One of the most popular trends today is to use a chalkboard effect. There are a number of different ways to achieve this. In the past, I have always used pastels as my medium. Today I have used White EP and Whisper White Craft Ink to achieve the look.

Firstly, I stamped the images from Field Flowers and the sentiment from Sassy Salutations with Versamark and then heat embossed with White EP. Using a sponge dauber, I randomly put Whisper White Craft Ink all over the Basic Black to give a partly cleaned blackboard look. To complete the picture, I used a White Gel Pen and drew a frame around the page. Lastly, I layered the black onto Rich Razzleberry.

I love it.
