This month I'm featuring the chalkboard technique on my cards.
  It's a fun and easy technique.  So let's get started....get out your chalk............nope..........get out your white inks.  I prefer to use my VersaMagic white chalk ink for the powdered chalk effect on my cards but for the actual stamping I like Colorbox white pigment ink and white embossing powder.  For these two cards I used a lot of pattern papers behind my images.  This cow is just too cute for the farm!  and the barn is just full of country charm.
Please continue on to see what Janine has on her country farm.

    and a big ah ha for me! LOL I have been struggling for months when I look at your blog because it jumps. (yours isn't the only one) I have looked online to see why and can't get anything to come up. I changed browsers and OH HEAVEN your blog no longer jumps it sits nice and still so I can read and look without getting motion sick!!!!
