Hello This Tutorial will teach you how to make chalk text
The final result: (link to larger images:http://www.flickr.co...57626546524818/)

The first step is to make a new layer with a black background(Step to simple to be shown)
Then in a new layer add your background chalkboard


Now make white text on a black background: the less solid you want your text the smaller you make it(for now) later the text will be expanded.



Add noise to the text



Gausian blur at radius 1









And you can adjust the opacity of the color dodge layer to adjust the peak whiteness

There has been a question asked about spray can like paint. You could use this technique to replicate spray paint.

I think lends itself to many other things too.

Very good tute.

UPDATE:
Rather than small text 1 noise and blur Ive found its easier to do this
noise
gausian blur r=1
noise
gausian blur r=1 noise dents scale=4gausian blur 1
(if edges are still to rough: feather selection)
and still use curves and the duplicated layer for tone adjustment




@barbieq25: Im thinking this could be used as a border

[barbieq25]

Oh yeah! Definitely! I'll give this a go for the next time I want a border. I promise!
