A Chipboard Birthday Card with Make it Crafty

One of the things I love about Make it Crafty Chippies is that they let me make a really quick card that has a really big impact!


This card was really easy to make. I used Salty Ocean & Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks to colour the card, then ran it through the Shimmering Stars Embossing Folder from Creative Expressions. I used the Platinum All Purpose ink from Stampin Up that I've had in the drawer for ages to add some highlight to the embossed stars. I used an ink dabber to apply it, but next time I may try a brayer as it caught the background a little more than I hoped it would. I added some Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen to the stars to add extra sparkle.


I love the effect I get by adding a double layer of Wow Super Fine Embossing powder to the chipboard. It makes it look almost like molten metal. This is the Wow Metallic Silver Super Fine. I coloured the base layer with B39 Copic.


When I make it next time (yes I'm already planning on making extra versions of this card) I might try edging the card layers with some of the silver, but other than that I really love how this card ended up.
