I love the chalkboard trend right now, and I wanted to include it on this layout. So I used the coordinating Designer Stamps from the darling new Echo Park Paper Teacher’s Pet collection to create a border with a chalkboard look to my layout about my daughter’s school
accomplishments. (You can find the original post, including a full supply list, on the Echo Park Paper blog HERE.)
I created the border using the ruler stamp and some
embossing powder. I stamped with watermark ink on the green chalkboard paper,
and then sprinkled white embossing powder over the image to create a chalkboard
effect.
Tip: use a foam brush to remove excess embossing powder
before using your heat gun.
I created another chalkboard look by stamping the school
days flag on white smooth cardstock with chalkboard green ink. Since the stamp
was designed with a chalkboard texture to it, the image takes on a chalkboard
look with the green ink.
Then I cut out the flag and hot glued a toothpick to the
back of it before adding it to my layout. I finished off my page by adding some
journaling, a die cut title, some stickers, and wood veneer stars.
So, are you a fan of the chalkboard trend? How do you include it in your paper craft projects?
