Sympathy Garden

I used an embossing resist technique to create this chalkboard effect. The watercolor brush strokes remind me of the chalk powder left after erasing the board. 

Stamps:

   Woven Heirlooms

Paper:

   Soft Sea Foam A-2

   Garden Impressions DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Whisper White 5 x 3-3/4

Ink:

   Night of Navy

   VersaMark

Technique:

   Embossing Resist

Accessories:

   Embossing Buddy

   Clear Embossing Powder

   Curvy Corner Trio Punch

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, rub the embossing buddy over the Whisper White cardstock.

Stamp your image using VersaMark.

Pour clear embossing powder over the image.

Pour off the excess back into the container.

Heat emboss the image. Let it cool.

Apply ink onto the entire Whisper White piece. I used a watercolor brush with Night of Navy ink.

Rub embossed image with a paper towel to remove ink from embossing.

Use a corner punch for the corners. Attach piece using dimensionals. 

A tutorial for this technique can be found HERE.
