Last week I stopped in at Tuesday Morning and found a ton of super awesome crafty things for $1.99 or less, including the Grand Bazaar paper pad from BasicGrey. I loved the bohemian feel and bold colors, and picked out this pattern as my favorite. After I cut it down to card size, I had a light bulb idea to make a chalkboard panel to go with it using the Beautiful Things set.
I started by embossing the beautiful soul sentiment in white, then offsetting with a bit of white mix'd media ink for that smudgy chalkboard look. Next I white embossed the flowers around the corners, also embossing two more on a scratch piece of basic black. I pulled out some Prima watercolor pencils to add a bit of color to each flower, wiping with a baby wipe to make the color react. I just love the effect! Next I scraped the white ink pad lightly over the panel to give an eraser look and distressed the edges. The flowers and leaves are cut with the coordinating Beautiful Flowers Die Set and then layered together on dimensionals. A doily and some ribbon finish things off.
