The Chalkboard Technique and Buttons are the Serendipity's Design Team Challenge this time! All you have to do to enter the Blog Challenge is to use Buttons this month. You have till February 3 to enter.
When I decided to use this stamp for the Chalkboard technique it made me think of a chalkboard outside a specialty WINE shop. What do you think? I wanted to use Distress Aged Mahogany Ink for my grapes but my pad was all dried up! So, I had to use Fired Brick. Not quite the color I wanted (to match Burgundy wine) but it will have to do!
Inside I stamped the grapes again on both layers.

Miriam you are such a pro. Oh my gosh I love your card, your stamping, the inside of your card and that gorgeous bow! I just ordered some ribbon like yours it came yesterday.
Miriam... Love the colors you used...they're wonderful along with your card!! Those grapes look fabulous with that sentiment and gorgeous bow!!
Love this! I think it would make a great invitation....both stamps on my wish list now! Perfect button and beautiful bow.
This is wonderful, Miriam! I love the grape bg and your chalkboard is perfect. Looks just like one outside a wine shop.
Thius is beautiful, I love that background paper and that beautiful bow.
