Hello everyone, Stéphanie here with you !
Today I am very thrilled to share with you my first DT project for
2 Crafty Chipboard. I hope you will enjoy it !
"Always Follow Your Dreams"
There are so many beautiful chipboard pieces in the 2Crafty range. My first challenge
was to choose which beautiful pieces I would choose for my first layout!
In fact, for this layout, I decided to work in the height of my page,
so I purposely chose a title that occupied a lot of space so that my chipboard would
play an important role in the layout.
I also wanted to stick a small arabesques on the other side of my layout,
it connects my set, and I placed them so that all my embellishments
are placed in a diagonal line.

Leafy Shrub Set 2 (unit of 3)[m00494]
Mini Swirls 1 (units of 3)[atc037]
Always Follow Your Dreams
(unit of 3)
On my title, I like to bring color so I moistened my chipboard with water in
some places with a brush. Before it was dry, I applied a little white liquid ink,
but only where I put the water. This way my white ink blends well,
and doesn't have sharp edges, but instead it all just blends beautifully.
I find it interesting to wet our chipboard with inks or paints as
some really beautiful results can be obtained.
I chose to cut out a part of my leaves, so that I got a straight edge on
my chipboard to place along the side of my page .
Above you will see I have used 2 of the ATC Swirls, to continue the leafy feel,
using them close to my flowers.
Here is a close up of how the water and paint blended.
I hope you have enjoyed this page, & I look forward to seeing you back here again
next month for a new project !
