2Crafty Elegance with Robin Shakoor

Hello everyone!  I am happy to share my first projects as a member of the  2Crafty Chipboard Design Team.  I love creating soft, beautiful cards with an elegant flair.  The cards I am sharing today are perfect for summer celebrations.    

"Congratulations"

  Soft and dreamy, my first card is just perfect for a summer wedding.   I kept the color palette soft and light for the occasion.  Using white and soft pinks,  I added dimension and texture to my plain white card base using beautiful  2Crafty Chipboard designs.  

  In keeping with my wedding theme, I kept the chipboard pieces light and white.   I used Gesso to prime each chipboard piece, then painted them white.   I painted the center of the Doily chipboard pink so my butterfly would stand out.   I applied glitter to the center of the butterfly and on the ends of the Georgian Frames  to add a bit of shimmer.  

To create my title, I used the "Congratulations" sentiment from the  6x6 Mixed Sentiment Card Words set.  I painted my title white and added a  light layer of pink paint through the center.  Once dry, I added Glossy Accents to  give it a beautiful finish.   I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard pieces on my card:

6x6 Mixed Sentiment Card Words

ATC Georgian Frames

Doilies

Sharon's Butterflies     "Welcome Little One"

What better way to welcome a new little one than with a custom card.  

I chose a light yellow color palette for this welcoming greeting card.  

I selected swirly flourishes and leaves to accent my card sentiment.

I used Pan Pastels on the yellow flourish, butterflies and title.  I then added

 Glossy Accents to the yellow flourish, butterflies and title. I decided to let the

 green leafy shrub keep its matt  finish to add contrast.

Here are the pieces of 2Crafty chipboard used..

Flourish Adornment Set 5     "I Love You"

My final card was created using an outer stair step design.   This design allows for greater dimension and fun surprises.   

This monochromatic design is romantic, light and airy.  

 I used several techniques on my Leafy Shrub chipboard piece. 

 I first primed all the pieces with Gesso.  I then used Inka Gold in Silver

 to add a subtle sparkly undertone to the leaves.  I then added 

Glossy Accents and accent layers of cream acrylic paint to the outer edges.
