Get Your Creativity On With Chipboard–getting dotty with it
Today is the first in the series of Get Your Creativity On With Chipboard, and today we are going to get dotty with it.
Supplies:
- chipboard
- acrylic paint
- paint brushes
With a damped brush (too much water will warm the chipboard), paint chipboard with acrylic paint. Let dry. Repeat until chipboard is covered well. Let dry. With the tip of your paint brush, dip into the acrylic paint and lightly place a dot onto the chipboard. With each dot, redip the tip of the paint brush into the paint. This will give you even dots. If you would like teeny tiny dots, as seen below, then use the tip of a stylis to create the dots.
This piece of chipboard was painted green, and pink dots were made.
Shh, this recipe is secret, but the secret to making dots isn’t so secret any more.
Everyone loves a good cupcake now and again, and today is no exception. The large dots were created by using the tip of a paintbrush, and the smaller dots were created by using the end of a stylis. A toothpick would work just as well.
Why not create a lacy border. There are so many wonderful colours of paint, try your hand at creating cool chipboard.
Tomorrow I have something special in store for chipboard, so don’t forget to drop by again.
