Want to get that stamped and chalked look?  PhotoImpact has some features that make this an easy task to do.

You can start with a simple line clip art that you have, or draw your own using the line tools. 

Open a new blank canvas in PhotoImpact. 

Click the line tool and select the Shape of Spline

Start to draw your lines for the stamp look.  Click where you want to start a curve.

When done with a line, double click to end that line

When done drawing your line art, click on the chalk button.

The tool bar will change to have options for your chalk painting.  You can change the shape of your brush, the color, There are even Presets you can use.  In order to paint, you will need to make sure the Mode button is selected.

Chalking is very similar to your childhood days of coloring with crayons.  The more you brush on the page, the more color you will see.   Click and drag the color on the areas you want to be chalked.  

Change the color as you need to for the different areas of your drawing by clicking the colored square in the tool bar.  When done, save as PNG to use in your layouts.
