Chalkboard technique

I have seen so many beautiful cards with the chalkboard technique over the past few months, that I had to give it a try myself. With the help of this great tutorial by Nichol Magouirk, I made my very first chalkboard card. I love the effect! And it is really  easy as well.

This one is a very simple one with only one stamp, but I'm sure I will make a few more. I add only one flower as the card don't ask for more.

So, are you going to give it a try? Looking forward to seeing your chalkboard cards. On pinterest you can find lots of examples!

Saturday I found a little package on my doormat. It was filled with flower seeds packed in a lovely heart and in paper. See the pictures. It was sent by Hanneke. We were colleagues for a short time and a couple of years later I met her again when she came to a workshop I gave. Since she started her blog I always read her blogs with a smile on my face. She writes great blogs about many things in daily life and she shows great things the has made herself. The paper with seeds in it is made by herself as well. You can read a little about the proces here.The straw contains Poppy seeds

Thanks, Hanneke! And thank you for coming by. Have a nice day!
