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.

2Crafty Chipboard Used..
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 &
