Today I'm sharing a card using the Spellbinders May 2026 release Checkmate. (Affiliate links are used throughout at no additional cost to you. Any small commission I make goes toward my craft fund so I can continue to create and share with all of you. xx)
Scroll to the bottom for a complete list of products used.
I love using pink, black, and white together and knew I needed to create a glittery pink queen chess piece on a classic black and white chess board. I die cut all of the needed pieces to assemble our sparkly queen, inking the elements before assembling. Because I wanted a simple black and white chess board, I only used the first two stencil layers, inking with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink. I love the addition of chess piece shadows in the stencil, so inked a shadow for our regal queen. I found a warm pink dye ink in my stash and used for the "You Slay, Queen" sentiment. A die is included to cut sentiment strips, but I opted to just trim the stamped sentiments down with my trimmer.
