A Chalkboard Card: Smile!

Hello!  It's  Marcy here and I have a fun chalkboard card to share with you all today!

Here is my card...

So last month, I tried the chalk technique for the first time.  I have always admired the "Chalk" projects and love the look of them.  I was definitely inspired by what I was seeing on you tube videos and out there in Blog Land and thought I would be brave to try out this technique!  Well after my first chalkboard creation, I just had to make another one.   This time I used the adorable "Boho Anya"!   I stamped her in some white ink and then I took a baby wipe and smudged some white ink around the black card stock to give it that chalkboard look. I don't think it shows too well in my photo but it's a pretty cool effect!  I masked my image and then I added some stamped flowers around her in some pink chalk ink.   The pretty papers which came out of my hoard vault for this card are from a collection called "The Optimist" by Prima.  These papers are so gorgeous and I thought they added some pretty color to the black and white.  To finish it off, I added a pink ribbon from my stash and some random Recollection pearls.

Here is a close up...

Have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by!
