February Shares from Helen 2 Layouts & A Canvas!

Hi everyone!  HELEN back with you today to share what I have been up to lately  using the fabulous 2Crafty Chipboard!
 Firstly I used  the "Valentine's Hearts"  to create a layout for Scrap Around The World!  You get the double-heart  (on the left) & TWO Single hearts (as seen on the right) so I still have one left over!

For this rather grungy layout I simply inked the chippie pieces randomly 

with black ink, leaving parts of them raw.  I also used a couple of "Tiny

Leafy Stems" that come in a 4 pack, so have half that pack left over too.

I often use my chipboard to anchor some thread, as I like using threads a lot

 but not unless I can keep them in place.  Chippie works perfectly for this.

To get the variegation on my Leafy Stems I shaded my chipboard with Gelatos.

Gelatos are a great item for chipboard as they require no primer & do not

 cause the chipboard to become wet like mists & sprays do.  

"Gorgeous"

Next up is the layout I contributed earlier this month to the CSI Challenge site 

HERE where some of us 2Crafty Chipboard ladies are guest designing.

I used the "Hello" from one of the  "Circle Word Sets" that comes in a multipack

 of 6 words.  For all the chipboard pieces on this page I inked them in Olde Golde

then sponged lightly & randomly with gesso {white acrylic paint will work fine too}.

The "Gorgeous" word/title is finely cut in a beautiful font.  I love 

the way the classy 2Crafty Chipboard titles really finish off a page.

Lastly I used an "Edgar Swirl" which I LOVE the look of here!!  They come in

 a double-pack & add the perfect touch of class right where you need it :)

"My Sister My Friend CANVAS"

Lastly I created this cute little canvas for my younger daughter's bedroom,

using the "Love Circle Word" from one of the "Circle Word Sets" as well as 

some ''Chicken Wire", an "Tiny Vivian's Frame" & the "My Sister, My Friend" title.  

I really enjoyed creating this pretty piece.  It is nice & small so even though

 there is a lot of luscious detail it didn't take me too long!  I glittered up the

 chipboard with high quality glass glitter that is really shiny!!

You can't really go wrong with pink & purple, glitter, sequins & micro-

beads for young girls & all of them look great on or around chipboard!

Just for interest sake - the black grid box you see on my canvas is actually Prima

 Plywood packaging from their wooden embellishments.  I have kept all the little

 boxes as they fit small canvases perfectly & are less than one inch deep

 so make perfect little printer's trays/shadow boxes.
