Today I'm featuring Faber-Castell Chalkboard paint and PITT Pastel Pencils blue/green. I love how well the pastel pencils color on the chalkboard paint.
1. I started with a 4 3/4" x 6 3/4" teal card. I cut 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" watercolor paper, and painted 2 coats of Faber-Castell chalkboard paint letting the coats dry in between. I rounded the corners.
2. I used Stampendous Jumbo Cling Rubber Butterfly Trio to stamp onto the chalkboard paper using Staz-On ink in white. Once that dried I colored the butterflies with PITT Pastel Pencils 151,153, and 143.
3. I rounded the corners and punch out an oval from the bottom. I taped the sentiment behind the oval, and then foam taped it to my card front. I added rhinestones to the wings to finish it off.

I'll have to try stamping with the white staz-on. I first thought the butterflies had been stamped and the black added later. the butterflies are colored great and the black doesn't show through. Great idea.
thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous card. Are the Pitt Pastel pencil chalky? Do they rub off or settle into the paper? Thanks for the inspiration.
