before sitting & framing the photo

Next up the SUPER cute bird which I have inked 

 with a nice pastel pink, before attaching

it with some foam/dimension tape...

Next I have added two halves of the flower doilies. 

Firstly given them a coat of gesso,

 before inking this with the same pastel pink as the bird!!

Now onto the title 'Shine Bright'

I first gave it a coat of gesso then finished

it with inking parts of the title with no other color, but yellow.... 

Next up I have added 3 Indian feathers..

I started with inking them with yellow ink, then finishing the off 

with rubbing the centres with rose gold wax,

 before adding them into my flower clusters....

Then a couple of pieces from the Foilage set 8, 

where I firstly gave the foilage pieces two coats 

of gesso, before cutting these into even smaller foilage pieces, 

and also adding these thoughout my flower clusters... 

Lastly is this delicate gorgeous Filigree arrow.

Inking this beauty with a purple & attaching this onto my flower cluster...

Thanks so much for stopping by,

This moment by Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Today I'd like to share a layout I did last week that about one of those little moments of pure joy in life where you remember that being with the ones you love is all that matters.

 Sometimes you're not doing anything special, just sharing a little moment of cuddling and playing, and it is still the most rewarding moment as a mom.

"This moment" 

On the "Chicken wire panel", at the back, I used silver embossing powder and dabbed some black embossing ink on top. For the "Steampunk Cog Strips", behind the button, I applied blue embossing powder roughly and then traced the border with black ink.

On the "Frangy", I applied blue embossing enamel and then traced the borders with black ink.

For the "Frame Alissa", I applied white paint to which I had added blue pigments. Then, once it was dry, I used a sandpaper to give it a more rustic look.

For the title, "This moment", I applied textured embossing powder, giving something of a coal look.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Frame Alissa [fr0125]

Frangy [m00121]

Chicken wire panel [m00400]

Steampunk cog strips [m00783]

This Moment [w00526]

That's all for me today!

 I hope you enjoyed this layout and it gave you some ideas for your own creations.

 I will be back in a few weeks with more ideas to share with you guys.

 Until then, I wish you the best.

You Hold The Key To My Heart ~ by Lisa-Marie Watling

Hello there!

 Today I'm sharing with you, a whimsical layout I created, featuring (as always!)
my darling daughter!

 I chose these gorgeous flower chipboard pieces to bring the garden out of the photograph and into my layout.

These are the chipboard pieces that I used:

And here are the direct links to these pretty pieces:

You Hold The Key To My Heart

Handdrawn Flowers

Frame Vintage Oval

And now for some close up shots of my piece:

I applied some purple Distress Oxide to my title and finished it off with Glossy Accents.

Both the leaves and the oval frame were misted with the same minty green metallic mist; I gave the frame (which was cut apart and adhered above and below my photo cluster) a coat of Glossy Accents.  I coated one of the flowers with teal Distress Oxide.

I gave my other flower a coat of purple Distress Oxide.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Until next time!

My Lovely Daughter By Jenny J.

Good morning everyone!

Here is my second January inspiration at 2Crafty.

You will see below all the gorgeous pieces that I've used on that layout.

2Crafty Chipboard Used

-Star circular frames

-Interlocking grid panel

-Isn't she lovely

-Foliage set 6

-Foliage set 1

-Dandelions

As usual, I've started by covering my background paper with clear gesso.  

Then, I've used modeling paste, 2 different stencils and some sprays to add a bit of textures.  

I've displayed my photo on layers of cardboard and papers and of course, 

a beautiful piece of 2Crafty chipboard: "Interlocking grid panel".  

Both  pieces of this set are treated with black gesso and Finnabair's waxes.

The "Star circular frame" on my photo is simply sprayed.

 That title, "Isn't she lovely" was the perfect one for my daughter's picture, don't you think?

That chippie is embossed with a gold embossing powder.

Below, you will see the "Dandelions" painted in white, 

and one piece of the "Foliage set 1", sprayed with the same color as the Star circular frame.

There's another piece of that set under the title ;)

Finally, the other pieces named previously:

"Interlocking grid panel"

"Foliage set 1" but also

"Foliage set 6" which is  embossed with a teal powder.

Layout Friends by Elena Martynova

Hello dear friends!!!!

It's Elena Martynova here today and I'm so excited 

to share my new layout.

In the new year, I want to change something in my work.
Find a new direction or new style maybe...
I want the layout to not only be a beautiful design for a photo,
but also could tell a whole story.
Today my story is about two women who have been friends since childhood.
 They are still interesting together, although it would seem
they know everything about each other.

I needed a calm background and took a paper from 49 and Market. 

Added stamping and cutting pieces with a die from @eco_paper , 

which I painted with lilac spray.⠀

 

Ornate Gateway   in the background are covered with bronze embossing  powder

 and slightly tinted with white paint.

At the bottom, I added the title "Friends" from the Arrow Word Set 2

And the top of the layout is decorated with a luxurious Chandelier 4.

 I wanted to decorate it with a Buffalo skull from Western Set 1 .

 Don't even ask why? I don't know :)))))))))))

 I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

Western Set 1 

Ornate Gateway 

Chandelier 4

Arrow Word Set 2

I hope you enjoy my new inspiration.

Cheers, Elena.

'Oh Happy Day' Layout + VIDEO by Lisa Amiet

Hello all!

It's Lisa here today to share some inspirations with you.

I have created a new layout,

Oh Happy Day

2Crafty Products Used:

For this layout I have used a striped paper for my base.

I have distressed, and layered my corner pieces. 

I have then used some stamps,

 and splatters where my photos stack will be. 

For my chipboard I have started with the cacti from the 'Cactus Set',

which I have given a coat of gesso, 

and then used my watercolour paints to colour them.

I love the effect of the colours. 

I have then used the same green tones,

 to colour the 'Summer Leaf Set' foliage.

I have then placed these to help the flow of my page.

To finish, over one of my cactus, I have layered my title,

 left raw, from the 'Mini Title Stick Set 4',

These were the perfect pieces for my page and photo. 

You can watch the full process video of how I created this below.

Until next time!
