Ngaire & Kylie both used chipboard in a variety of ways - covered in patterned paper, sanded, inked, and embellished with buttons, embroidery floss, prima flowers and brads. Making your own embellished chipboard accents is a lovely way to add an individual touch to your own layouts and make them unique. You'll find lots of fabulous ideas for creating your own embellishments in Elsie Flanagan's book - 52 Scrapbook Challenges.


Michelle stamped on her chipboard letters with a script style stamp, and then embossed for a beautiful title. (we love this effect!)
