Scrapping Outback Blog Hop

Welcome to the

“Chime In With Chipboard” Blog Hop!

If you arrived here from Joanne’s blog

(http://scrappinforme.blogspot.com.au/)

You are on the right track! You are now at Tina’s blog!

I have a special giveaway on my blog so make sure you read all the way to the end. 

We are hopping from blog to blog to learn all about chipboard and to get inspired with awesome tutorials and layouts loaded with chippies!

So let’s start with a tutorial:

 I used the gorgeous Twiddleybitz Christmas Flourish and Stars chipboard for my layout.  And even though it's not a Christmas layout the chipboard still suits my page.

Instructions for altering chipboard.

1.  Cut your chipboard as required. 

2.  Sponge Gesso over the chipboard to create texture and provide a white surface so your colours are bright and clean.

3.  Paint chipboard with a pearlescent paint such as Perfect Pearls or iridescent medium.

4.  Decorate with rhinestones and pearls. 

5.  Add different glitters to various areas of the chipboard.  I used Glass Glitter on the baubles and a fine glitter on the flourishes.

6.  Cover the fine glitter with Dimensional Magic, this will really make your glitter pop, and enhance the sparkle.

Our fabulous sponsors are donating beautiful prize packs!

Playing in the Secret garden

Hi everyone, it's Tina here 

with a layout to show you using the beautiful Graphic 45 Secret Garden range.  

This layout came together so easily using the fabulous "seed packets" and journal blocks on the May Flowers paper.  

I created a flower cluster adding antique bronze leaf charms and brown charming bouquet pin and a Laughter Charming Word embellishment which serves as my title.

Added gorgeous my2angels gardenias and cherry blossoms

 I created tears in my paper so the base sheet of patterned paper shows through .

Happy scrapping,

Tina

Secret Garden and My 2Angels

Hi Everyone.

Tina here today, 

playing with the gorgeous Graphic 45 Secret Garden Papers, creating two simple, yet appealing layouts.

For the first, I whitewashed the background paper inside my frame to soften it a little.  Do this by using watered down paint, or apply your paint with a wet sponge. (Gesso also works for this if you thin it down a lot with water.)

The Twiddleybitz chipboard leaves were inked to achieve a two-tone effect and the gorgeous flowers were layered amongst the large filigree flower and charms.  

I cut the gold flower chain into single flowers, adding them here and there and embellished the pennants with gold rhinestone cup chain.

 The chipboard banners were covered with patterned paper.

To make the edges of the banner 'pop', ink them with a contrasting, yet coordinating ink.

I made this second layout with some of my scraps, using a sheet of cardstock as my base. Combining several Glimmermist colours and a Twiddleybitz Chicken Wire stencil, adds some shimmer and sparkle to the cardstock base.

To get a more subtle effect, hold your mist bottle further away from the paper when spraying.

Lots of fussy cutting and layering of pattern paper flowers give the layout all the interest it needs.

Don't forget to put some of the fussy cut flowers up on pop dots to give your arrangement some dimension.

Check out the Graphic 45 Secret Garden range at my2angels, it's perfect for soft, pretty layouts.

I'm also very excited to be doing a class by Donna Salazar at The Art Studio.  It's a mixed media 3D canvas!  Go and check it out and while you're there make sure you sign up for the newsletters from Scrapbook News and Review as they have amazing prizes up for grabs during the next few weeks for their anniversary celebrations.

Scrapping my stash!

My entry for the Scrap Our Stash challenge which was to use Kraft and at least three metal embellishments.  I'm also entering it into Kristi B's challenge to use masking or stencilling.

 

I've used Twiddleybitz Chicken Wire stencil, Fern Leaves, and Itty Bitty Alphabet.

Smile!

My entry for the "Keeping-the-best" challenge this month!  I loved their sketch so stuck pretty closely to the original design.  They have some amazing examples and entries on their blog , so make sure you have a look at all the eye-candy!

I've used chipboard and stencil by Twiddleybitz.

Twiddleybitz and 7 Dots Studio

 This is one of my favorite layouts, using 7 Dots Studio paper and Twiddleybitz chipboard and stencils.  I made the heart embellishment myself.

I hid my journalling, which tell of how proud I am of my daughter's achievements in her last year of Primary school.  This allowed my extra room to write, without taking away from the design of the layout.

Thanks for looking, I'd love you to leave me a comment to say hello!
