Everything I used this month except for the picture came with the Canvas Art Kit Workshop on the Go (G1062). I did a little bit of mixing up of the two sets of Dimensional Elements included in the kit.
For the letters in the penants I used the exclusive inks stamp pads Z2105 black and Z2116 cranberry for the heart in the circle above the picture.

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.

This month I wanted to keep things simple as I find when you have something like this it is already busy due to the multiple boxes. I used various pages from the Chantilly Paper Packet and the Chantilly Complements Dimensional Elements. I jazzed things up a bit using liquid glass when I just wanted a bit of shine, and Glitz Stardust Glitter Gel for Sparkle.
This is the completed project, you will see in the upper left hand corner I did not insert a picture. I just love this one paper style and decided to use the Chantilly Dimensional elements to emphasize it. I popped them up with half inch glue dots.
One of my other passions is gardening, so I thought this was the perfect venue to show off two of my favourite past-times. I also added a shot of my daughters puppy at the time because was the last time he was small enough to fit under anything.
We had a lot of Monarch Butterflies last year, and that was the first time since I had moved to Manitoba that we had so many in our neighbourhood.
The Glitz Glitter Gel just adds a nice sparkle to the dimensional elements.I used the Liquid Glass in the centre of each flower in the border accent on the left side. It made the pink centres show up brighter.
Supplies used:
Hinged display tray Z1838 $18.95
Chantilly Paper Packet X7163B $9.95 Page 18
Chantilly Comlements Dimensional Elements X7163C $4.95 Page 18
Glitz Glitter Gel Stardust Z1313 $2.75 Page 130
Liquid Glass Z679 $6.95 Page 130
Bonding Memories Glue Pen Z553 $4.50 Page 132 (This was great for precision gluing along the edges of the frame.)
