I've been very lucky with winning challenges recently, including a gift certificate from DRS Designs. I got such a kick out of their "Positive Attitude Greeting" and am having tons of fun inking it up! I matched it with one of my favorite rubber stamps by Rogue Redhead Designs.
I always have fun with the inherent messiness of the Chalkboard Technique; I heat-embossed the stamps in white & added detail with a white gen pen.
I made the frame with some Popsicle sticks from desserts past; I trimmed them with a razor blade & scissors, and stained them with Vintage Photo distress ink. The little screws on the top corners (V's Sweet Ideas) were heat embossed in silver. The ribbon is from my stash. The backing paper is a slate blue cardstock.
