More Sampler Cards

I love these sampler cards so much that I made 3 more of them.  I used three different stamp sets, French Foliage, Collage Curios and Nature Walk.  These stamp sets are retiring at the end of the month.  The one I am going to miss the most is French Foliage as it is one of my favourite stamp sets.

Chalkboard Technique

Of course you all know the chalkboard technique.  I just had to try it out and loved it so much that the next time I looked I had made about 8 cards using this technique.  The frame around the card is drawn freehand.

Stamps:  From My Heart

Ink:  White Stazon and Versa Mark
Cardstock:  Basic Black and Naturals White

A card I don't like and one I do

Do you ever make a card but just feel that there is something not right about it?  Well that is how I felt about the "the best things in life" card.  I even tried different colours but it was just not coming together.

I decided to change the above card and this is what I came up.  I was much happier with the second card.
