You've probably noticed a lot of "chalkboards" popping up on papercrafting blogs. I've wanted to give it a go for awhile, and thought this sentiment, from the Faithful Friend set, was perfectly fonted for it.
I stamped the image onto Smokey Shadow (PTI) cardstock with Fresh Snow (a amuse) pigmented ink. I then colored 3 feature words with some chalk ink markers that I have. I gave it a little outlined frame using a white sharpie, added some white distressing around the edges and woila. A Chalkboard.
That's it for me today. Next up on the hop is the talented Betty.

Tosha,
