Chalkboard technique...I'm hooked!

I took a break from Oh, Whale! cards to try out the chalkboard technique that everyone is doing.  I am now officially HOOKED! It is soooo much fun! I made at least 8 different cards using both new and retired products.

This first card is mostly new.  I used Vintage Verses from the upcoming Sale-a-bration catalog, works just great for this technique!  I added in a couple small retired greeting to fill the space in the middle.  It was still needing something, so I added a heart with a gem.  I added shadowing with white watercolor pencil and white craft ink.  The base of the card is simply Crumb cake with a layer of honey comb embossed Baja Breeze. 



Thanks for stopping by! More chalkboard cards to come, check back!

If it doesn't move..stamp it!!
