If you've arrived here from Silke's inspiring blog, you're on the right track. If not, you might want to start at the ODBD Blog.
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.

Very cool card! I love it!
Tosh, I always love your cards! I recently tried the chalkboard technique. When I asked my kids if it looked like a chalkboard, the said "I guess, we don't use chalkboards we use white boards" I guess chalkboards are "antique" now! Thanks for sharing!

I am in love with this style! You have completed a wonderful feast for the eyes!
Very nice card. Love the way you did the verse, coloring the three stand out words and making the whole piece look like a chalk board. I also love the little red message in the blocks on the designer paper. Very nice work!

Tosha,
I love that the lace, the twine bow and the crimped heart are the same color. Anything vintagish has a feeling of sincerity. The verse is outstanding. It fits the card perfectly,
