2Crafty chipboard.

below is my rustic layout showcasing the divine chippies .

JOURNEY – Destination Unknown

My beautiful  and talented  friend Linda Eggleton very kindly gave me permission

 to use this magnificent photo she took of an old Rustic Railway line.

 Thanks so much Linda , lucky, lucky me .

I knew immediately which chippies I would use

 and I feel this Kaiser Base Coat Collection

 is a perfect marriage with Linda's divine pic.

I decided to go with the Rustic feel throughout the layout ,

 using ink and texture paste to grunge/rust up my metal elements and chipboard.

The chipboard

I love to cut the chipboard into sections.

This achieves two things :

the chipboard goes further

 and also makes it unique to you/ the artist .

Cut The Corner Elegant set  into 4 pieces

Securing  it around the edge of the matted photo,  layering in clusters  with other elements.

Ink with Tim Holtz rusty Hinge distress ink, applied with a sponge

When dry add random soft dabs of black to create an aged look and feel .

The fencing wire panel  is treated with the same technique .

The metal Key and Filigree

Brush with texture paste .

Allow to dry

Dab on Rusty Hinge ink with a sponge

Add tiny dabs of black versa color ink  to the edges.

Layer these elements creating dimension and texture.

When the layout was complete I brushed the chipboard and metal elements

 with two very  thin coats of satin clear finish /JoSonya  .
