Melenia's Shares for November

Hello everyone! It's Melenia with you today, to share a layout I created with the beautiful Skeleton Leaves,  Breanna's Swirl and the gorgeous loopy-font title "Favourite" (plus 2 more pages, which I have put 2 Crafty Chippies in).

"My Favourite Flower"

As you see I have used mixed media techniques on my layout, and I added the big pieces of my chipboard in black, for contrast!

The Breanna's swirl was gessoed and sprayed with black ink, but not in all over.

A few touches of gesso on it, to help it become a harmonious part of my big cluster.

Now the title is the highlight of the layout 

and I definitely wanted to make it pop as much as possible.

Since we are talking about a flower, I couldn't omit the Skeleton Leaves,

which makes the leaves of my flower although the flower in the 

photo doesn't have leaves.

The flowers were sprayed with a 13 Arts Pearl Mist, 

for extra glow.

I also wanted to show you my of 7 Dots Studio layouts. The first one was for the Sketchabilities challenge blog, in which I used the lovely "Indian Feathers" and .. what else?  Of course a "Groovy Flower".

"Looking in a Mirror"

As you see, the colour of the chipboard matched perfectly  with the colours of my background paper, so I didn't alter them a lot. I left them  raw & just added green ink to make them part of my clusters. I sprinkled some glitter on for extra sparkle, like I always do!    
The second one was meant for 7 Dots Studio itself. It features the elegant Geneive Corner and it 's called 
"Bloom"

    The Geneive Corner was an essential part of my design, because I wanted it to be the base which  the whole cluster would be built on. So I painted it with white paint and then over-loaded it with glitter! So that's all from me now! I hope you like my pages and the way I have incorporated the lovely 2 Crafty Chipboard in them!     And remember, to find a 2Crafty stockist near you, drop an email to...
