Chalkboard technique

Well I have had a burst of creative energy before our long vacation. I did get all of my Verve sketch challenges done, but was not a lucky winner LOL! There was also a GKD release and she has some fun challenges here. I combined the sketch challenge with Laruen Meader's color challenge found here. I do have the wranglers, but I still haven't figured out how to print them LOL!

I also have been working on some different chalk techniques. My sister-in-law Amy is a new SU demo and she asked me about different ideas for her chalks. I didn't want to do the normal blender pen, so I had to do some digging. As I was doing that, I started talking to my Mom and she said she would like to do a technique class every month again. We used to go to my upline's but she moved away a while ago, so it has been a while. I think I might put together a chalk class for July. Let me know what you think.

Anyway, here is the color combo

Here is the sketch challenge for the GKD June release

Here is my creation.

I used the chalkboard technique. That is where you stamp your solid image on dark cardstock in craft ink and then pounce your chalk applied spounge dauber on the image. It was really quite fun and super easy. I thought I would need more pressure in the pouncing, but it was really a light touch.

I used really rust chalk and dsp color, but dusty durango for the paper and ribbon. It worked out just fine with this dsp. I thought the off white brads accented the dots in the ribbon nicely.

It's a good life!
