Time for a new Card Concept challenge! We've got a Back-To-School theme, and I made a card to give to a teacher.
Here's our inspiration photo, below. I was inspired by the chalkboard, the tree, the apples, and the colors.
I employed the chalkboard technique with a Verve sentiment from Glad Tidings, and a little Hampton Arts flower, paired with fun glittered Jolee's stickers.
My spot on the Card Concept Team is as a Classy & Elegant designer. The definition is listed as any of these:
Must admit I had a hard time working with a school theme and still creating something elegant. Not sure I've actually achieved that...
Hope you get a chance to play with us! Check HERE for all the details. :-)

I've seen lots of chalkboard cards before, but never one like this! The way you framed the chalkboard in the tag is darling. I love the dramatic color combo, and how you focused a lot of the "chalk" around your sentiment :)
