WMS Technique Challenge..

Hi all, I finally got around to claire's challenge over at Waltzingmouse Makes -  the challenge is a technique called Chalkboard. Hmm... I thunk and thunk as Winnie the Pooh would say, but my brain was resisting.

I went through a few ideas, and pulled out all of my WMS stamp sets, tried out an idea or two before chucking them in the bin. Went to bed. Got up this morning, and tried again, and here's my card, for my boy, because he is amazing!

 I went with this cute little chap, as he really suits the theme - a chalkboard, or as we used to call them when I was a little girl, a blackboard.

I white embossed the little guy from Half Pint heroes - additions, and added the sentiments from the same set - the 'my Boy' is from Half Pint Heroines and this additions set.

I stamped the little stars from Yonder Star, and clear embossed - by accident lol! I picked up the wrong bottle, but I think I prefer them clear and shiny!

Then I had a little think about how I was going to mount him. I decided to stamp a plaid background from Offbeat Backgrounds in Memento Teal Zeal and Rhubarb Stalk.

I added a few shaped buttons, stamped the images again over the embossed images and rubbed a bit of white Brilliance ink over the topper. It makes my eyes go funny! Inside I stamped the sentiment 'And I was so proud of him' with the little teddy in Teal Zeal.

So an interesting technique, but, I think I need more practice!

Thanks for stopping by,
