Christmas Card Chalk Board Technique.

Two Challenges on one card, I don't do this very often but this week I wan't to join in the Challenge at Sunny Challenges & Creations 88/13 which is to use Washi Tape and as I'm just starting to learn ways to use it I didn't know where to begin. So I started with a sketch from Seize the Sketch #4.
The Washi Tape is the red spotty scallop band across the bottom of the card. I just placed the Washi Tape on strip of white card and cut it out with the scallop Edgelite die. Iv'e used the Joy to the World stamp set and the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set. I'm so glad Stampin' Up! decided to keep this set, it's not in the Holiday Catalogue but it has been carried over from the last Catalogue so it's still available. Yay!
I stamped the ornament with the Gold Metallic Encore ink, really like how it looks.
Here's the sketch I used from Seize the Sketch I  changed it a bit in making my card horizontal. To play along with this sketch click here. To join in the fun at Sunny Challenges & Creations click here. I can't wait to see what everyone else does with the Washi Tape.

 Did you notice I used the Chalk board technique for this card? Just in case you didn't know I love this technique!

What a gorgeous card Leah. I love the way you used the Washi Tape to create a decorative edge. The greeting and the addition of the Christmas Bauble are just the right finishing touches. Thanks for playing along at Sunny Challenges and Creations this week.

What a beautiful card you have done for us in this challenge Leah. The washi tape as edging is brilliant and like you I am so glad the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set was carried over too. Thank you so much for playing along with us at Sunny Challenges and Creations

Leah, this is lovely! Of course I am biased since I adore polka dots (red in particular!) and the chalkboard technique.
