Challenge Title: Midnight Gardens
Hostess: berlycece (Kim) Keyword: MAR20VSNQ Date: Saturday March 28 @ 9 pm EST Welcome to our Spring Virtual Stamp Night - we're almost done! Spring has finally arrived officially in the northern hemisphere, though with social distancing in full mode, it hasn't quite felt like it. It may be a while before we plant flowers in the yard (still chilly in Illinois) but my flower stamps are getting a work out this Florapalooza VSN! I usually stamp flowers with a sunny sky, but since my challenge is going live late at night local time, I decided to focus on Midnight Gardens. There are some species of flowers which bloom more at night, and they look lovely! Most that I found are white or very pale pastels. My challenge to you is to create a midnight garden scene using one of the Chalkboard techniques. Stamp on a navy or black card stock (think late night sky) and add color! One technique uses white pigment ink and pastels, the other uses white embossing powder and alcohol based markers. Take your pick!

A few hostesses made multiple samples, so be sure to look at the full gallery. I can't wait to see what you create!

Fun! I'd never tried the chalkboard marker magic technique. It is fun, I learned a lot and will have to try again when there's more time. (As I've noted earlier, the good thing about the time limit, is there's no time for fussing! ;) )

No success with my white ink - the pad was dry and starting to crumble, so I tried using the ink right out of the bottle with a spatula over the solid flower stamps. When dried it resembled cabbage with mold. Switched gears and went with the white EP.
