Chalk Clouds on Black Card

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I used Natural Sponges and CS Chalk Clouds - Enchanted Blossom, Blue Lagoon and Sweet Violet onto Black Card. My Natural Sponges were just pliable - not wet, barely damp. This is important so that the ink in the Chalk Cloud pots isn't diluted. I cut my background out using Sue Wilson's Essential Pierced Rectangles. I edged with Sweet Violet Chalk Cloud using a Smoothie. I used a White Pen to scribble around the edges. I matted onto some bright pink card from my stash and popped onto a Black Card blank.

I stamped one of the images from the Woodware Eyes Stamp Set onto Black Card using Sweet Violet Chalk Cloud, applying the ink with a Smoothie. I cut it out using Sue's Double Pierced Squares and inked around the edges with Sweet Violet Chalk Cloud. I doodled in 2 of the corners with my White Pen. I cut a mat out of my bright pink using the next sized die in Sue's Double Pierced Squares Set B.

I placed my Eye topper onto my background and positioned the flourish on the Every Child Mask just below my topper. I drew through the mask with my White Pen.

I stamped the sentiment from the Woodare Vintage Inspiration Stamp Set onto Black Card using Sweet Violet Chalk Cloud. I cut it out using Sue's Pierced Flags and cut a mat out of bright pink card using the next sized die in the set.

I painted an Arty Hearts Pop-em with CS Black Gesso. Once the Gesso was dry, I edged the heart with Sweet Violet Chalk Cloud. I selected a word from the Every Child Mask and inked through the mask onto the Pop-em with Sweet Violet Chalk Cloud. I added some White Pen to the sentiment panel and the Pop-em.

  6. I rather suspect my iPad is not showing this well as I am finding this one difficult to visualise as I cannot make out that you have used different colours of the Colour Cloud. I do like the overall design though and the striking contrast between black and pink.

    This one is probably much better seen in the flesh, don't think it's show in is beauty on screen.
