Inspired by the celebratory mood I got from this pictures, I created a party hat.
Together with GCD Studios' ChipArt Tools, I created some textures and visual interest.

You too, could re-create this look on your chipboards with these straight forward steps!
1. Stamp chipboard with Ornamental Stamp
2. Here's the FUN part ! Use a Crayon stick and color the debossed chipboard.
Here are some tips to help you along the way
- Use the horizontal side of the crayon for color fill in.
- Choose Darker Color so that the textures will be more evident in later steps.
3. Apply a layer of Stickles onto the chipboard.
With your fingers, blend the liquid and make sure it covers the de-bossed chipboard completely. Let Dry.(I used Metallic Opel White Stickles)
The effect is amazing ! The stickles transformed the original color and makes it more mellow and muted with a metallic tinge.
The liquid stickles blends the crayon and because the stickles are metallic, the finished effect is a little shiny. Perfect for a party ! :)
Here's another tip : you could try to tone down the colors on the chipboard by controlling the amount of stickles used. More stickles dilute the colors and make the colors a little mellow.
Do try it out !
There are so many possibilities to make the Chipboard Art Tools and colors work.
