AiFactory Challenge 12: Use Chipboard!





Hello there AiFactory fans! Today's Tuesday and you know what that means! Another challenge brought to you by the lovely team of AiFactory! Whoo hoo! This week we are working w/ chipboard! Any kind of chipboard, any way you want to use it! And any image too! Doesn't matter! And what can you win?! Well, a MONTH FREE FOR KIT CLUB! How cool is that?! WAY COOL! Because there's always a bunch of sets in each kit!

So, go and make your chipboard project and link it back to the challenge blog here: http://aifactorychallenges.blogspot.com/

This candle was SO cool to make! I taped a sheet of tissue paper to a plain old piece of typing paper. I put it in my printer, resized my wings, and printed the wings directly onto the tissue paper! If you tape your tissue paper onto the typing paper, then your image will print perfectly! The tissue paper won't get all messed up in your printer! Talk about a nightmare that would be! LOL! Anyway, then I took my tissue paper, and cut it to the size I needed to fit onto the candle. I then placed the tissue paper on the candle and positioned it, and then turned on the heat! Heat gun, that is! I melted the tissue paper into the wax of the candle! Kind of like a tattoo for your candles! I added sticker pearls for the body, as well as the chipboard "E". The chipboard "E" is from a chipboard alphabet that I am hoarding! I inked it in Brilliance Graphite Black, and didn't ink up the entire thing, just parts of it. I adhered the "E" to the candle using glue dots.
Go and see what my fellow team members have created!
De, Lola, Kerry, Sherri, Carole, and Angie

Have a STAMPTASTIC day!!!!
