Well the day has finally arrived! The summer issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today is now available in all it's downloadable glory! You can find it HERE!
In my column, Designer's Notebook I explored a few uses for one of my favorite crafting items...CHIPBOARD!!! I LOVE the stuff! It offers a whole world of technique possibilities! Chipboard is sturdier than paper and will receive paint, ink and other wet substrates so much better then paper!
Here are a few close up shots of the projects I created...
I used these awesome cloud chipboard pieces from Studio Calico to create a masked background and then layered the actual piece on top with foam squares. Great way to use your spray inks and left over chipboard shapes.
I love the Pink Paislee Mistable chipboard buttons and the backing once they are popped out makes for a great mask!!! I sprayed some ink to create a funky pattern and then layered my Love Notes background stamp from Stamping Bella on top.
Here is a close up of the gessoed tree from Harmonie.
A closer look at the heat embossed flowers from Maya Road.
