Chipboard Letter Techniques
by Tracy
Here are just a few (out of many) techniques for altering your chipboard letters ...
These green letters were "too green" for my layout so I sandpaper some of the colour off, put them through my Tim Holtz Wood Grain Embossing Folder then covered with Clear Rock Candy Crackle Paint ... now they match my layout (which I started about a month ago and still sitting on my table to be finished ... story of my life these days!)
Another example for your page titles is ...
On the scrapware lowercase alphas
ink them in gold,
embossed with walnut stain embossing powder
then covered with Inkssentials Crackle Accent
(this title was for my sign at the expo see a few blog posts back)
and one day I might even get around to put these on the notebooks waiting to be finished!
and now from Jess
Hey there FABULOUS Ladies : )
I thought I would share this lo today with you ....
Want to make a fab chippie title??
Wellllll grab some Scrapware Large Impact Alphas
Splodge over with a Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber
Wait till the paint has dried...lightly sand around the edges.....then doodle on them with an Inkssentials White Opaque Pen
Place on your page......then stitch on with a funky coloured thread....and VOILA!! A fun title....
Love & Peace xox
