Here is my project for this hop,
I have a confession to make. Although I used a new technique for my project it wasn’t exactly out of my comfort zone. I kind of forgot about that part and to be honest, I’m a little crazy in the craft room so there isn’t much out of my comfort zone when it comes to chipboard! I hope that you’ll try this technique!
Step One: Paint your chipboard with a layer of gesso or white paint.
Step two: Once your chipboard is dry, stamp it with a script.

Step three: Stamp a bold pattern with embossing ink, cover the ink with clear embossing powder and heat set.
Step four: Use a blending tool to apply distress ink to the chipboard.
Step five: Use a paper towel to remove any ink away from the embossed areas.
Add a little Walnut Stain Distress ink the the edges of your chipboard.
Finish your project with more awesome pieces from Gina’s Designs!

Love your project! It came out great, and I love the techniques.
Marjolaine, I know exactly what you mean about being a little crazy in the craftroom. I’m willing to try almost anything (as a lot of my clothes can attest). Gesso is awesome! From the first time that I tried it last year, I have never been without a bottle or two! Great project, I love it.
Awesome creation! I have never used gesso…gasp!
