{3.11.2013} let the good times roll

Check out FUN, new SPARKS challenge from Paper Smooches.

week 2

Rockin’ the chalkboard effect this week.  Betsy Veldman has a great chalkboard tutorial that you should most definitely check out.  It is quite an easy technique, but just be cautious when adding the white ink with a tissue.  Blot it at least once so you get a nice shade effect instead of a big white dot.  I opted not to do a shadow with white ink, instead I used my white pencil to create the shadow lines.

There are more cards to see from the SPARKS design team.
Hope you will visit them too.
