Chalkboard Christmas

I love decorating my chalkboard for the holidays. It spreads a little "joy" to our home.

And I love re-creating that chalkboard look on my cards, too. It's easy. I just used a mat die in smoky shadow, did a little embossing with white, and then inked the edges a bit with some Fresh Snow ink. 

Isn't that polar bear too cute? I've been loving Soft Stone card stock this holiday, and I think it worked well here with the white embossed polar bear, too.
