Black Magic Technique

Wow!  This was my first time with the Black Magic Technique - super easy and super dramatic!  Each month in stamp club, I try to include at least one technique and this was what we did this month.  It would work on other dark colors, but I just love the bold look of the colors against the black. 

Stamp Whisper White Craft ink on your dark cardstock, heat set it, and then color over the white with colored pencils.  It's that easy.  I have another partial card made with this technique that you will see in the next few weeks too.   I think this is my new favorite technique!

Chalk Grid Line Card

This was one of our stamp club projects this month.  Thanks to Julie Davison for introducing me to the technique.  The Real Red, Rose Red and Pretty in Pink combo were really pretty together so I went with Valentiney colors but used flowers so it could be for other occasions too.  Burnish the Stampin' Pastels onto Whisper White cardstock working from darkest to lightest.  When the cardstock is covered, take a straight edge (I used a ruler) and run the eraser that comes in the Pastels set along the edge.  No need to be even, just straight. 

Supplies:  Eastern Blooms stamp set, Rose Red and Regal Rose ink, Regal Rose, Rose Red and Whisper White cardstock, Sampin' Pastels, Sponge Dauber, Dimensionals
