little tangles: back to the blackboard

We're up to challenge 20 over at the little tangles blog:

back to the blackboard

One of my favorite techniques is the look of Chalkboard Art.

There's the textbook version with heat embossing and double stamping or there is the lazy bones version. 

I introduce you to the lazy bones version:

For me, I love the messy look of the technique and quite frankly, don't tell anyone, I don't heat emboss.

I smear white ink {my ink of choice is WPlus9} with a dry baby wipe all over the black panel.  I especially like to use textured black cardstock.

This is actually the first time I've inked up 

Neat & Tangled 

Everyday Circles

I finally picked up some circle dies.  I've been seeing alot of panels being die cut and the use of the negative cut....I'm liking that look.

What better way to make that texty circle pop than to use Hero Arts Neon ink!

Make sure you check out the Little Tangles blog for more inspiration!

You'll love what my teamies have designed!
