Hello friends! Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Design’s February Release Blog Hop! you might want to start at the ODBD Blog so you don’t miss a thing.
I started by black embossing the Chalkboard onto white card stock, then used a brayer and a melon rainbow ink pad to roll on the colors. I think it’s a great way to get a lot of color with very little effort. I also like how it reminds me of some of those restaurant chalkboards written with the neon chalk. I brayered another piece of white card stock and stamped the Honeycomb Background on top. With the big, bold solid centerpiece image, I wanted a more open image for the background so the honeycomb really fit the bill. After black embossing a smaller white piece with the Antique Labels Designs and Happy Birthday sentiment, I die cut it using the matching Antique Label die. I left the die in place and since it’s a much smaller piece, I sponged on the ink. I added a white layer behind the chalkboard, a yellow bow and my 4.25 x 5.50 card was finished.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

PS—of course this is more polished and lovely but the technique in which you used with the stamp remands me of grade school when we used different brightly colored crayolas—then went over with a black crayola with a heavy hand—then drew/scratched the black off—great memories
Julie, what a gorgeous piece of work! The honey comb background is great, and I love the way it’s varigated colors match the “chalkboard” image! Wonderful!

Julie, this is such a beautiful birthday card. I really like the colors you’ve used on this. I’m loving all these new ODBD stamps!!!!
I should have known I’d find glorious colours when I got to your blog. Those stamps certainly are perfect for embossing resist, and I love the bright strong colours you’ve used. Perfect background, enough detail to be interesting, not too much to distract from the main panel.
Love the card.
