Scrapping Outback: Chime in with Chipboard Blog Hop

Welcome to the

“Chime In With Chipboard” Blog Hop!

If you arrived here from Kim’s blog

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

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

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:

This is one way which I really like to alter chipboard. It's great for adding texture and interest and the colours can easily be altered to suit any project. 

Today I thought a little something more on the grungy side would be a nice effect to show you.
You will need the following: 

Ink - I used VersaMagic Oasis Green  and Prima Brick Wall

Distress Stain - I used Peacock Feathers

Distress Paint Tarnished Brass or Aidrondack Metallic Gold Paint Dabber

Twinklets Diamond Dust

Heidi Swapp Color Shine - I used Georgia Peach

Clear Drying Glue

I am showing this technique using Twiddleybitz Chipboard BOR009 Flourish Spray Border.  

Dab Oasis Green Ink over the chipboard piece and allow to dry.

Go over the piece with Peacock Feathers Distress Stain. You may like to give the piece a couple of applications depending on the depth of colour. 

Randomly dab Brick Wall ink over the piece and allow to dry.

Apply some wet clear drying glue over some of the areas. Sprinkle with diamond dust. Tap off the access and allow to dry.
**Improvise with chunky glitter if you don't have diamond dust**

 Spray over the applied diamond dust with color spray and allow to dry. A couple of applications may be needed again depending on the depth you want to achieve.


Dab a little Tarnished Brass Distress Paint around the edges and randomly over the top. Metallic gold paint also looks terrific.
Dab a little more Peacock Feathers Distress Stain over some of the diamond dust.

 Your piece is now ready to be incorporated into your crafting project.

Now for a project share showing a similar effect which I have done on a Twiddleybitz Diamond Multi Photo Overlay: 

Try adding a little embossed detail- a texture stamp, Versmark, heat gun and copper UTEE Embossing Powder will achieve a similar effect. Do any embossing before adding the diamond dust and color spray.

Back in the Scrapping Outback House....

For the month of June.

You can check out my little interview HERE. But make sure you come back - I need to tell you about the Scraplift challenge and Blog Hop event later this week.

This is the layout of mine which I picked for this month's SCRAPPING OUTBACK scraplift challenge - I made this at a time last year when my Dad was extremely unwell. The photo has been taken off a slide and is of my Dad with my brother and I at a  much younger time. Sunday's always were family time and often spent driving somewhere for a picnic.

My father has always enjoyed listening Celine Dion's music and it seemed appropriate to take inspiration from the lyric of her song 'Because you loved me' for this project. I might also add that it was also the same song playing one day as I was heading to the hospital to visit him.

ScrapCake papers were combined with a medley of Prima blooms and Twiddleybitz chipboard. 

If you are up for the challenge check out  the details for the Scrapping Outback June 13 Scraplift Challenge HERE. Can't wait to see where the inspiration takes you all.

Scrapping Outback: My Scraproom Rules Quick Fire Challenge

Greetings!!

We have announced the first 'QUICK FIRE' challenge in the Scrapping Outback Forum. Check out the challenge requirements HERE.

This is just a little a little warm up appetiser to get you in the mood before the Scrapping Outback 'My Scraproom Rules' competition officially kicks off on the 16th May. The 'cook down' time is not long now - make sure you register HERE before the 16th May 2011.

This is my take on the Quick Fire Challenge

I have combined Kaisercraft's Nan's Favourites Collection and Utensil Wood Flourishes to create this cute apron.

The apron sits on an altered Kaisercraft Layout Stand.
