Happy Monday!
It's time for a Pink Elephant Challenge!
This week's challenge is a Technique:
Chalkboard Technique
Here is my card:
SPIES:
STAMPS: Sentiment (Taylored Expressions); Cross (Inkadinkadoo).
PAPER: Black, lavendar, plum cardstock; DP - Stash.
INK: Moonlight White (Tsukineko)
EXTRAS: Emboss folder (Anna Griffin); Banner punch for crown (Spellbinders); lavender fringe ribbon; purple gems.
I love the chalkboard technique! And there are a couple ways that you can do it depending upon the look you want. Usually I've done it using Versamark ink and white emboss powder. This time I used my Brilliance Moonlight White fast-drying pigment ink. It comes out brighter than regular chalk type ink or plain white ink. The crown is made from a Spellbinder banner die that I cut into a small piece. I first wanted to use a piece of purple velvet material to drape around the cross, but it didn't look right to me. So, I wrapped a bit of the same fringe ribbon used on the bottom around the cross.

Oh my gosh, this is a fabulous design. The chalkboard technique is perfect for this particular stamp, and I love the accessories that you used to embellish it, and the royal purple, too. This was a very well thought out design! Thanks for sharing with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
This is a stunning card ! Beautiful sentiment and colors !
