I have used the following chipboard products;
Polaroid Assortment Frames (8 piece pack)
Polaroid Frames (set of 2 pack)
View Finder (small size)
ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars (hearts)
I have "strung" up the flag banners with a faux string, thanks to a black gel pen. :)
I've also outlined all the chipboard pieces with a black gel pen here, as the
background is quite busy.
All except for Gigi's Flower...
This flower has been painted red and covered with glitter for a pretty sparkle.
I love the intricate look that this flower has!

And now for my third and final layout, I have scrapped some
older photos (pre-digital) for a change.

My layout is called
"The Bright Lights of Tokyo"…

I love getting bright! :) So here I've made my own watercolour background,
much like my first layout - only brighter. Plus I've added some black inking work too.
much like my first layout - only brighter. Plus I've added some black inking work too.
I have used the following 2Crafty chipboard pieces;
Tags (large size, from a pack of 6)
Light Bulbs (one bulb taken from the pack of 4)
Chevron Bits (x1)
Assorted Arrows (x1)
I have covered two tags with patterned paper and one has been painted cream.
I used the three tags like a photo matt for my main photo by layering them
at angles with each other, outlining around each overlapping tag and then
cutting around each outline. This enabled a flat surface to accompany this
layered look which was important for the photo, and to create less bulk overall too.

The light bulb has been coloured with a yellow marker, then doodled around
with a yellow gel pen. Lastly, I used a black gel pen to pick up the etched
outlining, to make them stand out and I also outlined onto the photo around
the edges and to create bright light marks.
I have cut an assorted arrow in half and adhered it to the top and bottom right of
the layout, along the tear line of the watercolour background. These tie in with
the patterned packaging tape that I used.
Well that is all from me. I've really enjoyed my time here at 2Crafty!
