Ah yes, another online card class.  For those who landed here without knowing about this class, there have awesome classes. And the wonderful thing is you can review the classes over and over again.  Wonderful!!!!

 

For this first day of class we were suppose to make cards that can be duplicated to make for our card mailing!!!!

 

So I wanted to do a little twist on the card that Jennifer made.  So I decided to make a card with a chalkboard look.  I also wanted to try that chalkboard technique from Tim Holtz.  Wow!  Was that easy!!!  Using the Rangers Embossing Antiquities Frosted Crystal on the embossing and then rubbing the chalk over it worked like a dream.  Very Cool Tim Holtz!!!!!  I painted the rhinestones with a copic marker to make red rhinestones.  Just to give it a little pop.  Also the mini bow on top (thanks for the idea Jennifer)/  It took me a while to find red foil paper.  I dragged my brother to Hobby Lobby to get the paper and they also had white erase board paper.  I had to buy it,  not sure what to do with it yet.
