Crazy for Chipboard was the name of the class sponsored by Paper Crafts Magazine. We made this cute card on the left. I omitted the sentiment which was stamped in pink up the upper left corner because the ink looked too light to me. The chipboard flower was painted using pink acrylic paint. We applied it with a make-up sponge, the triangular kind, which really made the job easy. Then we stamped the green dots on the dried chipboard in green pigment ink. Very cool technique, which I had to try with my stuff this week. On the right is the July 4th card that matches the weekly layout. The big star is chipboard. No makeup sponges in the cupboard, so I just "smoshed" (that highly technical verb) the Brilliant Blue Craft Pad all over the star. I let it dry and then stamped the stars in White Craft Ink.
Thanks for visiting this week. I'd love to hear your comments about the projects. Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

What happens when you get a bunch of ladies stamping cards on a Thursday morning? Really cute New Baby greetings, that's what! Thanks gals for inspiring me on this one. Here's how it turned out. I'm still sold on the Nestabilities (the large yellow scallop) and the All in the Family set (I finally used it!) was so much fun. Here's the recipe:
