Graduation Chipboard Embellishment Shapes Layout

Hello and happy Saturday!  Jennifer on the blog to share a layout I created using one of the many Clear Scraps Chipboard Embellishment Shapes!  My oldest recently graduated from high school and I thought the Graduation Chipboard Embellishment Shapes would be the perfect accent for my page!  

Beginning with a 12x12 sheet of white cardstock, I  secured the 12 Inch Triangle Mascil over the top using washi tape.  I selected two Distress Oxide colors to blend in the center of my page not worrying about filling in the entire space.

Here is a close up of the end result!  Using Clear Scraps Mascils are the perfect way to create your own background!  

Next, I took the Graduation Chipboard Embellishment Shapes and painted them with black acrylic paint.  After they were dry, I dabbed embossing ink on each followed by a using a glitter black embossing powder. I  then set each using a heat tool. 

I affixed each Chipboard Embellishment Shape using Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive. Using a solvent based adhesive is best when it comes to Clear Scraps products because it will not warp your embellishment. Plus it dries quickly! 

I added foam words as well as stickers and enamel dots to accent my page.  

I do love to "pop up" a few of my embellishments using foam tape or pop dots as it gives my project dimension!
