Big Flower

When I was in St Louis last weekend for the Stampin' Up! Regionals, Donna Griffin had a flower on something like this one.  I came home and made this!  Using the Floral Frames Framelits

# 127012 

I used the First Edition Specialty Paper.  Patterns reminiscent of old encyclopedia pages.  Light weight paper 24 12x12  double sided designs!   4 each of 6 double-sided designs.  Acid-and lignin-free. I did four layers of the flowers.

Chalkboard Technique

Chalk Board Card Stamp Set: Carry On (Page 203) Hostess set, And Flowering Flourishes (Page 121) 

Card Stock: Basic Black, Mellon Mambo, And Basic Gray Ink: White Craft Ink

Accessories: Big Shot, Ovals Collection Framaelit Dies (page 4 Spring Catalog) Embossing buddy, Water Color Pencils (Page 157) Stampin dimensionals,

Technique: Chalk Board, the embossing buddy is used to muddy up the black card stock to look like an erased black board. Pencils are used (white) for doodling. What I have learned is that a true chalkboard technique includes doodling and outlining stamped images. This technique is very addictive!
