I started off by cutting a frame die using kraft paper, then cut it again in black. I embossed the sentiment in white on the black inside panel then distressed it with white ink. I put strips of Score Tape on the back of the black panel before inlaying it into the frame because it warped slightly when I embossed it. I stamped my red ornaments to hang over the frame like in the inspiration photo. I drew a line for the string with a white pencil crayon. It still looked like it needed a bit more so I added the snowflakes, held me breath and embossed them on the completed card.

I love the look of your framed chalkboard, especially your heart ornaments and little smudges, which look like bokeh to me. Thanks so much for having me as your guest this week.

What a beautiful card. Being a teacher, blackboards speak to me. Of course these days they use white boards; I'm dating myself.
Absolutely perfect for the challenge, Tracey.
