June inspiration with Lindy Gillespie

Morning scrappy friends today  I'm sharing my June Inspiration. It's with a heavy heart I say goodbye to my fave chippie company  as my time is up here at 2Crafty.   It's been an absolutely fantastic time working with this wonderful chipboard. My first layout is naturally a beach layout, couldn't leave without a nature page.   'BEACH' 2Crafty Chipboard used:                                                                       Beach (Title)                                                                 Frames Tiny Henri's                                                                      Frame Maria's     On the title Beach I first sealed the chipboard with a light coat of gesso, once dried I have sprayed two different sprays, a light blue to start with,   then grey on top.  Love the way they blend together.   

                                                                    

      On the Tiny Henri's Frame I first cut it in half, sealed it as above, then using 

      a brush, I  just dabbed on some light blue spray.

 

     On the Maria's frame I sealed  and treated in the same manner  as the title.     'WONDERFUL DAY'                                                   The next layout is a photo of my grand niece                                                     holidaying on the coast, she's just having                                                                fun in the sand.                                                                                   2Crafty  Chipboard used:                                                                     Wonderful                                                                    Doily Border                                                               Sharon's Butterflies                                                                   Elegant Corner       The Doily Border has been sealed in gesso then a  layer of acrylic paint, and placed behind the flower layer.     After the Sharon's butterfly was sealed as above,a light spray  of 13 arts pastel turquoise mist.     The title Wonderful is treated as above but painted  with a heavy coat of yellow acrylic paint.       On this pic under the photo is the Elegant Border  which I first cut in half and used it on both sides of the photo. I treated it in the same manner as the doily border.         My final layout  was for the challenge blog  Scrap Around The World. This month 2 crafty is the major sponsor  for them and we were asked to contribute a page for inspiration, they have this fabulous moodboard. I'm not one for the brighter colours  but it certainly challenged me. hope you like my inspiration.   "Scrap Around the World" June Moodboard     'Today'   I have heaps of  beach photos and this one was ideal for the challenge.   2Crafty Chipboard used: Today Title-Loopy Font, Ornate buckles, Fay's Flourish, 6" Skeleton Clock Frame     I cut Fay's Flourish ends off as you don't see the entire chippie and then  sealed all the chipboard with gesso and   treated them all with some white acrylic paint.                                                                     The pic above and below                                                      you can see I have layered the chippies.     Thanks for calling by, I hope I have inspired you to  play with some 2Crafty Chipboard too.
