I really wasn't sure what I was going to do with these colours, but I'm really pleased how this turned out. Over at Merry Monday - MM#191 the team would like to see the "Chalkboard Technique" and at Jingle Belles - JB:16:04 they want to see TEXT. So I thought text and chalk boards go together and my board is dark blue!! I cut a panel of design paper slight smaller than the base, ran a gold pen around the edge and adhered it flat to the card. Next I die cut a rectangle of navy card and stamped this bold greeting in white pigment ink and heat embossed with white powder. I doodled a border in white pen and then adhered the panel to some gold card and attached it to the front of the card. I finished the front with some gold die cut holly, complete with blue berries! On the inside I made a mat from navy card. On the white card I stamped a Christmas greeting and added some gold holly leaves.
Edited: I've just added my card to the Merry Monday challenge and I think I must have been subconsciously CASing Betty! Her card is absolutely fabulous

i am very flattered that you cased my card and it's gorgeous done in blue - i often see cards on blogs, pinterest, wherever and then make a card not realizing i've cased someone - and so pleased that you entered the MM challenge.
Sounds jolly cold where you are Deborah - you've made a gorgeous card though - very pretty - Jacqueline xx
Fabulous card Deborah. Love the bold sentiment and the background paper. Great doodling too.
Not heard of the chalkboard technique...must check that out.
