Words or Whatever Chipboard Debut!

I've been stalking my mailman for days, and finally my much anticipated box of chipboard from Wow -Words or Whatever  arrived.  I immediately sat down and started playing with all of the goodies.  If you are not familar with this line, you need to check it out! They have a wonderful selection of chippies - and an incredible line of heavy duty templates - AltaMATZ.  If you are looking for a source in the US - I noticed that Lindy's Stamp Gang has a nice selction!

This is a picture of me and my sister (about 40 years ago - yikes!) For the base, I misted the corners using the AltaMATZ 6 x6 Doily Corner .  The title was painted with gesso, and then spritzed and glazed with Glimmermist and Glimmer Glaze. My flourish was inked with Clearsnap Chalk ink, and then I stamped the background with a script stamp Hampton Arts/Graphic 45 Ladies Diary 1.

The flowers were stamped with the Hampton Art/ Doodlebug Sweet Background.

Be sure and check out the Wow - Words or Whatever Blog - for tons of lovely inspiration.  Our challenges will be starting back next month, so you might want to stock up now, so you will be ready to play along.

Stamp the Meldious Songbird on Cryogen White paper.  Position Spellbinders Labels 28, so that the branches fill the label (the bird's head will be off of the label), and cut.While the paper is still in the die, ink the entire space using the  ink, then color the leaves and flowers using Copics. Remove the stamped image, and ink over the entire paper with  ink (going into the white border area as well).  Stamp another image of the bird and color and fussy cut.  Use dimensional foam to attach to base image. Add a small pearl for the eye. Stamp 7 of the smallest Posy Patch flowers and cut with the corresponding die.  Ink the edges with the blue ink.  Shape the petals and add to the base image.  Tuck small die cuts from the Layered Scalloped Posy die behind each side of the label 28, and mount on a rectangle of patterned paper.  Tuck the corner of the Decorative Blossom Corner underneath the bottom of the rectangle and add a bow.  Mount onto a 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" piece of dark blue patterned paper and attach to a 6" x 6" cream card base.
