Inking up....

new stamps.  Just got in several new sets of stamps so I've been getting inky even though half my scrapbook area is still unpacked after installation of  new floor.  I've been loving the chalkboard trend, so I sent for this Simon Says stamp set "Chalkboard Love." I immediately dug out my Stampin Up Whisper White inkpad to see if I could get the same chalkboard look.   This little piece of black cs was my very first test (amazing) and I liked it so much I built a card around it.  I'm easily impressed.  hahah.   The white field is embossed but it's very subtle--kind of a basket weave design and doesn't show up at all in this photo.  Anyway, I see lots of action in the future for it.  I'll work on a better trick to photo it.  A little of my precious silk ribbon and a few enamel dots = fast cute little card.  I should say the chevron stripes are from another stamp set from MME called "Ginger Pictures stamps."  Hugs, Kathy
