Hi there! Kelly here, with a quick tutorial and some ideas on how to use your chipboard and the punched out bits from your chipboard shapes in a new way.
"The Best Day Ever"
I decided to use this to create a whimsical layout...I added in some of the "Cloudy Skies" pieces, which I primed with Gesso, then used the same emboss/resist technique as I described above. I fussy cute the photos of my little girls and placed them upon the clouds.
Behind the cloud pieces I tucked away threads, cheesecloth, tissue paper, and pearl flourishes to add to the whimsical feel. Here are some close ups of the finished project:
I added the Best Day Ever title, which was simply embossed with white powder.
The small hearts are also "left over" pieces from the Hearts Panel.
Chipboard Used:
Best Day Ever
Cloudy Skies
along with "punch outs" from...
Quatrefoil Panel
Bits of Honey
Heart Panel
Lattice Gate
Here is another layout I created using a similar background style, once again using "leftovers" from the Quatrefoil Panel, along with the Directions set.
"Three"
Nothing like a cluster of arrows to draw attention to the photo, right?
To add extra texture to the quatrefoil pieces I sprinkled on some white mica fragments, and also dabbed them with a texture medium.
