For Cathy's "School Days" challenge, I made a chalkboard. Do I get bonus points because it looks like a third grader made it? LOL. I tried to do a fancy frame with mitered corners, but it resulted in a crooked frame with one corner that didn't fit (hence the little Happy Birthday tag in the corner of the card).
I was inspired by Tonda's card from this week's color challenge. And I thought that the Crayon Alphabet that I just discovered my love for would make a really great chalkboard lettering. My gosh, this took me forever to stamp! I used my ExactlyWrite Address Guide to make my lines straight for my letters and my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp and emboss one letter at a time. Looks pretty good though, doesn't it?
I wanted to color the cake with crayons as part of the use something you would find at school theme, but the crayon wouldn't show up on the black, so I got out my chalk pastels to color in the cake.
Seriously, this is so crazy lopsided, but I still like it. Although it took forever, it was really fun to make.
