Chillin' - Laura Gilhuly

Hi everyone!
Laura back today to share!

 2Crafty Products used:

Steampunk Strips
Steampunk Gears Small
Chillin'
Corner Steampunk 1
12x12 Nested Cog Frames
Geo Decorative Circle Element

With the background papers being quite grungy in nature, I followed this theme onto the chipboard.

After covering the chipboard with white gesso I applied texture paste, giving the
pieces a rustic feel.

Once the texture paste dried, I have then applied some colour.

I then applied varying colours of mists and inks.

I wanted to highlight the red and teal in the papers so I used a bit of red mist and teal paint

 to highlight areas of the chipboard and teal on the title to make it stand out.

  I dry brushed a cream coloured paint over the textured areas of the chipboard to highlight the texture.  I also added some art stones as a finishing touch.

Hope you have been inspired today to get crafty!

this is A Moment to Treasure by Robin Schelin

 Hi everyone, so glad you could drop by. Today I'm sharing my last layout for January. 

Where I live in Colorado, it's very cold with snow on the ground. When it gets this cold, I either create winter layouts because that is my reality, or summer ones because I wish THAT was my reality! This time I opted for the latter because I'm already over it! 

this is A Moment to Treasure

2Crafty Goodness used:

happiness is this

11" Round Flourish Frame

A moment to Treasure

ATC Hearts Funky

All of the chipboard was given a nice spread with White Gesso before painting. 

The star of this show is the 11" Round Flourish Frame. This is truly a beautiful piece. I think it's perfect to accent this design. 

I painted it with a mixture of Barcelona Beige, Sandstorm, Oatmeal, Sheepskin, and a touch of Metallic Copper Chalk Paints. I just kept playing around with the paints until I got to a color I could live with! I wanted it to highlight her hair color and the browns of the beehive.

On the upper right, I placed 2 of the ATC Hearts Funky on top of the flower cluster, painting them the same as the 11" Round Flourish Frame. After they were dry, I feathered on a little White Gesso on the edges using a fan brush.

I cut the words 'this and is' off the title happiness is this and glue them on the hearts. Not only did this add to the title of the layout, but added a little more interest to this corner of the photo. These was painted with White Adirondack Chalk Paint.

I placed the main title, A Moment to Treasure, at the bottom slightly over the photo to draw the design down and fill in the area underneath it. This was also painted with White Adirondack Chalk Paint to unify the title.

And there it is, a little bit of summer and warmth on a cold dismal day! Hope you like it. I'll be back next month with another layout to share. Might be a Winter one, might be a Summer one, might be neither! We'll see how the wind blows!

#CAPTURE By Charmane Sharp

 

My nature inspired layout to remember a day spent exploring with my hubby.

I love how rubbing on Finnabair waxes adds shine and gorgeous colour to 

my chipboard choices. They blend so easily together and allow the 2Crafty

Chipboard to stand out amongst my nature collection of Laser Cuts, Die Cuts,

Heidi's Vines and Oversized Flower Stem.

2Crafty Chipboard used…

11’ Film Strip

Heidi’s Vines

Mini #Word set 2

Oversized Flower Stems set 1

Bird set

Heidi's Vines have lovely details to highlight with the berries on the

ends of the leaves.

This cluster is full of texture and the 2Crafty chipboard stands out with

the beautiful shine from the waxes rubbed on.

Using shades of Gold and Bronze on the Film Strip it allows the photos

to be the focus and means I could print all my images small to get them

 on one layout. I glued the Film Strip to some printed paper finishing

with the simple title chosen from the #word set.

Stunning in Gold these Birds add a touch more nature to my layout

and look like they are flying over the foliage.

Finnabair Waxes transform chipboard so easily and blend well. So many

colours and you only need a small amount making them economical.

Until next time...

'Breathe' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty lovers!
It's Lisa here today to share some scrappy goodness with you.

"Breathe"

 2Crafty products:

'ATC Georgian Frames'
'Flourish Set 4'
'Foliage Set 11'

 

 

  

For this layout I started with a bit of 
stamping and splashing on my background paper. 

 

 

 

I used one of the 'Flourish Set 4', 

that I have embossed in white. 

I also used two of the 'Foliage Set 11', 

also finished in white. 

 

 

I also used one of the 'ATC Georgian Frames',

embossed in white and layered with a sentiment sticker. 

 

 

I then used another of the 'Foliage Set 11',

also in white, tucked into my floral cluster. 

 

 

I really like how this layout turned out. 
I hope that you like it too!

 

Until next time!

“You Colour My World” Layout By Di Garling

 

Hello there and Happy New Year. Welcome to the blog.
For my first post for the year I have this multi photo
layout to share with you. 

2Crafty Chipboard Used…
Aged Film Strip Set
“You Colour My World” - title
Mollies Butterfly Set

After creating lots of layers, and a bit of fussy cutting,

I set about altering my chipboard pieces.

I chose this fantastic 2Crafty chipboard title for my layout,

“You Colour My World”

This is one of the hundreds that 2Crafty has to choose from.

I decided I would simply do all the chipboard pieces

with a base coat of white acrylic paint followed by

a watered down wash of brown paint, followed by a 

spray with water which makes the paint all runny.

I really love this technique on chipboard.

The next chipboard piece I chose was the

“Aged Film Strip Set Strip”

which I have added on the left side of my photos

& have incorporated it into my flower cluster.

However, before sticking the film strip down, I cut off a

piece of it & placed it in another cluster at the top of my page to 

add some balance to the layout.

Lastly I chose some sweet little butterflies from the

“Mollie’s Butterfly Set”

& again I have kept to the same colour

as the other chipboard pieces.

Well I hope you liked this layout and all the lovely chipboard

pieces I chose to enhance it with & maybe got some

inspiration from it too.

Handsome Lad by Tania Ridgwell

 Hello there! 

Tania joining you today to share the second of my DT projects for January.  I have created a layout for my second share.  I've stepped out of my comfort zone today with this layout not a flower in sight lol!

"Handsome Lad"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Geometric Arrows

*Giant Gears

*Steampunk Gears Medium

*Steampunk Chain Rectangle Frame

*Mini Title Stick Set 1

I have used the awesome Unmistakable Creations 'Daily Shift' Collection to create the base for my Layout.

I coloured all the Gear chippies with Melted Chocolate Dylusions Spray and once dry I randomly wiped over them with a White Posca Paint Pen.  I coloured the Steampunk Chain Rectangle Frame chippie using both Melted Chocolate & London Blue Dylusions Sprays and once it was dry I did the same with the White Posca Paint Pen.  The Geometric Arrows and Handsome Lad chippie Title from the Mini Title Stick Set have been coloured with London Blue Dylusions Spray and again wiped over with the White Posca Paint Pen.

I added lots of paper layers under my photo and placed the Steampunk Chain Rectangle Frame chippie over top.  I embellished around my photo with the the Gear chippies, added a Geometric Arrow chippie to the top and bottom of the Layout and finished off by adding the Handsome Lad Title chippie along the bottom left of my photo.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout. 

 Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.
