Happy Birthday, Fonda!

As I mentioned in the last post, I wanted to put together a "wow" birthday card for my friend Fonda using the Chalkboard technique. I'm really pleased with how the technique turned out, as well as with Fonda's card.



I made two versions of the "chalkboard" -- mostly because after making the first one I thought I could do even better.








And here's the card front:







Postscript - I've been getting a lot of questions on how I made this card. There's an excellent tutorial for the Chalkboard technique on the SplitCoastStampers website at:

This is just stunning Joyce. Thanks for sharing. Now I need to figure out how you DID this - would love any tips. I've never been successful with the chalks!!

Thanks for any help or places I can view this technique
