Technique Time Tuesday - Faux Chalkboard challenge
I wanted to use the word "chalk" in my sentiment because I was afraid that the customers who buy my cards might not understand that it's suppose to look a little smudgy and chalkboard-ish. For the first time in a long time, I dragged out those teeny tiny letter stamps and just let them be random upper and lower case and wonky, kinda like my handwriting on a chalk board, lol I also reinforced the white lettering with a marker to make sure it showed up well.
Close To My Heart - white embossing powder
Ranger - Distress marker, stickles
VersaMark
Ink it Up! - white
Stampin' Up! - embossing buddy
border stamp - misc
papers from stash

On my blog, Journal of a Lazy Dieter, I am discussing kitchen exercises. I mean what better place to exercise where you are planing on shoving some food into your mouth? Makes you think twice before doing it! Oh, and you don't have to leave a comment but a click on "like" means you are supporting me through my diet. Thanks!

Your card turned out great! I have not tried this technique and have seen it everywhere lately. I love the look (love chalkboards, have one in my stamp room!), but what I like most about your card is it LOOKS like a chalkboard. Some look just look like white embossing to me! Good luck with your dieting! I will read the old posts this weekend, as I am not just a lazy dieter, I just haven't done anything about what I need to do.
totally adorable!!!
have a great weekend
It looks great to me and I love the use of the little letter stamps they make it quirky

I thought it was some kind of chalkboard cardstock or paint or something. Clever.
I support anyone on a diet, but I'm not on facebook, sorry. ;)
