Make it Monday #98 - Last card of 2012

I cannot believe how quickly this year has flown and now we are just hours away from 2013. I decided to whip up a card to enter in Papertrey Ink's Make it Monday - Chalkboard Technique.

 
I am constantly in awe of the creative genius that is Betsy Veldman and I have used the techniques she demonstrated to make this card, I love this technique and style so much, I can see me making a  few more!

I used the fabulous 'Thank You' set that was issued last year, Vintage Labels for the scroll work and Strawberry Patch for the little curlicues. I traced round Spellbinders Labels 18 and added some extra lines then added some shading using a yellow pencil. I then mounted it with foam tape on to some pretty yellow damask paper from My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Pad, all finished off with some ribbon and pins from my Etsy store.

Wishing you all health, wealth and happiness for 2013 - Ang x

    What detail you have on your chalkboard, love how you managed to fill the space with so many stamps from different stamps. That's hard to do!

    This totally popped out at me on Flickr! I only just used this technique from Betsy yesterday to make card for the first DCM dare of the week, it's one technique I will definitely be using again!
    Fab card and now I need to use the Thank You stamp on my next chalkboard adventure. :D
