Hampton Art | the faux chalkboard approach!

The days seem to be ticking by so quickly and we've come to the end of another week... thank goodness. The weekend is like a break from routine and although we don't get to sleep in, it still means I don't have to worry about school uniforms, lunch boxes and the general run around that goes on during the week days.

Today's card is something a bit different as I don't think I've ever dabbled in one of the current trends of the 'black-board look'. Actually to be honest, the last time I remember using a black-board was way back in school when I used to take great delight in running my fingernails down the classroom board and watching my fellow students cringe from the noise... such a model student!

The faux chalkboard was simply a matter of using a good quality white ink when stamping the image and then having some fun making a few smudges and smears. Simple but really effective!

I kept the black and white theme consistent across the card except for a touch of aqua to act as a highlight in breaking up the monotone.
