For my technique showcase this month I have decided to use the Grinning Pumpkins chipboard as a mask first on my background paper.
To do this simply lay your 2 Crafty chipboard design on the paper where you would like the negative to appear and then spritz over is with glimmermist or simular. You can also do this technique using paint flicks or stippling with paint. The bonus is you get a great effect in the background of your layout and your chip piece is coloured up at the same time.
For my layout I have cut one of the Pumpkins of the tree and used it on its own.
Until next time – Susan Longman
