Hello again Friends..goodness twice in a day!
As promised I'm back with this week's Sunday Stampers challenge project. Sunday Stampers is a weekly challenge set by wonderfully inspirational crafter Hels Sheridan - to check out all the deets click here
This week Hels set the theme of Diamonds, so I as I'm not a particularly 'blingy' crafter, I immediately turned to my Harlequin stamp by Indigo Blu, but what to do? I decided to make a wall hanging and return to the chalkboard technique I used on my 'Tom's Tag' this month.
I actually used the same stamp, again by Indigo Blu...
To begin with I painted the wooden plaque black, then I stamped the diamond pattern around the edges using Versamark ink, coated it with white embossing powder and heat embossed. I then stamped and embossed the main image in the same way. Once I'd finished stamping and embossing, I chalked all over the plaque and wiped off with the palm of my hand, leaving a chalkboard 'dusty' effect.
To finish I die cut flowers from Spellbinders various elements from Carnation Creations and Die-Lights Blooms Four
That's all for today friends, but later today I will be doing the draw for my 70 follower candy winner, so do drop by tomorrow..it could be you (anywhere in the world!)
Love and Hugs,
