July Technique Class - Chalkboard

Chalkboard Technique

 

Combine a mixture of graphic and text stamp images. Use the embossing buddy to avoid stray embossing powder.  Stamp images wih Versamark Ink, emboss with white embossing powder, heat.  Sponge white craft ink on in random places to create an erased board look.
