I created this card (http://stamp-shack.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=7910&cat=all&limit=last1) using this technique.
You will need:
* Glossy cardstock
* Alabaster Chalk Ink by Colorbox (the white ink pad)
* Medium colored Chalk Ink by Colorbox (remember to use chalk ink, not pigment ink)
* "Open" background stamp or stamps
* "Open" foreground stamp
* Napkin or paper towel
* Black StazOn (or other dark colored StazOn) ink.
You have to move quickly for this technique, so be sure your supplies are ready to go.
1) Ink up your background stamp very well with the Alabaster Chalk Ink.
2) Stamp firmly on glossy cardstock.
3) Quickly take the medium chalk ink and daub over the stamped background until the area is well saturated.
4) Take your paper towel and quickly wipe off the excess medium chalk ink. You will begin to see the alabaster image "resist" the medium chalk ink.
5) Ink your focal image with StazOn and stamp over the background paper.
6) Create your card front as desired.
