When Opportunity Knocks…

by Misty

Hi!  Misty  here to share my first Scrap Fx post with you.  I’ve created a layout loaded with awesome Scrap FX chippy’s.  I’d been drooling over the door since the first time I saw it on the website so I couldn’t wait to use it!
Chipboard list:

For the background I used lots of gesso, DIY mists, and clear gel medium over pvc punchinella.

I embossed the chicken wire in silver and then used walnut distress ink to give it a rusty look.

 I painted the banner with copper paint and added some silver embossing around the edges of the flags.

Its been mentioned in some of the other posts, but I want to stress again how durable these chippy’s really are.  I tend to be one that layers on the paints, mists, and other mixed media mediums when I create, and that includes my chippy’s.  I put them through TONS of abuse and they always stay strong through the process.  They truly are the perfect embellishments for any page!

 I hope I’ve inspired you to go get your hands on these chippy’s and see what you can do with them!
