A little birdie told me.....

Hi all - Anita here! I had so much fun over the weekend having a play around with my stash of Stuff2Scrap Chippies - Oh what fun! I just got this beautiful Crafters Workshop stencil and couldn't wait to play! Here is what came together... Want to make one too?? I'll show you how I did it!....







First paint your chippy with a base colour. I used cream acrylic paint and put two coats on.....





Then out came my distress inks in colours to match my project.... any type of ink would probably work the same though....





I placed my template over the chippy and applied one colour on the little birds chest and then a different colour on the top .. carefully blending them in the middle.....





Ta da! I inked around the edge too with a darker colour after this step and I did consider covering it with clear crackle paint or dimensional magic but in the end left it.





I hope you grab your Stuff2Scrap chippies and play along with this technique! Have a great day - I'll be back in a few days with some more shares! xox
