hey Friend Winter Mini Card

Created this Clean & Simple (CAS) hey Friend Winter Mini Card using a new to me Cuttlebug embossing border folder, Winter Borders. Embossed the left hand side of the Kraft cardstock card base (the photograph makes the Kraft cardstock look orange) with only part of the embossing border folder that is the tree and not the Winter house scene below the tree. Used Basic Grey bird stamp & sentiment "hey, Friend!" stamped on light blue cardstock (photograph makes the light blue look gray but I like that for a Wintery feel). Used Stardust chalk for snow look on embossed tree & birds. Chalk-Ah-Lot Cafe challenge this week is Something New w/ Chalk and last wk was Snow and my new was that this card was for a new friend (new friend met at Michaels that I'm going to show how to make some cards like I've been making) and since I was using the Winter Borders embossing folder the snow look seemed appropriate.
