Chalkboard Butterfly

So whilst I've been visiting all the entries for Less Is More I've noticed that the chalkboard technique has been used quite a few times... so I thought I would give it a go....


I'm not sure about the technique but I think that was because the white ink was too juicy and didn't give a crisp image... I'll have to give it another go at some point!!

Inspiration:
Unscripted Sketches: #192

SK 160 US 192

Card Recipe:
Stamps: Stampin Up
Whisper White Craft Pad
White Chalks
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Ribbon: Stampin Up
Butterfly Punch: Stampin Up

Right that's me done for today... See you soon

    I love this your colour combo is spot on for a sympathy card ...but have never heard of the chalkboard technique?? but I'm assuming its using white ink on black card,when I do this it looks more ghostly than chalk !:-) x

    Honestly, I love the effect that you have achieved with the white ink! It gives the card such a soft look, almost like it was colored with pastel crayons. Perfectly placed images - so very, very pretty! Thanks for choosing to play along with our sketch this week at Unscripted Sketches :)
