Chipboard Technique - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I have a painting technique and a card to share with you featuring some gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard.

My favourite technique for chipboard is to colour with watercolour pan paints. Any pan paint is fine - here I have used an inexpensive childrens set, but I also love Prima Watercolor Confections. There is no need to Gesso first - just paint direct onto the raw chipboard. For this butterfly I start by painting a dark blue in the centeradding progressively lighter shades of blue as I move out to the wing tips (for an ombre effect). Add a second coat of each colour if necessary.

I've used these butterflies and a numeral on a 50th birthday card for my friend :)
