So I saw this card on Pinterest that I loved and it had the coolest background paper. As I studied it I realized it was a big lace stamp that I didn't have anything like...or did I? I did! Only it wasn't a stamp, it was an embossing folder. To achieve a similar look I inked up the debossed side of the Lovely Lace TIEF and ran it through the Big Shot with a piece of Chalkboard Paper. That paper is so awesome. It's pure paper goodness. I did use the Rose Chalk Ink Pad which in person gives the card an extra "pow" of pizzazz.
The light look of the greeting provides a balance to the visual weight of the background. The image comes from the Build a Bouquet stamp set. It was also stamped with the Rose Chalk ink. There are three different washi tapes on the card. I have become a bit obsessed with washi tape and have a bin full of which I'm not sure which comes from which pack.

ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this!! I just used that embossing folder for the first time and I know what I'll be using it for the next time!
ReplyDeleteOMG! This is the best use of chalk paper I have seen! I never needed the chalk paper, but I might just need it now.
