Kiss Mah Grits

With this 5x7 chalkboard card I wanted to evoke a diner given that my stepdaughter finished culinary school last year and now has a real job.  She has a fun style so I think this will be right up her alley.  If only her name were Flo or Alice, my world would be complete.  LOL.

The Details:  PTI white card stock, black card stock from old stash, Colorbox Frost White pigment ink, Derwent white watercolor pencil, PTI sentiments except for "Smile" which is from TPC Studio Playful Expressions, Spectrum Noir markers, Gourmet Rubber Stamps apron, Jolee's cherry sticker, Recollections puffy hearts, MFT Chalkboard frame, Martha Stewart gingham paper, mystery ribbon (does it remind you of an order pad at all?)

I'm entering this in Paper Players #177 Clean Slate, Addicted to Stamps & More #77 Make Your Mark, Seize the Birthday (without the Numbers topping), Sisterhood of Crafters Something New (cherries), Try It on Tuesday In with the New (new technique & stash).

    This is awesome! You've absolutely nailed the chalkboard technique...if I didn't know then I would've assumed that it WAS chalk! :) such a good idea for your daughter too, very thoughtful :)

    First I love your title - had me laughing - great mix of elements. Love the chalkboard - it really gives a retro look with the apron and the cherries.
