Graffiti Chalk Board Art

I spend a ridiculous amount a lot of time on Pinterest. I enjoy the eye candy and getting inspired to make different projects. I saw this project the other day:

Pin found here.

I liked the graphic nature of it, but if I used something like this for my grocery list, I'd run out of room fast!

I decided to put my own twist on the project and whipped up the little clipboard/chalkboard below. Being the creative person I am, I thought it would be a cool way to display my artwork du jour.

I started with a clipboard from the Dollar Store and painted it with two coats of black chalkboard paint. After the chalkboard paint dried, I stamped the word "Art" and the arrow images using the Graffiti Unmounted Rubber stamps and white acrylic paint. (Remember to clean the acrylic paint off of your stamps right away!) Once that was dry, I chose several colors of neon dabbers to color in the artwork. I squeezed a small pool of ink dabber onto scrap paper, then used a fine tip artist's brush to color in the fine details. The doodle edge detail was hand-drawn with a white chalk marker.

Now I have a FUN-ctional way to display my ever-changing favorites!

Creatively yours,
Karen
