Chalkboard birthday

Its week three guest designing at SweetStamps and I am very excited about the
technique we have this week-- the very popular technique of chalkboard stamping.

 It is such the rage right now and so easy to do. Just use black paper

 and ink your stamp with white ink - I always tap a little ink off because you

 really don't want it solid bright white - you want it to look like like a chalkboard.

 You can also smudge a tiny bit of white around to give it a more realistic look.

This stamp from SweetStamps is very cool . It comes with the boy and
the happy birthday sentiment -- but they are separate pieces
 and that will give you lots of choices for placement.
