I am going to be honest, I didn't fall in love with the "chalkboard technique" when I first saw it but it's been growing on me! So when I saw that our challenge this week was to use white embossing powder I decided it was time to try it out. I used this video to help me get started: Stamped Silly . I really had a lot of fun playing around with the technique!
I used the stamp outline from "All Postal" and the sentiment from "News From the Woods". I added the doodles in the corners with a white water color pencil.
Thanks for looking! I hope you will stop by all next week as MFP a Heinrich Co. releases the new sets for April and I will have a blog post ever day!
Here is what I used to create this card:

This is the stamp set being given away to one lucky player in this week's challenge:
