Just like the card I posted the other day using the chalkboard technique this card took several tries for me to finally end up with something that I was happy with. I went with a bit more modern look since the card is for the LIM challenge. The chalkboard technique is a pretty fun one to try and I learned that using my finger to swipe on the white ink gave me the best results. I used two PTI sets: Stitches & Swirls and Lovely Layers. I die cut the fishtail flag using my MFT Fishtail Flag Stax dies and then stamped it with the sentiment. In keeping with the modern feel I decided to add clear rhinestone to the center of the button to jazz things up a bit. The button is actually a deep pink, but iin the photo is looking more like red!
Thanks for stopping....
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white and true black; Stamps: PTI; Button: PTI Raspberry Fizz; Inks: Tuxedo Black & VersaMark watermark ink, Brilliance Moonlight white; Embossing Powder: Filigree white; Rhinestone: Want2Scrap

Rosemary, this DARLING chalkboard card caught my eye at the bottom of your most recent post. I HAD to click on it to admire it once again. As the comment I originally left you on this post says, you've used one of my favorite PTI stamp sets SO beautifully. You make me want to try the chalkboard technique, again. :-)
I always...always...feel SO inspired when I visit your blog.
Thanks for ALL the beautiful creations you share with us.
