Fun Chalking technique! You just cut a piece of Basic Black Cardstock, heat emboss an image or sentiment with your Versamark & White embossing powder, and then add some Whisper White Craft Ink using the Blending brushes or any sponge you may have at home, but rubbing it around the image to make it look like a chalk board!
