When Life Gets Sour... Chalkboard Technique

Nope. Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. It's supposed to be stamped off a little because it's a chalkboard technique card. I love the sentiments in Squeeze the Day and this is another great example. I love the papaya, kraft and onyx combo, don't you? That combo was A Muse's idea and I changed up the sentiment. :) This was another camp card! Wish you could have been there to play with us. :)

Stamp Set: Squeeze the Day
Cardstock: Kraft, Papaya Petite Pinstripe & Chevron, Onyx

Great chalkboard card - wish mine looked that good - just haven't mastered the technique yet.
