Good morning! When I saw Claire’s challenge over on the Waltzingmouse Makes Blog, I had to join in. Not only was I itching to play with my Waltzingmouse stamps but I was also wanting to make another chalkboard card! WMS are perfect for these kinds of cards with all the flourishes and bold sentiments in so many of their sets. So I opened my binder and box of stamps and started picking out some flourishes I thought kind of looked like a chalk line. I loved the colouring with a white pencil crayon and smudging white ink at the end! So fun! Must be the teacher in me loving the chalkboard! LOL Have a great day!

Gorgeousness. I love the subtle purple mounting of the chalkboard. It is the perfect color to offset the black...and you're right...the stamps are divine for this technique.

I've seen lots of cards with this technique, Maureen, but none as beautiful as this one! It turned out perfect! :)
Looks like you doodled on a blackboard :) Great use of this technique.
