Chalkboard Card

Have you noticed the explosion of chalkboard art in the craft world? I have and I love it! Then one of my favorite designers made this card and this card then I KNEW I had to give it a try.

Here is my first attempt:

In real life this pops more than it does in the picture, but it still doesn't have the oomph it would have had on a darker background.  I will be trying this technique again it really was a lot of fun.

Thank you for stopping by and wishing you a great day!
