To create this Chalk Board I wanted to go black and then pop with accents. I used Gold Coloured brads that match the Gold embossing powder fairly closely.

The embossed birds on the bottom are made using an older CTMH stamp set.
I used the Gold Ice Stickles to outline all of the flowers from the birds up. Both the inner and outer edges of the frame were worked with CTMH black distressing ink to give the illusion of a black frame.
If you want to use this as a message board you can use regular chalk. I wanted a permanent message for my office door so I chose to used the CTMH chalk marker.
