Hi 2 Crafties!!
Tammy here to share my June creations with you.
First up is a layout titled
"Live out Loud"
A bright fun layout celebrating friendships.
I am a big fan of colour!! and as this layout celebrates a fun occasion vibrant colour is perfect.
I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:
'Flower Doilies'
'Grid Bits'
'Lattice Leaves'
'Live out Loud Title'
I began by adding paint to the background.
Onto this I applied a stencil with transparent gloss gel.
This just gives a bit of texture to the background without detracting from the photos.
I added some stamping with black ink to help blend the paint into the cardstock.
I then applied gesso to the 'Grid Bits'.
and also to the 'Flower Doilies'.
I painted the 'Live out Loud' title in black paint
I also painted the 'Lattice Leaves' with the black paint too.
I love how the black pops against the colour and also the white background.
I finished off the layout by layering up behind the photos and adding a cluster of flowers.
Finally to finish I added a few flicks and splashes of black paint,
and some quotes to help tell the story.
My next creation is totally different.
I've gone grungy and rustic.
It's titled:
"Adventure awaits"
I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:
"Chevron Bits"
"Steampunk Medium Gears"
"Steampunk Small Gears"
"Chain lengths"
"Adventure loopy title"
"Chained Circle Frames"
"Assorted Arrows"
I grunged up the background paper by adding some stamping in black ink,
and also some flicks and blobs of spritz.
I also added some random strips of paper, to which I applied gesso.
As I wanted some of the chipboard to look like rusty metal, I applied Finnabair's Rust Effect Paste.
I was thrilled with how it came out. So simple.
The rust comes in 3 colours - Red Rust, Brown Rust and Gold Rust.
I just rubbed it over the chipboard quite randomly.
I did this for the 'Steampunk Small Gears' and 'Steampunk Medium Gears'
and also for the 'Chained Circle Frames' and the 'Chain Lengths'.
I painted a few 'Assorted Arrows' and 'Chevron Bits' in black, and also added
black paint to my title 'Adventure loopy font'.
I then added some extra embellishments - quotes, metal bits and flicks of paint.
I really enjoyed doing a grungy layout.
It's been a long time as I get so distracted by COLOUR!
This layout really reminded me to step out of my comfort zone and try something a little different.
I hope you do too!!
I thought I'd share one more layout that I recently created for Scrap the Girls.
Of course I used 2Crafty Chipboard on it....
I use 2Crafty Chipboard on every layout!!!
It's titled
"Work in Progress"
I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:
'Polaroid Assorted Frames'
'Fine Heart Border'
I painted the 'Fine Heart Borders'
I painted the 'Polaroid Assorted Frames' and then stamped randomly on top of this.
Well that's it from me!
You can see more on my BLOG.
Happy creating!!
