and the inside of my card:
Based on this sketch:
Yep, I did another chalkboard type card. I can't get enough of this look! All edges were inked with walnut stain before being adhered. The stamp set I've had for a few years, but this was the first time inking up this particular stamp. I also shopped my stash for those snowflakes. The blue ones are foam, and the appliques are actually iron ons that I just popped on with foam squares.
Well, that's all I've got. I hope you have a great evening and weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
Chris
