Chalkboard

Create a chalkboard look.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Swipe the embossing buddy across your black cardstock to prevent stray embossing powder from sticking to unstamped areas.

   

2. Step 2

   Arrange your stamps in a desired pattern and stamp each in Versamark ink.

   

3. Step 3

   Sprinkle white embossing powder over stamped areas and shake off excess.

   

4. Step 4

   Heat embossing powder with a heat gun to set the powder.

   

5. Step 5

   Add details (such as a border or other doodles) with colored pencils.

   

6. Step 6

   Use a paper towel or sponge to blend white pigment ink in the corners and around sentiments to resemble chalk dust.
   
   Tip:
   Practice this step on a scrap of black card stock first to get your desired depth of color.

   

7. Step 7

   Finish your card using your chalkboard layer.
