Another card using chalks for you tonight, this time stamped on a light cardstock. The technique used in this card is "chalk popping" or "poppin' pastels". I've used a few other images from the gorgeous Friends 24-7 set, in conjunction with a frame from the Cute & Curly set (curly label punch, how do I love thee? 
).

My goodness, I hadn't realised so much time had passed since I had last posted here! I've been busy working on team swaps, swaps for Regionals, getting ready for Christmas and a multitude of other everyday things. I'm back tonight to share with you a snippet of the card I have just uploaded to the Elite Challenges blog. This card uses the 'chalkboard' technique, a great way of creating with a dark background. As always, for the full image and product details, check it out over at Elite Challenges.
On Friday night Clare hosted this months Inklings Cyberstamp. Her first challenge was a sketch challenge based on a poster for the movie The Shining, the second challenge was a colour challenge of black, white and orange. I was late to the party so I decided to speed things up by combining the challenges (after all, orange can be a bit scary... 
). The colours would have been great for a Halloween card, but since that was past I was a little stuck for inspiration until I thought of all the Tiger Moths we have around at the moment. I used the emboss resist technique to create my moths with the Flight of the Butterfly set, so they may be a little confused as to what species they really are but I'm really happy with how they turned out. And yes, I actually used Only Orange!

Above is a snippet from the card I just uploaded over at the Elite Challenges blog. When working on this card I decided early on that I wanted the reindeers to be the feature, and to help them stand out even more I would use the Chocolate glitter from the Supernova glitter set. Chocolate reindeers reminds me of Lindt chocolate, we usually include a pack for each of the girls amongst their Christmas stuff. And now that I have got you all thinking about chocolate, I'm off! I'll be back tomorrow with a very different card to the one I have shared tonight 
PS my tweak of the double-ball ornament didn't turn out, and now that I have attempted it I have a feeling I may have even tried it last year! Oh well
I'm very excited to let you all know that I have had a tutorial published! Beate asked me to provide a tutorial of the double-ball oraments I shared last year (second image on this post) for Splitcoast Stampers, and today it is up! They are very easy, and only use small pieces of DSP so it can even be made with scraps. Head over to Splitcoast for the full list of supplies as well as photo and videos of the tutorial. I've just thought of a tweak for these too, so I shall give that a go later and share with you too :)
