I have a fabulous little tag book that holds all of my "new" techniques. Everytime I learn a new technique I make a mini version of it on a tag & place it in my little book. So, I thought I would share some of these with you on Tuesdays.
I taught a creative chipboard class in Brandon for NSD & I'll start with one of these fabulous & easy techniques. . .
Glittered Chipboard
You'll need: chipboard piece(s), tacky liquid glue and a brush or a glue pad, and your choice of glitter. An additional option would be paint for colour if your glitter is just white or clear.
1. If your glitter is clear, apply a coat of white paint and then a coat of your colour choice onto your chipboard piece.
2. If you have coloured glitter (and once your paint is dried) you can apply a thin and even layer of tacky glue to your chipboard piece.
3. Let the glue get a little tacky & then sprinkle on the glitter. Shake of any excess glitter and if you notice any bald spots, apply a little more glue to that area (with the tip of your brush) and then sprinkle your glitter again. If you don't have glitter, you can also use embossing powder (as shown below).
4. Let it stand to dry. Leave it drying for about 1/2 hour to an hour depending on the amount of glue you applied.
5. Once it is dry you can use it on your layout.
This is a fabulous way to create coordinating pieces for your layouts, cards or other paper crafting pieces.
Happy Scrappin',
Cindy
