Hi there!
Hope you are doing well, staying relaxed and enjoying the season. I am trying! Today it is time once again for a new challenge on the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog. The challenge this week is chalk. I have such fun with the chalkboard technique, and that's what I used for my card.
I wanted to use something wintery and festive, so I used the Birch Candles image. I stamped it onto dark gray cardstock with white pigment ink, and then added a few accents with a white colored pencil. I also added some crystal glitter, because everything at the holidays needs to have a little sparkle! In the past, I've only ever used sentiment stamps for the chalkboard technique, but why not a pretty image?
Be sure to stop by and visit the rest of the Design Team:
I hope you'll join us for this week's challenge. If you're in the mood for a little shopping, Serendipity has more than 100 stamps on the 50% Off Wood Mounted Sale. They also have 3 different grab bags – unmounted, Sticky cushion, and Cling Cushion. Each has 10 small stamps. Just search for "grab bag"!
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteHow pretty, Anya! Love the chalkboard treatment using these birch candles. Lovely Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I love the Birch Candle image and it looks fabulous all "chalked up"! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteWow is this ever pretty Anya. Sometimes I see things you make and say - what stamp is that? Why don't I have that. Then I check my stash and see that I do have it and gotta say - am stumped that I never saw it the way you did. You always amaze me - this one is just that... amazing!
