With only a few hours to go before the entry closes, I want to share this tag I made for Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2013 for the month November. During Creative Chemistry 102 I wasn't able to try it because I didn't have the Frosted Crystal Embossing Powder. But luckily I managed to get my hands on it. But I also needed regular blackboard chalk. I work at a university of applied science, but in these advanced times they don't use chalk and blackboards any more. But I also managed to get some good old chalk.
What a super fun technique the Chalk one is! It's not difficult at all, the only thing you need to be careful with is that you don't overheat the Frosted Crystal. I saw that there were some grains overheated here and there. But as long as it's a few grains you're good to go and it only adds to the effect.
To decorate it a bit more, I used some washi tape and I colored some Modeling Paste with Modern Red and Dash of Red Studio Paint. I used it with the Dot Fade Layering Stencil. Over the dots, I added some exclusive Simon Says Stamp Mini Hearts I cut out and I used the 25 of the Christmas Stacked Words and embossed it with Black Embossing Powder.
Thank you for stopping by! Love to see you next time!
Hugs,
Sandra

Love your version and so glad I'm not the only late arrival at the TH party! The stencilled red paste makes a huge impact and I love the washi tape too. Jenny x

That is such a cool technique, Sannie! It makes the chalkboard effect look more realistic than regular chalkboard paint. Well done!!
