Good morning and happy Thursday. I've been wanting to alter a clipboard for ages, and now seemed like a good time as the Visible Image Facebook group has a Rainbow challenge, and I knew that I wanted to use lots of bright colours.
I started by sponging my clipboard with all the colour of the rainbow with DecoArt paints.
Then added background stamping with Distress Oxides in the same colour families.
Then more background stamping, this time in black, I've also added some quotes and white paint through a VI stencil.
I couldn't resist some silver embossing too. I love how it's grabbed onto the Distress Oxides too so I have random patches of silver.
And my favourite part, adding oil pastels always seems to make the colours really pop!
Then lots of butterfly stamping and embossing. These have all been made from my bit box - never throw anything away!
And now all put together! Of course, it's useless as a clipboard but it's very pretty lol.
I'm entering my board into the Stamping Sensations challenge which is Somewhere Over The Rainbow.
I hope you have a very happy day, stay safe, and thanks so much for looking x
This is over-the-top fabulous, love it! So colourful and just happy. Hugs, Valerie

ReplyDeleteHow fabulous - the clipboard rainbow background is a stunner, and the bits-and-bobs-butterflies look so happy with their new setting. Glorious silver accents too.
