I will draw two winners on Monday, the 6th.
And here's the card I wanted to share with you....
It's a chalkboard technique thank you card that I made
using the Forever Fall stamp set by Reverse Confetti.
using the Forever Fall stamp set by Reverse Confetti.
I started with a panel of My Minds Eye patterned paper,
which I layered over some true black cardstock.
I cut another rectangle of black cardstock and stamped my sentiment and woodgrain heart in versamark and then heat embossed them with white embossing powder.
I rubbed some white ink over top and inked the edges in black with my blending tool,
for a chalkboard look.
To finish it off, I added two MME decorative brads.
Before you go, feel free to follow my blog & click on the link to do so on the sidebar.
Next on the hop is AJ Otto.
Here's the complete list of all of the blog hop participants:
