OMGosh fabulous image and I love the great design! Thanks for playing with us over at Loves Rubberstamps!!!
Your chalkboard card definitely evokes an antique look. It's quite appealing. The button and twine add nice texture. Thanks for visiting with us at 613 Avenue Create.
Cheryl, I really like the chalkboard technique used with this Santa image - takes me back a good few years because chalkboard seem to have been replaced by more modern 'tools'. Your background colouring and embellishments add such beauty and warmth to this card. Good luck in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx (OSAAT Team)
