Chalkboard Inspired

Movers & Shakers - PTI, April Showers - Flourishes 
This card is inspired by the chalkboard trend.  I am combining a few challenges for this card.  One is the Friday Mash Up #101.  I mashed the chalkboard look with stamps from two companies.  The sentiment is from PTI's Movers and Shakers Sentiment stamps and the tulips are from Flourishes April Showers set.  I decided to color over the tulips with yellow and the stems with green because it looked like colored chalk does on a chalkboard - often a little pale.  The umbrella is a die from MFT.

The second challenge this was designed for is Dynamic Duos Challenge #44 - using black and So Saffron.  And finally, Splitcoast Stampers Inspiration Challenge 380. The Inspiration is a company called Spoonflower.  What an amazing site!  I used this fabric as my inspiration.

I hope you'll leave a comment and follow my blog.  I'm hoping for 100 followers - 25 at a time!!
