Beck Beattie's First Share on the 2Crafty blog

"My Happy Place"

Hi, it's Beck Beattie here  with my first 2Crafty Chipboard share.  I'm so excited to have this opportunity to share my projects using  the most divine chipboard designs in the industry!     I really had fun using the chipboard in some different ways,  but the most fun would have been stamping with the chipboard to create  more interest and depth to my page and I'm even going to show you how!      

I simply created some grey watercolour on my mat, dipped 'Circle lace panel' into it.

 and then stamped into the background of my page.

And here is the finished effect.

I decided to leave the "tiny film strips" natural to contrast.

I thought a little gloss would look nice on the 'My Happy Place' title so I coloured it 

with black irRESISTibles, allowed it to dry and then adhered to my page.

 I added Tinby Designs Metallic melts to the 'Squiggly Hearts' with a base of
 light blue ink for this pretty effect on the hearts.

I love the way the use of the chipboard in different ways really adds interest to the overall look.        2Crafty Chipboards Used:   Circle Lace Panel   My Happy Place word  Squiggly Heart Cluster Tiny Film strips   

For my second layout, I created a different look page, again having fun 

with the chipboard in some different ways

"This is YOU"

I love how the chipboard pieces create a beautiful feature to this page.

I coloured the 'Circle Revolution Frame' with black ink followed by

 Tinby Designs  Metallic melts in Patina.  I then also rubbed some 

metallic lustre in 'turquoise' for added interest.

The 'This is YOU' title is again coated in Tinby Designs Metallic Melts but with a 

base of blue ink.  See the different effect using the same colour embossing melts with

 different colour ink pad bases.  I also rubbed a little blue metallic lustre over the top.

I love the 'Dotty bits' and used them to stencil texture paste through onto the 

background as well as giving it a light spray of colour with some Lindy Stamp gang 

spray in Dark Chocolate Truffle.   I also added some colour to the top of the

 texture paste dots left behind with a paint brush using the same spray liquid.
