This is beautiful Nancy but a few details would be great :) What is the chalkboard technique? Using chalks?? It is very colourful but in a soft way. Thanks for sharing x
Thanks for asking Lynn. First, stamp designs on black cardstock using white ink. Then chalk over the ink while it's still damp. Then just wipe up the excess chalk with a Swiffer cloth. I just love the way it looks! They recommend using solid stamps but it seemed to work just as well with the line ones too!
This is a beautiful page. Colorful in a soft way. It reaches out and touches the viewer in a calming fashion. Love this, you've done a wonderful job.
Did you paint the birdhouse? So appropriate to put flowers with stems, butterflies, and other flower garden goodies on the page for the bird house to set in. Can't forget the bird you have flying around.
Thanks for the technique Nancy. It is very effective. It has been a long time since I used my chalks and I have some beautiful pearlescent ones too. Once I have finished scrubbing and polishing the house ready for viewings I might be able to pull out all my craft items again and do something crafty and try this technique. You have certainly used it to good effect
