I did a knock off of Stamp Owl's black magic technique for my card. I stamped the solid image with white craft and set with my heat gun, then colored with Crayola colored pencils. Fancy, eh? lol I blended the colors with a Prismacolor blender pencil, then I stamped the white outline with white craft and embossed with white instead of outlining with the white gel pen. Close enough, don't you think? The sentiment is stamped with white craft. For the background, I ran it through the cb and then ran the white craft pad over it. I also sponged the white craft around the edges a bit more and hit it with the colored pencil to bring that color to the edge. Then I used my sponge to blend that in. It's very subtle, but I like the look. I added a little organdy and taffeta ribbon and heated it. What do you think?

It sounds like a lot of work but well worth it when you end up with a card like that. And not quite so messy as the chalkboard - must add it to my to-try list. The background is just amazing.
