JAI 162 Just add a technique you have never tried before

Hello there,
well we have a fun challenge for you at Just Add Ink this week. It's Just add a technique you have never tried before. Now I've been paper crafting for a good 7 years and there are always lots of things I still have on my try one day list. So this is a good time to check your list and then go play!!

 

As you can see I just couldn't resist taking the "chalkboard" technique for a spin. I had stamps sets all over the table mixing and matching and playing with the arrangement till I was happy. It was lots of fun though and very effective. The mix of white embossing, white ink and white (and coloured pencil) adds so much detail and depth. I might have got a bit carried away with some of my doodling though! As my starting point I checked out a great tutorial by Betsy Veldman, you can find it here.

So why don't you join in the challenge this week and have some fun trying out something new! Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT for some awesome inspiration too :) Thanks for visiting,
Kim
