Hello stampers and happy Monday to you. Today I am featuring a Happy Mail in Holland card that uses the Faux Chalkboard technique. Special thanks to Chris Margrie for this lovely card!!

Faux Chalkboard Technique

Chris made this card after watching my YouTube video showing this technique. I haven’t made a card like this since that video, so it is high time that I do so. It won’t be happening today though. COVID still has me in its grip. All the other symptoms are gone but today I still feel weak and feverish. When I try to do some work I break out into a sweat, so a blog post is all that is happening today! It was meant to be that Chris’ card arrived this past week so that I could have an easy blog post AND I had happy mail to cheer me up.

Chris’ card is a basic white base with rococo rose and sahara sand layers. I really love that you also used the technique on the oval sentiment. Chris has sent me happy mail in the past and you can read all about her home town Barnstaple here.

Here is my video showing you how to do this easy and fun technique. I would love to hear from you if you try this technique! Send me a picture or tell me which stamp set and which colours you used!

Thanks!

Thanks for joining me today and a special thanks to Chris Margrie for your beautiful and timely card. Your squirrel is going to head back to the couch and go back to reading a great Dutch book. I hope you stay healthy and count your blessings. Till next time, happy stamping!!

PS. Don’t forget about the draw for Calming Camelia. You will make my day by placing some online orders. Every time I get to $375 I will do a draw for the Calming Camelia stamp set.
