This is a technique used on PTI's Make It Monday #168, "Combining Chalk and Stamps With Impression Plates". I will admit, I wasn't crazy about this idea until I tried it....and now I just love this technique!
I started with a piece of white cardstock and impressed it with my Linen & Canvas Impression Plate. Next, I colored the background with chalks, using greens, blues and pinks as the background colors. It really didn't look that great but I continued....
After the chalked background was completed, I stamped the flowers and leaves using Rosie Posie and Rosie Posie Step 2, which adds details to the images. This second step really makes the flowers and leaves pop! I used Rosebud and Pure Poppy inks for the flowers and Spring Moss and Pistachio inks for the leaves. I added a few floating berries to the image too.
The sentiment is stamped in Smokey Shadow ink so it's not as harsh as black ink. I rounded the bottom corners and placed it on a Raspberry Fizz cardstock card base. After it was all put together I was amazed at how nice it turned out!
