More scrapping in the Limelight

The awesome Limelight collection works really well with the chalkboard look that is so trendy now! Simply pair it with a black background and some white doodles, splashes and journaling for a great effect. 

Use the Damask template and dab a finger/sponge with watermark ink over just one of the designs. Heat emboss it and splash some white mist or watered down gesso over the black cardstock. 

Now embellish with strips of the Today paper...

 ... and a selection of die-cuts from the collectables pack.

Team it with a few green starburst buttons and some silver stars. These are puffy, metallic and oh-so-versatile. If you don't have them in your stash already, then go and get some! I love them. 

You also really need some bike charms! Everyone needs a bike charm...

I still had a few bits left and made a couple of cards:

 If you like the popular chalkboard look, but don't feel overly confident with chalkboard paint and chalk, don't despair - fake it till you make it!

 Choose one of the many fabulous stencils from the templates, masks and stencils section (mine is the leaves template) and a black card. Tap a white Adirondack paint dabber on your cutting mat to make a little puddle of paint. Pick it up with a finger sponge or cosmetic sponge and dab over the leaf design. Once it's dry, outline it with a white gel pen. 

 After you have attached 2 of the tags from Dawn paper, continue the leaf design onto the tag as well. Add some spots with Liquid Pearls, a green mini gardenia, ribbon and a love key charm. 

Draw some white doodles around the edge of the card and you have faked it like a pro!

The last few scraps were made into this card ...

 together with a yellow rose, gilded mica fragments ...

...and a heart locket: 

Makes you wanna go fishing. There are some pretty cool fish charms available (click here), but I had used mine all up!
