I wish the white inking could have been a little more dramatic, but...it's fine. It's interesting how every little step of this technique really brings it to life. I used images from All My Heart on this one, and the florals are from Pink Paislee's Spring Jubilee set. And, once again, I pulled papers from CP's Fourteen collection...
...and I'm happy with it! It's been so long since I've participated in a challenge of any sort...almost forgot how much fun it was. Thank you so much for your sweet comments on the last card...I really appreciate it! And thanks for coming back today!
Geri
Oh, this is so gorgeous! I love how you added the patterned paper and ribbon!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!! You're making me wish I had more time this weekend...

ReplyDeleteOoooooh this is PRETTY Geri! I just bought some of that sweet gingham ribbon at Hobby Lobby, love your bow! The bit of blue peeking out at the top is lovely and your chalkboard looks fantastic! I hope to try this technique soon. Mass this evening followed by the kids coming for dinner.

ReplyDeleteSoooo pretty Geri! I have to try this chalkboard technique!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card...great job!! :0)
ReplyDeleteLove this! That ribbon is amazing and your stamping just looks so awesome. I always have trouble with white ink pads so rarely do any stamping in white so I can understand your frustration. It looks perfect though. Hugs to you my friend!

Ok miss Geri.....this is utterly fantastic!!! Beautiful interpretation of this technique (mine does not hold a candle to your card here)! The gingham was absolutely the best idea ever!! Just love everything here.....the soft shadows, the stitching, the bow, and I could go on and on!!! Have a great weekend my friend!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely divine, Geri! Gosh, I just adore the color combo and that fabulous, gingham bow! But I think that it's the teacher in me just loving this chalkboard trend, and you've done it up perfectly! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteGeri it has been too long since I've been here and I missed a lot of fab projects made by you. I am in awe of your chalkboard cards; they took my breath away. Wow!
