One of my favorite techniques from the Online Card Classes Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 102 class was the “chalkboard effect” achieved by rubbing chalk across heat-set Antiquities embossing powder. I created a few more images with the technique and used one on a card.
I based my card on those I’ve seen both from Tammy Tutterow and in the Stampers Anonymous CHA-Summer 2013 Collection Catalog using the caroler stamp image. I dry-embossed the Core’-dinations Cardstock with the Sheet Music embossing folder, and finished it off with additional Tim Holtz products – the Custom Fasteners and Trimmings.

You are getting into the distressed look and I love it! I agree the chalkboard is fab on this, all the elements are put together so well!
