Finished Chalkboard Design


And here is the finished product! (See earlier posts for the step-by-process up till now.)

Okay, so I left you with the transfer of the design from computer paper to chalkboard. Once this was done, I just needed to add color, to fill in the transferred design and lettering. I used basic chalk. Nothing fancy is necessary. Since the Bride's Wedding colors are royal blue, I used blue chalk for the lettering. I shadowed the lettering in white chalk which made the lettering stand out better. I used green chalk inside the compass since green hydrangeas will be the flowers at the outdoor wedding ceremony. I chose to make ocean waves under the lettering and have Mr. Wind blowing above. 

I really enjoyed this whole process and I hope to do more chalkboarding in the future!


And here's a helpful hint:  sharpen chalk with a pencil sharpener!
