Faux Chalkboard Technique

This is the technique being demonstrated on the Technique Tuesday blog and as it is getting very close to the closing date I'm posting a second card for today which I've just made playing around with this technique.The idea is to use white embossing powder onto dark card and with words of course it could look like a chalkboard.  Background is a piece of experimentation with the gelli plate which has been  over-inked with distress inks.  The stamps are by Sam Poole and the 'blackboard' has been cut out using a Sizzix (Stampin' Up) framelits die and the quirky flower was stamped, embossed and cut out with scissors.

    Striking background - I see you have a new toy & have been having a play with that. Love the sentiment - so true.
