GESSO, CANVAS, CHIPBOARD and SHIMMERZ

I think it's a beautiful marriage!  This tutorial is EASY.  It involves taking a Punky Sprouts canvas album cover (or any canvas), applying chipboard letters (or other chipboard shapes), and treating it with coats of Gesso and beautiful Shimmerz products.

I want to do this AGAIN!  I want to use up my CHIPBOARD!  I can use any CHIPBOARD shapes in my possession!  You can also throw in some buttons or metal, or fabric, you name it!


Here is the video - I hope you enjoy it, and most of all, I hope you try it!  Spell any WORD you want!
