Lots of submissions to "Less is More" this week have used the Chalkboard technique and I was intrigued by it. I looked at various videos on You Tube and the methods varied considerably from crafter to crafter. What I did here was to stamp the image from Lavinia stamps using SU white craft ink onto black card and then add colour to the still wet ink with SU pastels using a Q tip, wiping off the excess with a cloth. I did the same with the SU sentiment which I mounted on Spellbinder pennant dies adjusting the length to fit the sentiment.
The square panel is in turn mounted on a slightly larger piece of toning card and popped onto dimensionals.
It 's for a couple of challenges that I haven't entered previously.
