I cannot tell you how much I love the new Blendabilities alcohol-based markers from Stampin' Up!! If you like to color and you want to look like a pro, these are going to be a great addition to your craft room.
I have to say I am pretty proud of this card... it did take quite a while between the Blendabilities and the detail added in with the White Chalkboard Stampin' Marker, but the results were pretty sweet! I have to make well over three hundred Christmas cards, so I'll be going with a simpler design for mine, but this was fun to go all-out with.
If you'd like to CASE (copy and share everything) this card, you are welcome to. Just leave me a comment and I'll consider it ample thanks! Here's a complete supply list, which you can click to go straight to my online store to order everything I used to make it.

Love this card. I bought this stamp set but thought it was a little too fuzzy. This background seems to tone it down and I really like it. Did you use the En Francais stamp for the background?
