Did you ever have one of those days when you had too much on your mind and too many things to do to even BEGIN to be creative? That was me yesterday. Then Beate sent me a picture of a card she made for her Be Inspired Challenge and it totally made me smile. I've been wanting to try the Chalkboard Technique Beate wrote for Splitcoast last week, so this seemed the perfect opportunity. I used the Sending Happy Thoughts set and the sentiment from Thankful Blossoms by Verve Visual. I added some lines and dots with my white gel pen. The centers of the flowers are either rhinestone brads or plain rhinestones. It's a very "sparkly" card in real life. Thanks, Beate, for inspiring me and for making me smile! SUPPLIES USED: Stamps- Sending Happy Thoughts (SU), Thankful Blossoms (Verve Visual); Ink- Craft White (SU) Paper- Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi (SU), pink (DCWV); Accessories- Stampin' Pastels, white gel pen, 1" circle punch, ribbon (Darice), rhinestone brads, rhinestones

It is gorgious!!
Wowza!!! LOVE this and will have to try this soon!
wow amazing job love the colors.
was this techinque hard? I hate trying new things and then hating what I made, so I like to hear what other people think about it first. Oh by the way Super Walmart now carries the cuddlekids stuff & the dies are from $3.97 to $6.97 and the most expensive one I saw was the alphabet set for $12. I was so happy to see them yesterday!
I love the different colors on this! How did you keep them from blending and getting muddy? Did you mask as you chalked? Thanks! ~:-)
Beautiful job with the technique!! I love the colors!!
I am happy that you were inspired and had the opportunity to create. What a sensational creation! I love the way the white ink actually looks like chalk. TFS.
GORGEOUS!!! Amazing color combo!
awesome colours!
