They have a huge assortment of
gorgeous chipboards and it was not easy to decided
I adore
Creative Embellishments because they fit into creative work in so many ways. You can work with colors, structures and effects, but also stamping, or work with embossing powder or embossing folders.
What should I choose???
The chipboards give the project the special touch with a great 3D effect.
They are wonderful craft items to
work with!
Here is what I have chosen to make with these beautiful embellishments :-)
I decided to work with a lot of Steampunk chipboards
Inventive genius and adventurous romance are what makes Steampunk so
very special and exciting to me. I hope you will be inspired by this paradox and magical
world too!
I started with a gift box from which I cut out a window.
From an old gift box to a shadow box - Recycling is in !! -
The background was designed with stamps, multi-coloured stamp pads and distress color
At the beginning I primed the chipboards with white acrylic paint
The Chipboards are made of sturdy cardboard, which is ideally suited for embossing.
It creates interesting structures, which can be emphasized with metallic effects.
You can also stack the chipboards
Different tones and effects often appear better in the sunlight ;-)
I had so much fun and joy when experimenting and I advise everybody to try it yourself,
There are so many things you can do with embellishments. What will you do with them?
