CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #94: Chipboard

Click on banner to link to CAS-ual Fridays Challenge blog and many more samples of what to do with chipboard.

This week's challenge is to use chipboard. As I didn't have any in my stash, I went the cupboard route and cut a section out of an almost empty cereal box! The umbrella is a die from Memory Box and I cut five pieces from the box, followed by two pieces from patterned paper (a textured brown and the matching paper with glittery polka dots). Gluing these together makes a wonderfully sturdy chipboard element. One nice thing about this particular die is that it is scored so you can fold back the sides to make the umbrella more three dimensional. This doesn't work so well with regular weight paper but works great with the heavier chipboard. I glued just the bottom part of the handle and the sides when putting it on the card.

I finally got a chance to play with my new Watercolor Wonder set too! This is going to be a really great set!! And lastly I just needed to find a sentiment and decided on this one from Scattered Showers.

Be sure to visit the CAS-ual Fridays store blog too. They are having peeks of their new release. Today are lots of fun new sentiments--so ah-mazing--you won't want to miss it!!!

Wishing you sunshine,

Sharron
