I made this for Ky's super-fun Faux Tile MixAbility challenge. I used the technique as shown in her first set of photos, but because I wanted quite fine "grout" lines, I used quilters tape which is narrow and low-tack.
I put the tape over some white card, and then pressed Versamark over the whole thing. With a knife I scraped two colours of green chalk pastels over the bottom, and smudged them in with my fingers. For the top I used two yellows, a blue and a grey. Then I stamped Gorgeous Grunge in red to add some wildflowers to my meadow . I sprayed it with fixative, so that the chalk wouldn't end up smudging onto my clean white lines.
Removed the tape, trimmed to size and layered it on the base card. Stamped the sentiment and added the popped-up sheep.
Time to get back to the kitchen, but after a week when I had practically zero stamping time I was so happy to get inky (or at least chalky) this morning.

My very first thought was how delicately the meadow and sky were. Then I read you used chalk - you get a gold star! I do love little lambs, and they are a perfect match with the background. I'm glad you could have some fun with my challenge!

Sabrina, yet another totally wonderful and fun card. This bg is so cool (love the way you adapted the technique to work with your media)! Sweet little sheep and sentiment too. I am so looking forward to trying this but it SCARES me! LOL. Hugz!
