Got Chipboard?

Welcome back for another challenge from The Shabby Tea Room!  It is my turn to host this week's challenge and I wanted to "step out of my box" and try something I haven't done for awhile.  I have TONS of chipboard and very rarely use it so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to use it... I'm sure I'm not the only chipboard hoarder out there, right? 

So I found a chipboard flower and a little buckle thing and got to work.  I traced the flower onto a piece of Origins DP, cut it out and attached it to the chipboard with Mod Podge.  Once it was dry, I used a file to sand the edges and then inked them with black ink.  I used a technique on the buckle part I had seen on Jen's blog awhile ago and it worked perfectly to contain the glitter that inevitably goes all over the place - I adhered the glitter with Mod Podge and then spread Crystal Effects all over and let it dry...

And then used OCC's sketch:

And...TA-DAAA!
