SSNOTIME133***CHIPBOARD CHALLENGE***



I have a box of chipboard that I rarely use. This week's STAMP SIMPLY CHALLENGE is to choose a piece of chipboard that you have and design your card or project around that piece.
If you don't have any chipboard then use a nestabilitie and cut one out of a thicker piece of cardboard or recycle a cereal box or cut it out free hand.

Since it is going to be an absolutely GORGEOUS WEEKEND here in London Ontario for Easter I decided to stay with a spring like theme so I dug down into my box of chipboard pieces and found all these flower shapes. I also used something else I don't use often and that is Adirondack acrylic paint dabbers. I used light yellow and terracotta and dabbed the paint all over the pieces and let them dry.
Then I applied a little glitter on the edges and a gemstone in the middle. Super SIMPLE!!!

My designer paper is from my bit bin, ribbon from PTI and sentiment from PTI as well...
