Believe in Tomorrow

I do 'Believe in Tomorrow'!
Though this ChalkArt was not my original ideal...


I found this idea in a magazine recently
but forgot the name of the magazine. 
The trick to getting your chalk art to look dark and good is to wet the chalk for a second under running water. When you use this wet chalk, it will look pale and kind of weird, but as it dries right before your very eyes, it will keep darkening and turn out great!
This paper wreath was made using a leaf punch.
The flower is a design from SilhouetteAmerica 
with a button center.
