I used a white gel pen to highlight the frame and letter K then used a sponge and a very light touch to add some &#8220;chalk dust&#8221; to the background. The half sun image was stamped on white, colored with Copics and I trimmed around the rays to insert the chalkboard underneath. The black grid layer is a left over from a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.splitcoaststampers.com\/forums\/try-new-technique-f44\/tlc235-painted-grid-%7B8-24-09%7D-t455368.html\" target=\"_blank\">painted grid technique <\/a>using white acrylic paint and drywall mesh. A few die cut buttons were stacked and added to the corner. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sunny-Chalkboard-copics-02591.jpg\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-15039\" title=\"Sunny Chalkboard copics 02591\" alt=\"Julie Warner - https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Sunny-Chalkboard-copics-02591.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em; font-size: medium;\">Thanks so much for stopping by!
