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

Good For You

Morning... I had a little time yesterday to do some crafting just for fun so I made a little fun card inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. I had a good route through my stash (I'm still trying to sort things out slowly) and it's really nice to remind yourself what you have... I found this fab wave die which I thought was perfect to use with this stamp!! Although it means the sketch came out a little topsy turvy lol!!. Ok that's enough waffling.. Here is the card ....
