I am always looking for ways to dress up my chipboard elements. Today I created some fun layers on my chipboard using shades of copper and rose gold. Take a look at how easy it is to achieve, and one surprising fact I discovered in the process.
Step 1
I used rose gold foil, some Celebr8 chipboards and Copper All-Purpose ink.
Step 2
I coloured some of the chipboard elements by using my Fantastix tool and painted a thin layer on top of the chipboard. Some of them I left plain.
Step 3
I scrunched up the foil piece and then foiled the chipboards. The cracks in the foil added a nice layer on top of the naked chipboard pieces, and on the painted pieces it added more shine but also showed a slight contrast in colours.
What did I learn? Having a painted base layer on the chipboard makes the foiling process look even nicer. Using contrasting colours makes for an interesting effect on the chipboard.
Step 4
The end result is an amazing array of different looking elements that can used to add interest to your layouts and mixed media projects.
