(Erin) My first Scrap FX post!! + Giveaway! *Updated w/Pic!*

Good evening :). I just had to log on tonight and share with you my very first project for Scrap FX, a newer chipboard manufacturer out of Australia. I was blown away by the generous assortment of fabulous chippies that I received! And I had a great time putting together this bright, fun layout for my beautiful daughter Aspen :). You can see the blog post over at Scrap FX here!

"She"
Scrap FX chipboard used on this layout:

Flourish Frame:
Heartfelt Alphabet, Lowercase:
Doodad G Flourish:
Flourish Tag Set Kraft:
Funky Flower Buttons:
~I painted all pieces of chipboard first with gesso, to give them all a common base.
~To coordinate my title, butterflies, and kraft tag I used 3 different shades of Prima Fluid Chalk Edger Pads: Coltsfoot Stemens, Cold Ice, and Old Rose. I started out by inking the edges and randomly over the tops with the Coltsfoot Stemens (yellow shade), then inked over the tops with Old rose, and finally the edges with the Cold Ice (blue shade). To soften the blue, I went over the top again with the pink & yellow tones. I love how blending several different colors gives you your own, unique result!

Additional Supplies Used:
~Pink Paislee "Spring Jubilee" papers
~
Prima, Petaloo, & Flying Unicorn flowers
~Prima "Black Magic" leaves
~October Afternoon "Farmhouse" cardstock stickers
~Kaiser Craft rub-ons, pearls, & bling
~Ranger Liquid Pearls
~Tim Holtz "Broken China" crackle paint
~Maya Road "Charcoal" & "Lemon Metallic" mists
~Tattered Angels "Inchworm" Chalkboard Glimmer mist
~cheesecloth, burlap twine, paper clip, foam adhesive, gesso

Thank-you SO MUCH for stopping by and having a look at my project!
To celebrate my first post, I'm going to offer up a little giveaway!
All you have to do is: (1) If you're not already, become a follower of my blog, & (2) After leaving a comment here, head on over to my post over at Scrap FX and leave a comment there.

Erin, this is fabulous. Seriously. Fabulous. Love the chipboard and the way you created your own colors and textures on it ( I, too, am a big fan of gesso on chipboards as a base and texturizer). I must head over to Scrap FX and order some of this chipboard bc there isn't a piece you mentioned that I don't love!

Great job!
