Best of my chipboard projects for 2011

2011 is almost over and this is a summary time. So this a very first summary post I made  to showcase my own most favorite projects and this time those are my Chipboard  ones. The  push to begin it early this year came form this Imaginarium chipboard company DT call and as  I decided to try it (chipboards, my love!) and they asked for 10 most favorite  chipboard projects- this was a great place to start my summary posts. So let's begin !

Project 1:

Altered mini printers tray: the tray is a chipboard and a lot of inside and ourside elements are made with chippies too
I love this project for days spent to make it. The whole tray and a cover are bare chipboards, the cirle frame made with inks and distress 3d glaze, the inside chips covered with distress paints and 3d glazes

Project 2: Mom to be

I love this lo for the great DDIL photo of my very fist grandson born 1/1/11 and for all kinds of chipboard uses: stamped and inked leaves, UTEE over ink title and alteration of English spelling I did, alteration with felt flowers and partial inking of bare letters

Project 3: So special

I like thid project for the use of a bare chipboard as a mask with mists and then using it as is - misted and colored. The title was made using the negative too- misted and faux stitched and the positive was covered with white enamel paint 

Project 4: Fall banner

This project was made on a chipboard banner base- 2 layers and then another  chip shapes added- the cage and the bird. I made a whole tutorial for this project- can be seen on my Tutorial page
