Gratitude may only be only word, but there are so many ways to express it. Here are just two of many possibilities which feature chalkboard effects.
For my expression of gratitude, I paired a multicolored background with a solid color embellishment.
Randomly applied Dandelion Memento Luxe, Lilac Posies Memento Luxe and Love Letter Memento Luxe inks to Penny Black's Chalkboard Grateful is a quick and easy way to create a background pattern. Sponging one of the ink colors from the background (Love Letter Memento Luxe) perfectly coordinates a butterfly (Flutters by Penny Black) die cut from white cardstock. A large silver pearl sticker adds a bold accent. Layering with a white cardstock mat on a white card base adds a soft visual texture.

The background was stamped using Penny Black Twirls and I isolated the butterflies from Penny Black Botanical Notes (colored with ShinHan Art Touch Twin Markers) to embellish the card further.
For today's chalkboard effects, we used Penny Black's...
