Two for the Road

Today I mailed my 2nd box of cards to Operation Write Home.  I have been working on these 65 cards for around 6 weeks.  ONLY 10 cards a week on average!  I can hardly imagine doing more, though many of the card makers do.   For my last Christmas card I wanted to try the chalkboard look.  I followed a youtube video, sort of.  I don't have white embossing powder, or a white pencil, or even a stamp selection that lends itself to the look of chalkboard art.  These Tim Holtz Christmas and pine branch stamps were suitable.  I used white pigment ink and a white crayon. 

This card was fun to make.  I followed along with OWH sketch #156 and a little twist from Sandy.  I used black embossing powder on the typewriter and hello stamps.
