Working on a small space limits me to get
all the materials and tools that I wanted. I learned to maximize the space and
the supplies I have. When I received all the gorgeous chipboards, I noticed
that those negatives that came with it are as gorgeous as the chipboards. So I
decided to use them as well!
For my first layout, I have used the
negative of Numbers
chipboard. I initially removed all the numbers on it and placed it in a plastic
ziplock back for easy access when I need them.

To
achieve the look I wanted, I first did several coating using white gesso
acrylic paint. Then, using several stamp designs and different coloured
inkpads, I randomly stamped over the negative chipboard. For the final touch, I
slightly misted over it to get some small splatters. I also adhere patterned
papers beneath the some numbers to emphasize that the photo was taken this
year, 2012.
The butterflies were just painted with white acrylic gesso to achieve a silhouette look.
