ABAC Color Challenge {New Stamps!}

I've been toying around with the idea of entering the Gallery Idol competition and so picked up a few new birthday stamps..

..it just so happened my ABAC (Anything But A Card) challenge was due, so I picked up my smash style journal and got to experimenting with my new stamps!! Challenge #19 is about COLOR inspiration!

So along with my Viva Las VegaStamps! rubber stamps I also got out my Glimmer Mists by TA, my Punchinella by Gauche Alchemy, Ribbon by May Arts, and my Distress Markers and Inks by Ranger.

I'm not sure exactly if I'll be entering the Gallery Idol challenge yet, but it was fun to play with stamps outside of my comfort zone :)

An Altered Tray!

Hello dear friends! Today I have a project to share with you, not quite chipboard related but still very pretty to look at! 

Here is an Altered Tray in a very nautical theme!

The tray is from 7gypsies, the paper, tape and enamel dot are from Teresa Collins. I used Viva Las VegaStamps! Crown and Chevron banner, MME's Epoxy Brad, American Crafts pearl brad and wood grain thickers, Ranger's Stormy Sky distress stain, Amazing Mold Putty resin pelican from the previous UmWowStudio handmade embellishment kits, and from my stash: Floral beads, twine, cheese cloth, dymo label maker and a cork. 

You can get a quick tutorial on fitting paper inside little glass bottles on the CropChocolate blog post HERE.

I've been lucky enough to have been asked to inspire people at Anything But A Card!!! So you can see my piece for the ABAC Challenge #17!
