Grateful - with Emma

Hello to you wonderful 2Crafty friends,
 hope your all enjoying those Sunday vibes!
Today I have another layout to share with you all using some more awesome chippy.


Chipboard used....

Grateful word
Fern leaf set
Foliage set 1
Mini flourish Bits

My chipboard this time has a couple of different finishes.
The Fern leaves have had a rust effect applied to them in the colour tones to compliment the image and papers.


Once dried I rubbed a little wax to add a few 'shimmer' highlights.


For the swirls I applied the good 'ol technique of emboss powder. With delicate flourishes like these, I find emboss powder the best.


Emboss powder sticks well to even the finest pieces of the flourish.


I went heavy with the rust paste on the foliage pieces to really get that texture through.
Love the way the chipboard looks with this medium.


The title word has also got the paste finish on it but this time I dabbed acrylic paint over the top and rubbed a little more wax for highlights.

I love how you can mix and match all these elements and they just work, complimenting each other.
And Chipboard that allows all these heat treatments and wet mediums to be applied is brilliant! 

This is what makes scrapbooking a fantastic craft! 

I will see you all again soon, thanks for visiting today and I hope you have a great weekend.

Em xx
