And I decided I'd better try the faux chalkboard technique before it goes out of fashion:)
The sentiment is from the PTI set called The Sweet Life and the motif is from an older SU set called Carte Postale - I like how this motif kind of echoes the motif in the pp. After embossing both on a label die cut with a Spellbinder Nestie I added the hand drawn border with a white prismacolor pencil and sponged on some white pigment ink. The banners were die cut using MFT dies and the hearts using a SU embosslit. All edges were lightly distressed with Ranger antique linen distress ink.
I've been in CAS mode lately and it felt really good to throw caution to the wind and not worry about how much it's going to cost to mail out a card with so many layers! What a rebel I am:)
Other Supplies Used: Stampin' Up cs, Queen & Co silver pearls, Echo Park pp
Enjoy the rest of the weekend! Tomorrow I'll have no hope whatsoever of wrestling the TV remote from my dh......guess I'd better pick a Daytona 500 race car driver to cheer for:)

Oh my gosh, Robin, this is amazing!!! I love the placement of your banners and the pretty hearts and pearls! Awesome job, my friend!
Beautiful, Robin! I love how you used the chalkboard technique. I need to give it a try myself. My DH will be watching the 500 too.
Robin, what a great design using the colors! Loving the chalkboard technique too :) You will not be the only one handing over the remote tomorrow - Hubby has already said that will be where the channel will be set :)
Oh, Robin--this is a winner! Love your design, the paper, your chalkboard technique (perfect 1st try!)--everything! I loved the colors when I saw them but nothing has come into my mind--uh oh--LOL!
