Be authentic

Hello everyone,

Today I have a tag to show you :

I have made this tag for you today. The chipboard was simply painted with acrylic paint. 

I used the Dahlia stencil, some thread, book pages, stamping and some butterflies from Tim Holtz. 

The sentiment is by Tim Holtz also. 

I hope you got some inspiration ! 

I used this chipboard:

It is called 'Airmail Border' and you'll find it HERE. 

Also used this stencil :

Christmas Card

Hello friends of UmWowStudio!

I'm here today for show you amazing art with chipboard from UWS!

For my card I have used layered stars. One layer I have covered with white fine embossing powder and stamped with sweet Christmas sentiments. The second layer I have covered with gold holographic embossing powder. Then I have glued both layers together, but not straight. This give the composition some funny touch ;) I have sentiments in german ;) it's means "Advent Season".

Check it out!

Supplies I used:

Layered Stars

Stay creative!

Let the Christmasing Begin

The turkey has been eaten

the pies have been served....

NOW it's time to let the Christmasing begin!

I whipped up some tags to adorn the 

presents I'll be putting under the tree!

I began my creative journey by coloring the tags with 

Distress Oxides.

I used a different technique on each background

I embossed...with colored embossing powder.

 Then I pulled out some "sticky" embossing powder
and added Glass Glitter.

and mica flakes

 Lastly I used a bit of clear modeling past and some Prills.

I then pulled out a bag of

UmWowStudio Christmas Confetti.

 I determined which pieces I wanted to use.

Then I painted the pieces white.

And proceeded to color the Christmas Confetti pieces...

using Distress Oxide..

....and Glimmer Glam

Here are close ups of my finished tags...

Now to wrap those presents I got Black Friday Shoppin!!

Hello everyone,

Today I have made an artjournal for you. I must say I really love the Um Wow Chipboards because they are so sturdy. They stand up to a lot of abuse....

I have also used some (very old) design paper, a paper doll, some lace, paint and fabric for this page. The chipboard was embellished like this :

First I tool the scissors to it as I didn't like the straight edges so I did some trimming. Once I was happy I pressed my VersaMark ink pad onto the chipboard and sprinkled all three colours embossing powder onto it and melted them. 

This is how it came out, quite nice but I decided to sand some of the shine off and get some of the chipboard out again. 

This is the finished result and I really love it.  

A couple of close - ups ...

You can see where the chipboard is peeking through again. 

And this is the finished page ! 

I hope I have inspired you to dust off the chipboards and use them too ! Maybe even to make a card or something ! They are so versatile. 

You will find the Damaged Punchinella background I used HERE

Thank you for stopping by today !
