It's in the details - Hilde Aaslund's May reveal

Hi!

 

It's Hilde Aaslund here. I often look at other scrapper's work, bot to admire, to get inspiration from or to learn from - or all of it. It's not always obvious what makes some creations stand out from the rest, it can be a striking color combo, a general design, a perfect photo et etc, but one thing they have in common is that there are some details that emphasizes the hearts of the creations. Chipboards are perfect for creating those details.

 

Some times you don't need huge chipboards on a creation - they can be too much - but other times the large ones are just what you need. Or a mix can be perfect. In the Memory Maze shop you find both small and large chipboards, and today I'm going to focus on the smaller ones - the micros and ATC sized items - and show how you can use them on different kind of creations. As a bonus I will also show a project made for the challenge blog The Studio Challenges, which Memory Maze is sponsoring in May

 

 

Let's start with a collection of three ATC sized samples I have put together from small size chipboards - these will be used for an ATC, a tag/card and a layout.

Products used:

My background is stamped, inked and doodled, the chipboards painted with acrylic paint.

Oh, no! (Layout)

 

There is a lot of white-tailed deers where I live. As my gardens is fenced, just a low fence so my dogs can run free in it, they usually don't visit us. Spring this year must have been tought on the deers with lots of ice on the ground, making it hard to find anything eat, becuase they decided to pay my garden a visit - and they ate the pancies I had on a table next to the kitchen window.

Additional Memory Maze products used:

Polaroid Just You (blank)

 

I covered the polaroid frame with a light patterned paper to add more interest and added a ribbon as decoration as well as bling, but except for this my layout is pretty simple

 

Other Products: Harmonie papers, Petaloo bling, AC ribbon, cheesecloth (unknown provider)

 

 

 

I hope this post so far have given you some ideas on how to use small chipboards on different kinds of projects.
