Chalkboard Technique Tag

Hello!
I'm calling this "the post that almost didn't happen."
I was having problems with uploading a photo, and then pasting a link.
(Thanks, Barb, for your suggestion!  It's different from what I'm familiar with, but it worked!)

When I first saw Betsy Veldman's post on her blog, using the Chalkboard Technique, I knew I had to try it.
The PTI -Make It Monday #98 - Chalkboard Technique was the perfect opportunity for me to try it.
I made this a few days ago, and I almost decided not to post it. 
Quite honestly, I'm not very pleased with the way it turned out.
But, I spent SO much time on it, that I decided to go ahead & post it.
For lots of wonderful inspiration, be sure to check out Betsy's video and all the fabulous entries.

I'm so glad you posted this sweet tag. It is a great take on the challenge. I like how you added red to your chalkboard. It adds just that little extra bit.

I don't know what there is not to like Martha! You are too hard on yourself! It's absolutely stunning with that beautiful red!

I haven't watched that video, but I don't know what you don't like about your take. This card is lovely, Martha. I love how you put the images together & the chalkboard effect looks wonderful!

This is one of my favourite projects in the PTI gallery. It would be totaly awful, if you wouldn`t share it. I love all the sweet touches of red hearts.
