"#Believe" a layout by Bec Genet

Hi everyone,
 Today is my day I share my second layout for July made with the gorgeous 2Crafty Chipboard.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Doily Frames

Mini # Word Set 1

Palm Leaves Set

Sammi's Swirls

On this layout I coloured most of the chipboard pieces with embossing powder. I love using embossing powder to alter chipboard but I don't do it as much as I used to because I can only scrap when my son is asleep and the heat gun is to noisy to use :)

I used a white embossing powder on the Doily Frames and a very pale beige embossing powder on the Sammi's Swirls.

For the title from the Mini # Word Set 1, I found a deep blue glitter embossing powder which matched my photo perfectly. By the time I got to the Palm Leaves my little one was sleep so I used some Nuvo Crystal Drops in Neptune to colour them instead.

I placed the smaller Doily Frame to the left of my photo then I cut the larger Doily Frame in half and placed one piece above and one below the photo. I added the Sammi's Swirl pieces on either side of the photo and finally I placed the Palm leaves tucked under the flowers. 

Thanks for Visiting

July Inspiration : Art Journal PLUS Video tutorialBy Kripa Koushik

'What if I fail? But, Oh Darling, What if you Fly?'

Hello friends,

My second project for this month is an art journal page...

To begin, one piece each from the sets  
12" Clock face frames 
6" Clock face frames 
 Cog Nested frames 
was glued down and covered with black gesso. All the violet colored chipboard 
pieces were first coated with black gesso. All the rest were covered with white gesso.

I layered the chipboard pieces over and under tags cut out of pattern paper. To add dimension,

 I've popped the flower doilies on top of the chipboard circles that are the negative

 from the clock face sets.

I hope you enjoy the video tutorial...

"Night City" Layout PLUS VIDEO TUTORIALby Elena

Hello! Elena with you today!

 It's great if life is full of adventures and travel. A week ago my husband and I returned from 

a trip to Belarus. It's a small country in Eastern Europe (if you don't know:))).

 We drove through small villages and were impressed with how simple the locals live.

 Their life is calm and measured in contrast to the inhabitants of large cities.

 That's where the time rushes, life is boiling and everyone is in a hurry to live!

I like big cities, nd one of the cities where I dream to visit is Sydney!

So I decided to visualize my dream  and made a page with a photo of Sydney at night.
 

"Enjoy the Journey"

 I used a piece of Ecopaper paper as the background. I chose it first of all for the black
 background, which was perfect for the photo. I also liked the fact that it has a dial -
 as a symbol of the transience of time.

I love the 2Crafty title chippies. They are large and with a very beautiful font!

 As usual, the main decorations of my works are chippies by 2 Crafty. This chip in the form
 of globe - just gorgeous. I covered it with Lindy's dark blue powder. In the tutorial,
which I have prepared for you, you can see all the nuances of creating my page.

 The new chips Steampunk Strips fit perfectly to the theme of
the work and added dynamics and expression.

July inspiration 'Capture' by Hetty Hall

Hi there 2Crafty fans and welcome to my second share for July. 

 2Crafty Chipboard products used:

- Decorative Rod Set 2
- Square Collage Panel
- Cassie's Flourishes
- Mini Word Set 1
- 6" Circle Revolution Frames

 I layered the 'Cassie's Flourishes' and the 'Decorative Rods' behind my photo to create texture and embossed it with Nuvo shimmering pearl embossing powder. I also ended up cutting out the middle bit of the decorative rod as it was covered by the photo and I don't like 'wasting' my beautiful chipboard. So now as you can see it is in a more prominent place.

The 'Square Collage Panel' was cut into several pieces and layered amongst the flowers for visual effect and embossed with Nuvo Glacier White embossing powder.

I used the negative from the '6" Circle Revolution set' which was left over from another project and layered it behind my photo to serve as a frame. It was again embossed with the Nuvo Glacier White embossing powder.

Last but not least I added some Zing Cranberry Metallic finish embossing powder to my chipboard sentiment from 'Mini Word Set 1'.

Flowers and paper are from 49 and Market and the little finishing touches are the Nuvo crystal drops.

Hope you enjoyed my layout and I was able to inspire you to get some beautiful 2Crafty Chipboard and get your craft on.

Until next time......

Hugs

Hetty

"Sweet" Layout By Bec Genet

Hi all, today I have my first layout for July to share with you
  made with the gorgeous 2Crafty chipboard.

"Sweet"

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Anika's Floral Frame

Scroll Set 3

Skeleton Trees

Word Circle Set 1

I started by coating all my chipboard pieces with white gesso. 

I used the Prima Pastel Dreams watercolour set to add colour to the 

Anika's Floral Frame,  the Scroll Set 3 and the Word Circle Set 1 pieces.

 I used the pastel teal, peach and yellow watercolours, and I also used these 

colours on my background paper.

On the Skeleton Trees I decided to use a darker colour to add a deeper dimension 

to the layout, I used the Prima acrylic paint in steampunk copper. 

I paired the beautiful chipboard pieces with lots of flowers, lace, metal

 embellishments and die cut leaves to complete the layout.

Thanks for visiting

July Inspiration "My happy place" by Marie Sabatier

This is my second page for this month of July.

I have created a very soft and gentle theme.

A photo taken in nature that goes well with the choice of chipboard.

To create interest on the bottom of my page I applied a drawing with a stencil and embossing paste that I covered with embossing powder to give more texture and shine.

For the chipboard flower I just covered it with a metallic bright color Mintgreen paint

For the title and the frame I painted and applied a wax

For the cage I applied an embossing powder

Finally, I added embellishments ....

The chips used : 

- Avery Frame

- Pretty Birdcage

- Beaded Hanging Hearts

- Handdrawn Flowers

- My happy place

That's my inspiration for this month of July 

So much fun to create !!!

Boy Layout Inspiration#AwesomeBy Di Garling

Hi there 2Crafty fans. Thanks for stopping by the blog.

Today I have a boy layout to share with you using lots of great

2Crafty Chipboard.

 2Crafty Chipboard Used...

Square Collage Panel

Geometric Arrows

ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars

Polaroid Assortment Pack

#Awesome-title

Chain Lengths

To start off with I base coated all the pieces of chippie that I was

going to colour up with a coat of white acrylic paint first.

All the chippies that were going to be black I didn't need to basecoat, I just 

simply coloured them with a black ink pad face down to wipe over them.

I cut the "Square Collage Panel" into pieces & sponged a tiny bit

of white gesso on to create some definition from the the background.

 The "Polaroid Assortment Frames" were painted with some red acrylic paint

after being basecoated in white & when dry I stamped on them with a script

stamp & sponged a little black ink around the edges.

Love how the frames turned out.

I love how the "Square Collage Panel" all cut up 

& poked around the photos to draw the eye in looks.

Got to love that #AWESOME title looks in red !

Here you can see the "Geometric Arrows" & a few "ATC Tiny Stars"

which I painted in a yellow acrylic paint to add a point of difference. 

Well thats another boy layout done & dusted.

I hope I have given you a few ideas for your next boy layout.

Until next time.
