Hello friends!!!!
Neha here! December is my last moth at Lulupu and this is the last post. Its been a great and the most memorable journey here at Lulupu , It made me learn so much and have definitely grown as a better crafter, but sadly it has to end.
You can find
details about our current challenge here
I have made two cards and the main focus of my cards this
time is chalkboard style washi tape which I had received in my DT kit. I just
loved this washi tape, using it you can create cool chalkboard effect with such
an ease. You can find them in Lulupu store here
I haven’t tried chalkboard style before, so I was a bit
unsure but now all my doubts are clear. I just put chalkboard washi tape on a
CS and trimmed it according to the need. Then I have used pigment inks
for stamping the sentiments. I stamped sentiment 2-3 times with pigment ink so
there visibility is better and clear. For this I used my MISTI tool as I had to
stamp 2-3 times. It makes your work so easy. I just love it! One thing you have
to keep in mind while stamping with pigment ink on tape is that it takes time
in drying. So leave it without disturbing till it dries completely otherwise it
will smudge.
For first card I created the chalkboard panel and matted it
with a blue CS. Also, wrapped some twine
around it. Next I matted it over ivory CS which was stenciled with DI (broken
china) and stencil and lastly matted it over a black card base.

Here comes the second card. For this card I have used the
same above technique for chalkboard effect. Did some stamping with black
archival ink on ivory CS using altenew wild hibiscus stamp. Also heat embossed
few flowers using golden EP. Then fussy cut them and colored with DIs mild
lavender and Victorian velvet. Added some liquid pearls gold in the center.
Also added a strip of golden glitter sheet beneath the chalkboard panel and
arranged embossed flowers and my card was ready.

I hope you like these cards and will try your hands on this
chalkboard washi tape.
And now is the time to say the final goodbye. I will be active on my Facebook page. Will love if you connect with me there. Lulupu was the first blog whose challenges I use to enter last year and first one to take me as DT this year in January I am really thankful to Karuna Chauhan for believing in me and giving me a chance to design for Lulupu. This blog gave me the wonderful opportunity to work with some really awesome and talented team of designers, Manu, Tanvi, Kripa and Dolly.
Lastly, I would like to share few of my most favorite projects for this year. I really enjoyed making these
projects for Lulupu.
