FLOURISH ORNAMENTAL

It’s Susan … and I have a little technique for altering your chipboard to share this time.
For my layout I have used the FLOURISH ORNAMENTAL - Product Code: C176 and have used a reverse embossing technique. To get the same effect you need follow these steps.
1. Colour your entire chipboard piece in permanent ink or pen (I have used a permanent marker in black for mine.)
2.Run your chipboard piece through the Cuttlebug (or simular machine) I have used a large polk-a-dot embossing folder for mine… use this upside down so the dots are pressing in rather than raised.
3. Using versa watermark ink cover the raised area with the medium and then sprinkle over with clear embossing powder
4. Melt the embossing powder with a heat gun and set aside to dry.
5. Spritz with Calico Shine (Mr. Hueys) and wipe over with a rag to expose the glossy areas.
Hope you like the technique it is super fun to do and gives your chipboard an aged effect. Here is my layout and a couple of close ups for you… and YES it is an old school negative strip on the page circa 2003ish…if you have one I challenge you to use it on a layout soon.

im back..........

...and so excited

hey all...San here for my first 2012 post for WOW.

I am so excited about what new wonderful designs that WOW are starting to make, also how good is this new dt and inspiration teams...too exciting to be part of such a great Aussie company.

So to start the year, I am showing a new WOW title, that I have used with photos of my POD fishing just before christmas this year.

I found some awesome acyrlic paint crayons at my local craft supply store and i have been having heaps of fun with them. The crayons are lushious and thick and cover the chipboard beautifully and they can also be used lightly, as i have done to highlight the edge of the word 'sinker' on the title.

As I do....there are circles, I love the chipboard circle sets from WOW, so many different sizes and they can be used in so many ways. Here I have used dimentional paint and added dots around the edge of the circles and then used a heritage ink over the top.

I have printed the photos in 2ups, so i can add more shots of his fun day at the lake. Added a circle of silver brads and used A lil something banner . I have also added a loop of wire and a cute pin.

It is hard when scrapping boys sometimes to find suitable embellishments, circles work for me, try a few yourself and find ways to make them yours!

and.......a little reminder to you all............The WOW and your LSS is combining to have an awesome promo.....so get into the lss, buy some WOW, get your free heart and upload your layouts to win fabulous chipboard prizes.

have lots of chippie fun...see you soon

Inspiration Post--- from our Inspiration Team

Just thought I would share with you some of the projects that our Inspiration Team have been creating lately with the fabulous chipboard here at WOW.

 

Here are some words straight from Monique as to how she created this layout!

“Precious Boy  I've used the Vine Set RWL367 and the Alphabet - Block Capitals C1388.  I painted them with white paint, then used some Tattered Angels Glimmerglam to blend the pieces into the colours of the layouts.”

 

Lisa has created this beautiful Family layout with Vine Set RWL367. Look at how she has used 2 colours blended to alter this piece….clever

 

Kaitlynne has used one of the birds out of C996 Bird pack Of 3 and one of the many decorative flourishes available, and has altered them only just slightly with some brown ink to give them a shadow effect.

Hope that these Layouts have given you some MOJO….happy Scrapping

WORDS OR WHATEVER

Step by Step

Hi Guys it’s Em here sharing with you a step by step of a layout I created using some beautiful WOW chippy.  A simple way of dressing up your chipboard is to ink it or colour it in, its quick and easy and mess free, this is all I have done to my WOW chippy for this layout.

My Chipboard pieces for this Layout -

Classic Lowercase alphabet (C1385), Decorative Fence small (C1246), Small bird pack (C999), Scroll 13 (RWL131)

1. start with your background paper & trim the  brand strip off.


2. Using a stampin up spritzer and a texta spritz onto your background paper. (or you could use mist etc)

3. Cut pattern paper 18.5cm x 17.5cms with a torn bottom.  Distress & ink edges

4. Adhere to background paper roughly 4cm from left side & 7cms off the bottom.


5. Distress edges of photo with sandpaper and adhere onto pattern paper

6. Ink fence chipboard & adhere below the photo


7. Ink Scroll, outline with white pen & adhere on top of fence

8. Adhere flower on to the flourish

9. Colour bird and adhere to fence opposite side of the scroll

10. Colour alphabet letters & adhere where you want it, I have chose to pop it on the bottom of the fence.

11. Complete rest of title with alphabet stickers, I have used October Afternoon.

12. Add Journal block & Journaling

13. Finish off the layout by adding a couple of embellishments to the scroll cluster, I have used some flowers and a charms creation doily

Here is the finished layout.

I hope this has shown you that simple & easy can be just as effective as messy & complicated!
