Today I want to share with you the Chalkboard Technique. It's so easy, but looks so striking and pretty!
1) Take a piece of Basic Black Cardstock and pat it repeatedly with your embossing buddy. Tap off the excess powder. At this point your cardstock is already looking like a chalkboard that's just been erased.
4) Once you have everything stamped that you'd like on the "chalkboard", and covered in powder, go ahead and heat emboss it on the "2" or "high" setting on your heat gun. You'll know it's done when it's all shiny and raised.
5) From here you can use a white colored pencil to color over your stamps and then gently "smudge" them, or you can just leave it like it is (I chose to leave mine). Both ways resemble a chalkboard, so it's up to you!
This card is for an amazing friend that will be hearing some great news soon, I hope. When she does, I'll have this card ready to send out just for her.
