Quick Tip for the Perfect Paper

I keep quite a store of paper and cardstock on hand, but this weekend as I was trying to make a card, I actually found I didn't have the right paper!  This is the card and here's my tip:

 

I was looking for a background paper for this card with baby blue and a very muted pattern.  All I found in my stash was a very beige and medium blue damask print.  It was close, but really took away from the ribbon flower, and the flower is the star of this card.  So, Prima Chalk Ink to the rescue!  I daubed white chalk ink over the whole background paper and voila! the perfect piece.
