Carrie's Cards from Canal Street Class December 12

This card was made with the chalk board technique.  Everyone did very well with it, even though there were many steps.  The snowman and snowflakes were stamped with white craft ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.  We drew a line around the border with a white pencil and then smeared some white craft ink with a cloth to give it an erased chalk board look.  The good thing about this technique is that it is very forgiving.  If your new to embossing you should give it a try! 
The second card was also a new technique for everyone.  We applied the background color with painter's tape.  Using a long piece of that blue painter's tape,  place the tape on top the ink pad, rub lightly then pick up and apply to the paper.  Again rub lightly on top the tape and remove.  Everyone's will look a little different.  We used daffodil delight, gumball green and soft suede inks.  The moose was then stamped over the background with Black Staz On ink.
