Hello,
Its time for Chalk-Ah-Lot Café Challenge #4
Theme: Use chalk as a background
For my card this week, I used a cotton ball to spread the chalk all over the black cardstock. Then with an eraser and and a ruler, I removed some of the chalk to create my background. This beautiful flower from Stamp N Plus Scrap N, was colored with Memento markers, and stamped on glossy cardstock. I then took a background stamp, and stamped on top of the flower when it was dry.
We hope that you will stop by the Chalk-Ah-Lot Café Blog to take a look at the fabulous DT inspiration, and join in this weeks challenge with us. We would love to see what you come up with, and we have great prizes!
* You will now be able to use any image. But you will still need to use our chalks. *
Please join us for a fun chalk blog hop!

I like the Rose & background chalk technique. I've not tried the cotton ball, eraser & ruler technique. You have inspired me to give it a try. I hope mine will look 1/2 as good as yours. Glad to have won some more chalk to play with for my Cheetah scrapbook layout and will give the background chalking a try.
