June Inspiration - Two Layouts To Share
By Di Garling

  "Together"
 
Hi there bloggers. Thanks for calling by.
Today I have two layouts to share with you.
 
But before we start...
Please remember while your here be sure you have
become a blog follower & leave a blog comment to
be eligible to go in our monthly draw for a great chippie prize pack.

The first one is a pic of myself & my two beautiful Grandbabies. I don't think 
either of them was real sure about what was going on !!! I have printed my
photo out in sepia so I could use these beautiful brown tones on my layout.
 
 2Crafty Chipboard Used
Festive Vine
6" Messy Square Frames
Together - title

  I created a mixed media background, but first I coated this denim look paper in some
clear gesso to protect it. I got out just about everything I owned in these bronze tones
& just kept adding, some of this & some of that !!!

All the chipboard was treated in the exact same way.
A coat of white gesso & then some distress ink & a
brush over with some water to give a blended shabby look.

I love this "Together" title. Just perfect.
 
 Here you can see the "Messy Frames" around my photo. I have only used
the middle sized one & I have saved the others for later.

 Here you can see where I have cut the "Festive Vines" into several pieces
& I have simply poked the pieces in here & there amongst the flowers.

Don't you just love that big brass fly!!!! I do. :)
 
  Lots of string, corrugated, bronze mica flakes, bronze crushed glass, if
it was the right colour, I added it. I really enjoyed creating this layout.
 
 
 
"Moments"
 
For my second layout todayI have gone with a Gelato coloured background.

 
2Crafty Chipboard Used
Cherish the Moments - title (cut up)\
French Lace Border
Groovy Flowers
6" Skeleton Clock Frames
Bamboo Palms (I just used the leaves)

  First up I gave all the chipboard a light coat of gesso, this acts as a base coat.
Then I coloured the "French Lace Border" with my Gelatos & used it
vertically on my page.


I wanted a small title so I used the "Cherish the Moments" title, but I have 
cut the word moments off & just used it seperately on its own. I wanted 
to have my word just sitting on top of the flowers & I left it plain white.


In the photo below you can see I have simply inked the small "Skeleton Clock Frame" with
a black ink pad to make it stand out. I have sprinkled a few "Groovy Flowers" around the
 page. These were also coloured with Gelatos too.


  Lastly I have used some leaves that I had cut off the "Bamboo Palm". I heat embossed
these & then wiped a little gold/green ink over for effect.
Hey presto, all done.
 
 
  Well thats all from me today, I hope I have inspired you in some small way.
