Sentiments, Tag-it's, Star Prints, Hero Arts Birthday Messages
Paper: Ocean Tides, White
Ink: Versamark
Other: White Filigree Embossing Powder, Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangles, Twine from my stash
Thanks for Visiting
Joyce it is a charm. I love that you used all those stamp sets, it looks really cool. I know what you mean about smudging the white, a badge for bravery. The baker's twine at the top is such a perfect accent. LOVE!
ReplyDeleteLove it! 8 stamp sets must be a record, wow!
ReplyDeleteI love this!! It looks like many different people went up to a chalkboard in school and wrote out their birthday wishes for a classmate. I am jealous of your lil' inkers die! I have wanted those but they are at the high of my price range, haha.
ReplyDeleteJoyce, this is just perfect! But then I liked the others too. I love that you used the stitched rectangles too and the red bakers twine, a fabulous finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever technique - think you have mastered it Joyce :) x
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! 8 sets?? WOW!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, this is fabulous, Joyce! Great collage of stamps!
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks like you had a blast. 8 sets ...... You are for sure a pro at this now.
ReplyDeleteMy sister in law does this chalkboard thing freehand at home all the time. ( on a large chalkboard) it's so fun to see what she comes up with
Love this card.
ReplyDeleteAll those different images/sentimenst are cute together.
Love the little hint of red with the twine.
I love this!
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of a classroom chalkboard done up by all the classmates for a birthday...
such a fun idea! :)
All three of the chalkboard cards are fabulous! The one with the stars is awesome ('cause I love my stars!) but todays is my favourite. The twine finishes it off perfectly!
