Here is my one layer card for the challenge.

I have used Blossoming Buds stamp set from Paper Smooches to stamp over the edges of the grey cardstock.  The inspiration for this card came from Jennifer McGuire’s  White Pencil Highlights for stamping video. I loved how the White Prisma pencil softens the stamped image and gave highlights to the image as well. I decided to use a grey cardstock and try the technique. When I did practice piece, I loved the chalkboard effect this technique card against the grey cardstock. Hence I choose grey as my background instead of coloured cardstock. I did white pencil highlighting to the entire of the stamped images including the sentiment. Then I felt that the definition of the image was lost. So I sharpened my pencil and went through the outline of the images to get a nice definittion. Then I added some colous here and there using blue, pink, yellow, green and gold pencils. Finally used Clear Droplets from Pretty Pink Posh to embellish and finish the card.

    Hi Gayatri,
    I taught school for years. Back when we used a blackboard, I would draw around the penmanship lesson for my kindergarten students using colored chalk. It looked so pretty. Your card reminds me of this. Your blossoms around the perimeter of the card are so uniform that I thought you had used a stamp that was shaped with an oval cut out in the center. I also watched Jennifer's lesson about using white pencil to highlight. You aced it with this card. I must make this for my best friend who is a teacher. She still goes on about my colored chalk drawings on the blackboard. Thanks for a nice walk down memory lane. 🙂
