July Projects by Kavitha

Hello 2Crafty fans,

Kavitha here today to share with you my July projects.

"Little Wonder" Canvas

For my first project I made a "Baby theme" mixed media canvas.
After creating the mixed media background with stenciling and acrylic paints
I created my layout with lots of layers.

All my chipboard pieces are heat embossed with Lindy"s embossing powders.

I used  Yvette's frame behind the photo.

For my title I used the word "Wonder" from the  mini word set.

I used a piece of Dandelions among the floral cluster.

I also used ATC tiny hearts and stars  which is heat embossed with glitter 

embossing powder.

 I made a shabby chic layout with Maja design papers, lots of fussy cut/stamped
flowers,lace and of course gorgeous chipboards.Again all of them are
heat embossed with color embossing powders form Lindy's.

 I used Brooke's swirls along both the sides of the photo.I also used

Parisian border cut up into two pieces placing horizontally.

Hello my crafty friends

Noura here today to share with you my projects for July. This month my inspiration 

is all about different types of beauty.

 "Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful"

Some details...

For my background I have used  Tiny Triangle Clusters and Fast Forward arrows  all 

painted with black gesso.  I also sewed some horizontal and vertical lines for added interest.

To decorate my layout I used a lot of different chipboard, including ....
Mini Camera Set
 ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars
 Assorted Arrows
 Fast Forward Arrows
   Small Steampunk Gears

These were  all painted with cream color.

My tittle "Be your own kind of Beautiful" was painted in black gesso , I added 

diamond dust for an extra texture and a little of old gold paint.

Canvas - "Beauty"

And here is my second project, a Canvas.

I started by painting with Inka gold on the  Chicken Wire panel
and placed it in between the layers.

 I've then added some Leafy Shurb Set 1 and Leafy Shurb Set 2 

which I heat embossed in a white color.

Finally the Fine word set 2 was painted in black acrilic paint with a
 touch of 3D gloss gel to give it a little shine.

July Inspiration By Ingrid

Hello there 2Crafty friends!

Ingrid here today with a canvas and two cards.

"SUMMER"

I wanted to make a summer canvas featuring lots of gorgeous chipboards! 

Made the background by glueing some plaster tape with gel medium.

Added the paints and once dry, some gesso to make it look softer.

I used some crackle paint for the old fence.

All the chipboard got a coat of gesso first before all the paints.

Colored the berry branch with acrylic paints and once dry, a little touch with some gesso.

The thistle shrub got the same treatment.

The plaster tape in the background gives it some more texture.

Again the Dandelions painted and lightly touched with some gesso.

The butterfly, painted with some acrylic paint and gessoed the edges.

Here is my second project this month, a set of two cards....

For these cards I cut up the Turkish Lace panel and glued them on the small canvas cards.

I also glued some plaster tape for extra texture.

Added some art stones and gessoed the two cards before the paints.

Once dry, they got also got a touch with some gesso.

Here you can see the differenence between the before and after, the final touch with gesso.

I just love the much more softer look! :) 

With the plaster I created more texture.

The words got two coats with some gesso.

The art stones.

The butterfly was painted and I gessoed the edges.

The Turkish Lace Panel.

Hope you all got inspired by today's projects! :)
