Here is a LO I did for the Blog Hop using a few different techniques...


Scrap Fx chipboard is very high quality,so you can use it in many different ways.These are the piece's of chipboard I used on this LO: Gates Large(2008242),Wordlet ,Remember the Time(2012359),Wheels & Rods (2011057),Clock Hand Antique(200831),cog(2007184)Butterfly Circle Large(2008131) (I only used the butterflies,I used the circle on another LO).Here are some closeups of detail.....

I first applied walnut stain on the gate,then rock candy crackle,then when that dried I rubbed in a few different colors of chalk,to give it the aged look & to reduce the shine.On the wordlet & wheels I rubbed in a light brown & dark brown chalk then inked the edges.....
I used the rod part of the wheels & rods on both the upper right  & lower left corners,used chalk, inked the edges then attached chains with brads......
I used white picket crackle then inked the edges on the antique clock hand....
I dipped the butterfly in warm water,so it was wet,then very gently separated  the chipboard so you get 3 layers.I then applied liquid pearl bisque,inked the edges brown,then added some pearls....
I also used on this LO the Vintage Summer Basics Collection from Maja Design.Thank you so much for joining in on the Blog Hop,& now you can go & be inspired by Scarlett....Rachelle
