Royal Bird Frame - One Chipboard For Two Layouts

Adding chipboard pieces to your pages and projects are a sure way to add that wow factor. These beautiful laser cut pieces come in small sizes, medium sizes, and some come in a size that can almost cover your entire 12 x 12 layout. Some people have a hard time using these larger pieces. I would like to share with you how I used one large piece (Royal Bird Frame) in not one layout, but in two single pages!

I cut the chipboard in two pieces and used it as :

1. At the top part of the page. I wanted it to look like it was part of the background so I coated it in white gesso. I adhered it to the page then misted both the chipboard and the page with pink mist. That way it seems to pop up because of its dimension, yet still blend in because of the colors.

2. Next, I used the bottom part and then added a Twiggy Branch just right where I cut the Royal Bird Frame. I covered the areas which were cut with embellishments so that the viewer can not really tell where the chipboard piece ends.

Before, I end my post for the month, here is another layout using one more of the larger chipboard designs from Blue Fern Studios... The Sweetheart Dress Form...

I hope these pages will inspire you to use your larger pieces in a different way. You can always cut-up pieces and combine them with other chipboard pieces to make a design that is unique and truly your own.

Have a creative day everyone!

A Moment In Time With Blue Fern

Hello scrappy friends! Svetlana is here to share with you some more of Blue Fern goodness.

Do you enjoy all the inspiration from our designers? I hope so. On our side, we surely enjoy working with all the amazing chipboard designs Blue Fern Studios bring on.

My first project for today is a layout I created with some cute photos of my son.

"A Moment In Time" Layout

I used a packaging paper from Blue Fern chipboard as a base of my layout. Those papers have very pretty design on it and you surely will not want to thorough it away!

I used A Moment In Time phrase piece, Twiggy Branch and a bird from Icons Set One.

To decorate my chipboard, first I primed it with gesso. After that I covered it with crackle paint. To be honest I wasn't after the cracks, I just wanted this particular color. Next I added some red glitter glue and a layer of glossy accent to the bird and the title. The branch I left in matte. I darkened it a bit with some black ink.

My second project is an altered 3D frame.

Here I used Country Picket Fence and Organic Vine Corner.  

I covered the fence with dark brown ink and then added some more black ink here and there. After that I covered it with a layer of glossy accent.

I cut the vine in half to create 2 beautiful flourishes. I inked it in the same way I did with the fence. I sprayed some Perfect Pearls over it to add a little bit of green shimmer. I finished it with a layer of glossy accent.

I think that it is very easy but effective way to dress your chipboard.
