Inspring Inkin' Blog Challenge No.18

This is my first Inspiring Inkin' Challenge entry I hope you like it! This weeks challenge was to use the chalkboard technique.  The Inspiring Inkin' blog can be found here



Recipe

Card- Rose Red, Whisper White, Basic Black
Stamps- Circle Circus, Whimsical Words (Sale-A-Bration set)
Ink- Whisper White, Stampin' Pastels (Rose Red,Certainly Celery, Yoyo Yellow, Ballet Blue and Taken With Teal)
Punches- scallop circle and 1 3/8" circle punch
Equipment- Paper trimmer, sponge daubers, dimensional

I made a card base using rose red cardstock, then cut a piece of basic black slightly smaller than the base.  Using whisper white ink and the circle circus stamp set I stamped a mixture of different circles onto the black card then used the sponge daubers to pounce the Stampin' Pastels onto the ink.

To finish it off I used rose red ink and the 'you're too kind' sentiment fro the Sale-A-Bration set Whimsical Words to stamp a sentiment on some whisper white cardstock before puching it out using one of our circle punches. I then punched a scalloped circle from rose red cardstock and attached the sentiment before attaching to the card using a dimensional.

Hope you like it!
