Two new techniques in one card....

At least it is for me lol.... There are several techniques floating around out there that I have been wanting to try for months but have been too chicken to try lol... I have been... I will admit I have a box I live in and stamp by.... and if the technique is outside that box I am in I am afraid to try it because I hate to fail at anything... and believe me since I started stamping like 5 or 6 years ago I have had many failures there... but I kept working at it until I did something I could be proud of.  Well this is one of the cards where I am happy that I tried it and will try it again but am hoping that the next time it looks more like what I have envisioned instead of turning out the way it wants to... lol.  Sometimes I think my stamps and paper have minds of their own and just look at me and say " Awe she doesn't know how she wants this to look so lets just do it our way and she will be satisfied with it." Ok before you ask.... NO I am not certifiably crazy, and I do not talk to my paper and stamps.... much... and usually I only talk to things that talk back, like tv's and radio's, oops you didn't hear that lol.  Soooo anyway on to the card.  The two techniques I tried were the Center Step Card and the Chalkboard Technique.  They were both easier than I thought and I am satisfied with how it turned out.  Please let me ( and my stamps and paper) know what you think!!!  We I love comments.

I hope you like it!!!

Have a scappilicious day!!!!
