'Decide to' - Canvas

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I have used on 'Decide to' Canvas...

With my Canvas I wanted to frame this fabulous inspiring quote & thought the very funky 'Art deco' frame would work perfectly....I didn't want to loss the detail on the frame so I gave it just light coat of gesso & finished it of with some turquoise color!!

This 6' clock face frame has a coat of gesso & it ended up also getting some black splatters...

I cut a 12x12 Circular board piece into smaller pieces & inked with black ink!

Also I gave both ATC - Design elements & Checkerboard clumps a coat of gesso,

then inked the ATC - Design elements with purple ink...

I then inked some Checkerboard clumps pieces pink, teal & left some white.....

With this 'Graceful butterly' I gave it a couple of coats of gesso,
then sprayed it with some pink mist....

I removed the circle from the attitude word & inked it black....... For my second project is this layout....
'Go See Do Explore'

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I have used on this layout......

I didn't want to over power my photo & have used a couple of the 'Asst arrows' & the words Go See Do Explore from the 'Mini Travel words set 1' I left these pieces raw... I think it worked perfectly!

I"m a REALLY BIG FAN of using negative/leftover pieces. Here peaking out the sides is a negative/leftover piece from the Interlocking grid panel... I gave it a good coat of gesso & then added splatters of black & teal then..... If your like me & love to have layers & dimension in your layouts I think its a great way to used up these pieces.... :)

Also! I gave a couple of 6' Circle revolution frames a coat of gesso....
Added black ink to some Mini & Medium sized Steampunk gears...

Here the 'Asst Arrows' have good coat of gesso .... Most pieces have ended up getting
some splatters of black & teal, which is a nice finishing touch I think.....

Before I go I have two more layouts to share.... Both are for 2 Crafty Chipboard DT guest designing over at CSI. (Colors, Stories, ( Inspiration Blog) as Guest Detectives...... I was inpsired to solve Case File No 194
