Lovely {Paper Issues Getting Chippy Challenge}

Paper Issues has SO many fun challenges, and having extra time to scrap during the summer, I naturally want to play in all of them! I was indecisive, so I asked Kelly and Devra during their live scrap & chat yesterday morning to assign me a challenge, and they told me to play in the "Getting Chippy" challenge, which asks us to stop hoarding our chipboard and use it!

I came across a full sheet of My Mind's Eye On Trend chipboard, and the colors perfectly matched a photo I had sitting on my desk, so here's what I created:

Here are some details. I have a 6 x 6 pad of this On Trend collection, which is where that "Today is the Best..." cut-apart came from. I added those rhinestones, which are super old, at the last minute. The flowers, tag, and heart in the image below are all from the  On Trend chipboard sheet. 

For the background, I applied Heidi Swapp Colorshine in peach and mint using the packaging technique. I then used a Kaisercraft stencil and texture paste to add some dimension.

The leaves are die cut from a die by Simply Graphic, a Fench company. I added the flower brads at the last minute to give those chipboard flowers a little more interest. The "lovely" title is also from the On Trend chipboard set. I stamped the punched butterflies with a scripty text font.

I hope you'll come play along with some of our wonderful challenges at Paper Issues, and be sure to share them in the Paper Issues Friends & Fans Facebook group for a chance to win a gift certificate to the Paper Issues shop, and while you're there getting some of the latest and greatest products, you can get 20% off your entire order by using my code, Debbi (no e on the end).
