Hello everyone and welcome to the 2Crafty Blog. It is my turn again and this time I
have two Art Journal pages and a card to share with you.
"DOUBLE ART JOURNAL PAGE FOR CSI"
2Crafty was a major sponsor over at CSI in February and I was so thrilled that I was able to be a part of the GDT for Case #156. This is the double Art Journal page I created.
2Crafty Chipboard product used
Square Collage Panel
Leafy Shrub Set 1
6" Clock Frames
ATC Georgian Frames
All of the chippies were first coated with gesso and then painted with acrylic paint.
My favourite chippy on this page is the Square Collage Panel. It comes as a 6" x 6" panel but you can cut random pieces from it and use them in a myriad of ways. I simply cut off a section from one side of the panel and placed it on the left side of my double page and then layered the ATC Georgian Frame over the top.
Here I've used one of the plain circles from the 6" Clock Frames, attached a piece from the
Leafy Shrub Set 1 on top of that and created a lovely circular flourish. I love how this looks.
It is so easy to configure your chippies so that they fit into whatever it is you are making.
If you don't have the perfect piece already, you can simply layer them, or cut them apart and
add bits from a different set and simply and easily create the perfect embellishment for your project.
This is another piece cut from the Square Collage Panel.
"DOUBLE ART JOURNAL PAGE FOR SATW"
During March, 2Crafty is a major sponsor for Scrap Around the World and, once again,
the Team from 2Crafty are Guest Designers. As the Guest post went live yesterday
I am now able to show the details of my contribution.
2Crafty Chipboard product used
Square Collage Panel
6" Clock Frames
Mini Hearts and Stars
Once again I have used a piece from the Square Collage Panel.
(Did I tell you I really love this chippy?? LOL!!) I didn't use gesso this time, I simply
rubbed it over randomly with Black Soot Distress Ink.
The Clock Frame was treated the same way.
The stars are from the Mini Hearts and Stars and they were coloured with acrylic paint.
"CONCERTINA CARD"
For my final project I would like to share the card I created for my Grandson's 18th Birthday.
Being such a special Birthday, it had to be a special card and so I created a concertina card
with some pieces from 2Crafty Chipboard's latest release.
The front of this card looks fairly busy I know, but I just couldn't stop myself from
adding all those lovely little chipboard pieces.
2Crafty Chipboard product used
Bubble Clumps
Card Word Circles - Happy Birthday
Dotty Bits
Fast Forward Arrows
Mini Tags
The small 'Bubble Clump' was coloured with acrylic paints using a dabber. I love the
mottled look you get when using this method.
The 'Dotty Bits' tucked in the paper layers at the side were coloured the same as the Bubble Clump but the 'Mini Tag' was inked with Distress Inks and then lightly edged with gold VersaColor.
'Card Word Circle' painted and 'Fast Forward Arrow' inked. Once everything
was dry I randomly splashed some gesso over everything.
Love those 'Fast Forward Arrows' and used quite a few of them on the inside of the card.
This one was painted with acrylic paint ...
... as was this one. It was also lightly inked with gold.
The outer edge of this arrow was inked with VersaColor gold and the actual arrow
itself was coloured with Black Soot Distress Ink.
This arrow was also inked with Distress Inks and edged with the VersaColor gold.
The inside of the card when fully opened.
