Finally the chalkboard technique!

I have been wanting to make a card using the chalkboard technique for what seems like a year (well maybe since Betsy Veldman's blog post in November)!  Splitcoaststampers was featuring it for the Try a New Technique Challenge today so I finally decided to play along.  I used Betsy's step by step photo tutorial seen HERE to create my card.

I used Rescue Remedies from Waltzingmouse Stamps.  The striped paper is from Authentique's Festive Collection and the little ruler is from some American Crafts paper.  Thought it went with the whole vintage theme.

The red striped paper reminded me of Christmas sweets, but the added hearts in the center of the flowers would be perfect for Valentine's Day!

If you haven't tried it yet, make it YOUR New Year's Resolution.  It's seriously fun.  I have 2 more labels ready to go, just have to pair them up with some patterned papers.  Maybe tomorrow on a lazy New Year's Day ;)!
