Hi, friends! It's design team member Walter here on the blog with you. This week I'm sharing my second card for June that I made using the same four stamps for the month: Texture Wet Cement Stamp, Etched Stone Flower Rubber Art Stamp, Fern Art Rubber Stamp, and Sentiment Words Stamp Create Something. For this second card, I was inspired by memories of the chalkboards from grammar school. On really cold days, the teacher would often let us stay inside during recess and one of my favorite things to do was draw on the chalkboard. We'd draw everything from flowers to stick figures, but one of my favorite scenes to draw was a sunset between two mountains. I couldn't recreate that using these four stamps, but I create a chalkboard inspired design.
I used the following in addition to the four stamps mentioned above:
- White A2 card base
- 4" x 5.25" Black card panel
- White Pigment Ink
- Lost Shadow, Hickory Smoke, Victorian Velvet, and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Inks
- Two shades of Pink Acrylic markers
I decided that the sentiment would be placed at the top center of the card panel as it's one like that I really like and wanted centered in this design. I stamped it onto the card panel with white pigment ink and used a heat tool on low to help set the ink.
Next up was the stamp my flower. I used the same stamping technique that I used or the ferns to stamp the flower. Two passes of the stamp with Victorian Velvet Distress Oxide ink followed by a pass with white pigment ink. It created such a pretty flower image!
I used double sided tape to adhere the card panel to the card base and . . . voila . . . the completed card! I love the touch of whimsy that the chalkboard motif adds to the design. It's a very light and cheery design.
