Custom Embellishment

Were you ever in need of an embellishment but did not have anything to match? Have you ever had materials you never wanted to use again? Try making a custom embellishment. I have a ton of chipboard that goes with nothing. So I decided to try covering it with gesso a material used to prepare canvas for painting. I took a chipboard circle, covered it in gesso using a paint dabber and let it dry. You can speed up the process with a heat gun. I then used acrylic paint dabbers in two shades of green, let dry, then stamped the word hope in chalk ink. See the completed card on the next post!
