F4A192: Chalkboard effect. My chalkboard effect was actually done with the computer.. I used Printmaster to create the white text with a black background. I stamped the frame and cut the inside out to put the text behind it. I just used some white ink to smudge it up a bit. The floor was created using a ruler and a copic liner and then coloring in the squares. I stamped and colored Luigi and popped him up on the front of the card. I also colored another hat and popped that up on top.

Thanks for looking

Oh, Irene, I just LOVE this card, and your tutorial is fabulous (and both handed - I'm a lefty, so that's so important for me). It was so nice to hear your sweet voice! Hugs, sweet friend!

LOVE your card and this image! DH makes homemade pizza every Friday night and it the BEST pizza in town! Wish I had this guy to make DH a special card with him!
Thank you too for the detailed comment on my camel card! Wish I could have found the more whimsical camel, but I bought the best that stamp store had to offer and improvised! It was fun adding the bling though!
