"I Love You"
2Crafty Chipboard used:
"Alpha Set 1"
"Soft Feathers"
"Card Sentiments"
"Fencing Wire"
"Tiny Film Strips"
This little frame piece is created using a piece of Kraft paper. I began by writing the
word love all over it in black and white ink.
I stacked my pieces up on to the Kraft paper bit by bit. The "Fencing Wire" is painted
white and then brushed over lightly with a small amount of black to give it a galvanized affect.

The "Tiny Film Strip" I have left raw to compliment the Kraft colour.
The sentiment is made up of a collection of chipboard letters and words
combined with the writing of "love" in the background.

The piece is finished off with the focus piece, a "soft feather" from my favourite
feather set. I simply painted it white and then stamped some script over it. I also
added an actual nib to make it a quill.

I love the depth of this frame. I picked it up from K-Mart or somewhere like that for
only about $4. It makes a really nice little piece once filled with gorgeous chippy.
My next creation is a layout I designed in purples, pinks and teal.
"Just The Girls"
2Crafty Chipboard used:
"Number Panels"
"6" Revolution Circles"
"Just The Girls"
I have to say purple, pink and teal are not colours I normally reach for but I wanted to
give it a go. I began by creating a pinky purple background and then covered the
"Number Panel" with white tissue paper and then stamped over it with black
script stamp. Later I added some more teal over the top.

I used two of the circles from the "6" revolution circle" packs. I simply painted
them teal but later I added some white over the top to soften them slightly.
I used each one to frame the area where my photos would go.
I separated the title "Just the Girls" so I could place half in one circle and the other half
in the other, spreading out the balance of the layout. Again I painted them teal but
so that they would stand out, I didn't soften them with any white.
