Hello there! It's time for a new CAS-ual Fridays Challenge and this time we'd love to see some chipboard in your clean and simple creations. Let's put that chipboard stash to good use!
CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is sponsoring us this week. Yeah! Head on to the blog to find out about the awesome prize up for grabs.
Ok, so let's talk chipboard... I used it to die cut some cute balloons, and finished them with microbeads. They add such a great texture! The background was made with some reverse masking and the sentiment is from this CFS set. Who said you can't use Christmas stamps all year round? :)
Here's a closer look at the microbeads. I'm specially loving the gold ones!
That's it from me! Check all the wonderful cards the Girl Fridays have created with chipboard to inspire you this week.
Thanks for visiting and happy, happy weekend!
Celebrate card: Cardstock/Canson; Stamp: Casual Fridays; Ink: Tumbled Glass/Distress Ink, Versamagic; Embossing powder: gold/Ranger; Die: balloon/PTI; Microbeads/American Crafts; Other: twine.
