Recently I was asked what was my favorite scrapbook embellishment
and it was hard to just pick one!!
So I decided to make a post about one of my favorites, chipboard.

The teacher put the sweater on the floor and told them to jump over it!)

Chipboard is so versatile - you can texturize, emboss,
paint, stain, cover it with paper or glitter; the possibilities
are endless. You can even leave it natural, adding a very earthy feel to it.
Chipboard has gotten quite fancy lately!
You can find beautiful intricate designs in chipboard!
I love that!
Chipboard comes in all shapes and sizes, even letters.
I love that you can change the color to what suits your needs -
I tend to like the browns myself!
Here is a layout that I had finished but felt it needed a little something more.
I added the chipboard gate and there it is! The perfect touch - I like it much better now!
I colored this chipboard with my
Gelatos!
(No surprise there! LOL!)
Here the chipboard needed to stay neutral for the multicolor background!
A little shading goes a long way.
Now I could not talk about chipboard without throwing
You can always over chipboard with paper.
These little hot air balloons were naked chipboard too -
I painted them, added Glossy Accents & a little bling.
All the butterflies on this canvas are chipboard - even her wings!
They have been painted, manipulated, embossed and glittered!
This bumble bee was naked chipboard too!
I loved making that stain glass look!
The bird was naked too - how fun is that?
You know I love my Gelatos and PITT Artist pens!
Of course you can always cut your own chipboard,
there are so many dies available nowadays!
Oh did I forget stamping?
You can stamp, run it through a corrugated brayer and ink chipboard.
As you can see the possibilities are endless!
See why I love chipboard?
I hope this gives you some ideas!
I am so thankful for products that enhance my creativity!
Speaking of being thankful don't forget about my
