Manly Monday Chalkboard sentiment card

The patterned paper has green and blue stripes. I decided to change things up with it. I came in with a Hero Arts stencil and blue distress oxide. After random ink blending I spritzed it with Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels. The sentiment is a chalkboard stamp stamped with distress oxide onto Color Aid paper. 

Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Snowflake frame card

  The snowflake frame is by Memory Box. The patterned paper and label are so old that I don’t remember. I did apply distress Stickles on the leaves but you it’s hard to tell in the pictures. Distress Stickles are not sparkly.

I colored in a few of the snowflakes to give them more recognition. The sentiment is a die by Spellbinders. Thanks for looking. HAGD!
