Hello Trixie fans! Scrap Star Trista here! Let’s talk chalk!

It is fairly simple to create a chalked edge look in Photoshop. Please note that I am using Photoshop 7 and am not exactly sure of how this translates in other programs. Today we are going to add a chalked edge to a paper strip to give it a worn look.

1. Be sure the item you want to apply chalk to is on a separate layer.

2. Click on the effects button – aka “Add a layer style icon” (black circle with an f in the center) in the bottom of your layers palette.

3. Select the Inner Glow option. A new menu will appear.

• Color – Select any color for the chalked edge
• Opacity – Adjust how visible the chalked edge will appear
• Noise – Adjust the amount of texture (more noise increases the grainy appearance)
• Source – Select Edge
• Choke – Adjust the base (or boundaries) of the chalked edge
• Size – Adjust the amount of the chalked edge to blur.

Easy Peasy right? Here is the end result using the settings from above.
