Black Magic technique has been around for years, and I just thought it would be fun to bring it back to life.  Although, I was reminded of it on one of Gina K designs FB lives recently.  Here is a post I did back in 2017 with a video.. ... but I know it goes back farther than 2017.  I did a google search and found the Black Magic technique going back to 2010 but I think it goes back father.

Basic instructions:
1.  stamp solid style images onto black cardstock with white pigment ink.  Let it dry.
2.  add color over pigment ink with color pencils.
3.  add dots, dashes or doodles with white gel pen.

below is just information for sending envelopes through the mail.
