Two Layouts To Share By Di Garling

" Adore & Cherish"

  Hi there 2 Crafty fans. Thanks for calling by the blog. Today I have two layouts to share with you using the wonderful 2Crafty chipboard shown below. Today I have chosen to do a monochromatic colour scheme.  

   2Crafty Chipboard Used..

Celia's Flourish Frame

Leafy Shrub Set #2

Mini Words #2  

 I have based this layout on the current  BAP sketch over on the Prima blog.  

 Here you can see I have used a couple of pieces of the "Leafy Shrub Set #2".
This set is definitely one of my go to pieces.

All of the chippies I have used on this layout were firstly coated with gesso.
Then on this piece I coloured it by adding layers of sprays & mica powders
until I got the colour I was after. Then I brushed a little more gesso on for highlights.

I have used both the words "Cherish" & Adore". for my title.
Both of these pieces are from the "Mini Words Set #2".

Both the words & this gorgeous "Celias Flourish Frame" were just simply  given a lick of white acrylic paint. Too easy. I think the stark white makes a nice contrast to the monochromatic colours of the mixed media background.  

 

    " Live Your Adventure"

For my second layout today I have gone with an earthy 

colour palette using the chippie pieces shown below.

Live Your Adventure-Title

Harlequin Clumps

Brick Panel

Bird Set

I started out with this awesome NEW title to the 2Crafty range.

I simply coloured it with some Distress Ink & clear embossing powder & 

heat embossed it & then I brushed on a little Shimmerz Inklings in a hit & miss 

fashion to add a kind of rustic metallic look over the top.

I cut the  "Brick Wall" panel into pieces & I heat embossed
using Lindy's Stamp Gang copper embossing powder.
Then I brushed over some Shimmerz
"Blue My Mind" Inklings.

I did exactly the same to the "Harlequin Clumps".

The two things combined gives a great patina effect. 

Lastly the birds were coated with gesso, then using my finger I blobbed on some

texture paste, dried that off with a heat gun so that it would bubble up like this,

& then I finished off with a wipe over of Distress Ink in Brushed Corduroy.

Well thats all from me today. I will see you back here again next month & remember to become a blog follower & leave a blog comment to be elegible to go in our monthly draw for a great chippie prize pack.   To Visit My Blog click HERE
