Here is my project for this hop,

I have a confession to make. Although I used a new technique for my project it  wasn't exactly out of my comfort zone. I kind of forgot about that part and to be honest, I'm a little crazy in the craft room so there isn't much out of my comfort zone when it comes to chipboard! I hope that you'll try this technique!


Step One: Paint your chipboard with a layer of gesso or white paint.


Step two: Once your chipboard is dry, stamp it with a script.

Resist technique on chipboard
Step three: Stamp a bold pattern with embossing ink, cover the ink with clear embossing powder and heat set.


Step four: Use a blending tool to apply distress ink to the chipboard.


Step five:  Use a paper towel to remove any ink away from the embossed areas.
Add a little Walnut Stain Distress ink the the edges of your chipboard.
Finish your project with more awesome pieces from Gina's Designs!








Your next stop on the hop is Monica.

  19. Marjolaine, I know exactly what you mean about being a little crazy in the craftroom. I'm willing to try almost anything (as a lot of my clothes can attest). Gesso is awesome! From the first time that I tried it last year, I have never been without a bottle or two! Great project, I love it.
