TRYING OUT FOR IMAGINARIUM DT CALL

Hello everyone!

i wanted to try out in the IMAGINARIUM DT call

so grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and chillax'

because this will be a long post and

without further ado here are my favorite LO's using chipboards-

1. MUSIC OF MY HEART-in this LO i painted the swirly chipboards

with green acrylic paint and applied glossy accent to it.

 2. YOU ARE THE MUSIC IN ME- another great way of dressing up chipboards

is to cover them with music sheets and apply clear gesso for extra shine

like what i did in the big heart on this lo

 3. SWEET & SILLY- another great way of altering snowflake chipboards

is to again paint them with acrylic paint, rub stickles, top it with

button, and wrapping it with silver twines.

 4. A MOMENT...- here in this layout i used distress ink on the edge, stamp it lightly,

sprayed it with glimmer mist, and added bling in the middle of the butterfly chipboards.

 5. FUNNY FACES- i think this is my favorite way of altering the butterfly chipboards

the first layer i covered the butterfly chipboard with paper, then placing

another butterfly chipboard which i painted with acrylic paint and misted with glimmer mist

on top for some great dimension.

 6. WARM HEARTS FULL OF LOVE- painted the snowflake chipboards again,

applying stickles, and placing a bling in the middle.

 7. STILL IN LOVE- love, love, love alpha chipboards. easy as 1,2,3

painted it with acrylic paint, inked the edges and overlapping

the letters for extra dimension.

 8. SHINE- swirly chipboard- painted with acrylic paint and

applied clear gesso.

 9. SMILE- in this lo i kept one of the frame chipboard plain, inked it a little bit on the edges

but on the other frame chipboard i covered it with doily and applied clear gesso.

10. SANTA'S SWEET ELF-ER - i used the big frame chipboard again painting it

and applying crackle paint to it for texture. and for the snowflake chipboards

i painted the, apply stickles, added strips of papers on the back, and top it off

with brads.

i don't have many chipboards but when i get them i really enjoy

altering and using them in my layouts.

thank you so much for stopping by. have a great day.

Good luck to everyone who applied. i will be crossing all my fingers and toes and

will wait patiently on the result.

hugs & lots of love,

isay :D
