Some Inspiration from
"Resident Guest Designer"
Melinda Thompson

Hi Everyone,
 
Well its my turn again to share with you today a layout I created with
some gorgeous 2Crafty chipboard. 
   
"Your Smile"
 
 
On this layout I am using 3 gorgeous 2Crafty chipboard pieces.
 
- Tattered Hearts
- Vintage Birds
- Floral Branch
 
Below is the one of the Tattered Hearts which has so many different layers on it. I wanted to
 go for a two toned look so I primed it first with Gesso, then it has a layer of modelling paste
 for extra dimension, I then sprayed it with some Vintage Pink Tattered Angels Glimmermist,
then using my finger I rubbed some Turquoise Shimmerz in random places and lastly
I inked the edges using a chalk ink pad. 
 

The same techniques were used for the Vintage Bird, although he got a little extra
sparkle and I added some glitter to his tail :)


I chose to keep using the same techniques for all 3 pieces of chipboard so they would
all blend in.  But in this case with the Floral Branch, I only applied everything VERY lightly
as I wanted the engraved detail of the chippie flowers to still be visible.  I added
 some Liquid Pearls in the centre of the flower for added detail.


Thanks for stopping by the 2Crafty Blog today and letting me share my project.  
 
Until next time
Melinda
