I got the idea for the chalkboard style from a card by Kitty Frampton in the Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine. I have used a sentiment from the DigiStamp Boutique, the original is black on white - I reversed it for the chalkboard look, the papers are some from My Mind's Eye that have been in my stash for ages.
The stars are my favourite X-cut die and I used an EK Success notebook edge punch, the little pencil has also been in my stash for ages.
I also made a matching gift bag.
I would like to enter my card and gift bag into the following challenges:
Simply Create Too Challenge 64 - Sentiment as the Highlight
Scribbles Designs Challenge 18 - Say it with a Sentiment
Crafting From The Heart Challenge 24 - Anything Goes
My Craft Creations Challenge - Anything Goes
