Our Creative Corner Saturday Challenge ~ Chipboard!!!

Good Morning!!!
It's Saturday again and that means another OCC challenge! Today's challenge is to use chipboard! I don't use chipboard that often although this doesn't mean that I don't OWN 5 million pieces of it and dust it off every once in a while and think....hmmm.... I should really use some of that chipboard!!!! Here is my card ~

The base of my card is Morning Glory cardstock which I cut using my largest scalloped square Nestability. The top piece is a piece chipboard that already had the circles in it. I covered the chipboard using the decorative "water" paper and a glue stick. I sanded the outside edges and used a hobby blade to first cut the circles out and then used a nail file to sand the inside of the circles. I added Stardust Stickles on the "waves". I stamped the fish 6 times using Basic Black ink and cut out 3 of them. I colored the fish with Green Galore and Bashful Blue ink and a blender pen. The yellow fish was colored using just Shimmerz Beeswax and a paint brush. The Beeswax was a perfect match for the Morning Glory. I mounted the colored fish on top of the first stamped fish using dimensionals and then taped the images on the back to show through on the front. I stamped the party hat from Crab & Co. 3 times using Basic Black ink, cut them out and colored using the same ink and Shimmerz as the fish. I added Stardust Stickles to the polka dots as well as the water bubbles. I used my Quickie glue pen to add the little blue rhinestones to top of the party hat. The sentiment was printed from my computer on to Whisper White cardstock. I adhered the chipboard piece on the front of the card using dimensionals.

Be sure to stop by the OCC blog to check out what the girls have made using chipboard!!! If you decide to play along, be sure to upload your creation on SCS using the keyword OCCC. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!
