Let It Snow

Hello there!  I actually designed this card during summer CHA.  I kept seeing all those fabulous Christmas collections with some chalkboard looks thrown in.  And since I couldn't get my hands on any of that paper--- I made my own chalkboard look with a stencil and white ink.  I'm also sharing this card on the Scrapbook Blessings Club blog today.

I used the TC Dec 25th Cricut cart- Let It Snow @ 3 1/2".  I used the center of the image as a stencil and used white ink and a q-tip to create the chalkboard look.

Recipe:
A2 cardbase in white
TC Dec 25th Cricut cart - Let It Snow @ 3 1/2"
red brads from Oriental Trading co
white ink for edges/stenciling
washi tape to hold the stencil in place
q-tip

Love how this one came out :-)  Thanks for stopping by today!
