Clipboard Fun

I had so much fun making this project! I used cut out key from Cricut. A pear stencil from Dreamweaver, cool papers, colorful flowers, great brads and embellishments!!! So here is what I did.... Step 1 was to find a clipboard. I then found some cool paper at my local store...Scrapbook Generation. I then put my adhesive on the board and put down one sheet on the front.

Step 2 I had to do a little cut out on the top of the board with the coordinating paper. I needed all the paper to overlap to the back of the clipboard so i could tuck it under the back panel of paper. I also had to miter the corners.

Step 3 Start the decorating. I distressed/aged the outside of the clipboard. I used strips of paper ribbon to decorate...glitter glue. I took the plain white flowers and tinted and dyed and the flowers up and then threw them in the microwave to dry them out. I then tried to flatten the flowers out some and layered them and put them together with brads.


Step 4 I pile more on with the great pear stencil and embossing paste! I tinted the paste just a little then used colored glitter to add the leaf color and shimmer to the pear.


Step 5 Adding a little ribbon to the top that has rosettes. Just made it perfect!


I hope you all enjoyed this post!
Happy creating!
