Hello! I got a chance today to play along with the current Craft Roulette Challenge #306. I was tickled by the "chalkboard element". Now, I am not old enough to remember "blackboards" but I am definitely old enough to remember the chalkboards being green. Not to totally date myself, but I don't even think that whiteboards were even a thing when I was in school. Yikes - where did the time go?
The parameters for the challenge are:
- Project - A7 card
- Element - Chalkboard
- Colors - Summer Desserts
- Random - Bottom Border
I don't make A-7 cards very often, so I always am amazed at the amount of room that I have to work with.
The lettering on the chalkboard is heat embossed with white embossing powder. The stamp set is a new Trinity Stamps Stamp Set called 5-Star Rating. The other parts of the sentiment are heat embossed with black embossing powder.
As far as the "colors" parameter, I always think of Lemon Meringue pie for a summer dessert. Yum!
To make the border at the bottom of my card, I used the 5-Star Rating Coordinating Die Set to cut out the stars. To be honest, I totally forgot about the "random" parameter until I was done with the card, so I really lucked out with the die set since it was already on my desk.
I used the Simply Sentimental: Teacher Coordinating Die Set for the sentiment on the front of the card.
For the inside of the card I used the Simply Sentimental: Teacher Stamp Set for the sentiment.
To finish up the card, I used Gold Sparkle Stars to fill in the stars on the rating and to also embellish the card.
I am just tickled with this card. I may have to stash this card until I have a grandchild that needs one.
Thank you for stopping by today!
Sandy
