Hi everyone, I have had these gorgeous papers in my stash for years,
I love them so much with the mandala type designs -
I now had the perfect Chipboards to use with them.
My first job was to fussy cut all the beautiful images from the papers
once that was done I began to layer them up, in readiness for assembling on my layout.
Chipboard used:
Aztec Flower Set 1.
2c 4 inch Mandala 3.
2c 4 inch Mandala 1.
Fifi Flourish.
I wanted all the chipboard to colour coordinate with the papers,
so I picked out the gorgeous teal colour.
I didn’t have the exact match of medium so I just mixed a few colours of paint and mists together
until I was happy.
A couple of coats and they were done. I love that these chipboards take anything
you put on them. Even those very delicate Aztec flowers took the paint mix perfectly.
I started to make clusters of the fussy cut and layered paper elements around my layout
then tucked a piece of chipboard in with them.
The Aztec flower chipboards are stunning! - I carefully lifted & shaped the inner section to give
some height and dimension.
I just love the added texture the chipboards give to a layout or project -
the chipboard mandala’s are so beautiful, they would also look fabulous layered up
like the fussy cut paper elements.
Mmmm I feel another project coming on using them this way.
Don’t forget, if you want to colour coordinate your
chipboard but don’t have the right colour, just mix a few colours of mediums up -
I used acrylic paint and mists, it
worked perfectly.
Thanks for stopping by, you can find lots more close-ups of this layout over on my Instagram page
