"Be Yourself"
Hello there 2 Crafty fans, thanks for calling by.
Today I have three layouts to share with you & I have used some of
their latest released pieces. Looove them all.

Title-"Be Yourself"
2014-Date
Leafy Shrub Set #2
After a quick coat of gesso I just painted this cute little title, "Be Yourself" with some Tim Holtz
Distress Crackle Paint. Too easy & it gives the chippies a great texture too.
Now the feature chippie piece on this layout would have to be this newly
released "Bubble Grid Panel". It is actually a 6" square but I have cut it
into pieces & placed it all around my photo & I have still got lots left to use
on another project. All I have done with this chippie piece is to colour it
with a black ink pad. It doesn't get much easier than that.
I just loooove the look of plain black chippies with bright colours
on a layout. I think it packs a punch.
Some nice background textures using mixed media & stamping,
creates a good backdrop for the plain black chippies.
In the next two photos you can see I have used a couple of the pieces of the
"Leafy Shrub Set #2" which again I just coloured with a black ink pad.
They do look good tucked in with your flower clusters.
Here you can see the "2014" tucked in underneath the photo
& I painted it in the Distress Crackle paint the same as my title.
These dates come in a multi pack & have about 10 in a pack.
They also come in different years too.
Great way to turn the date into an embellishment.
I created this one recently for a challenge I went in over at Berry71Bleu
& it was lucky enough to be chosen as a winner.

All of the chippie pieces on this layout were firstly given a coat of gesso,
followed by a coat of Tim Holtz "Distress Stain" & when dry I have
brushed on some brown "Coffee Shop" Glimmermist to add a llittle
shimmer. Brushing it on instead of spraying it you get more on &
therefore you achieve more depth in your colour.
