DT Card for SS Monthly Technique Challenge Chalkboard Technique

Just a reminder that this challenge lasts until June 14th!!

Hi to all my dear friends!

Well it is time for my monthly DT project for Sweet Stamps Monthly Technique Challenge!

The monthly challenge at SweetStamps Challenges is focused on techniques and will run from the 15th of the current month to the 14 of the next month.

You have a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to spend on lovely nice goodies at the SweetStamps.com

You get an extra chance to win when you use a SweetStamps image on your creation.

**All of these techniques and more can be found on the TUTORIALS page of our website**  

The Technique Challenge this Month 15 June ending 14 July is Chalkboard Technique!

Well here is my take on it:




I used plain white card stock for my main card and the size is A5
For my image image just Matt black card stock


The stamp I used a lovely corner stamp from SweetStamps
and this is a very clever stamp 
You can use it as a corner or make a frame with it.
I embossed my stamped image and used the lovely Fine Detail EP White Embossing Powder from 


To create the Chalkboard Technique I used my dust buddy
I wrote with a white pastel pencil on the chalk board!


Hope to see you across at Sweet Stamps Monthly Technique Challenge to join in with the fun!!! 

Thank you again for taking the time out of your busy lives to visit my blog!
I would love comments and
