February Inspiration By Rachael Funnell

Hi 2 Crafty fans!

It's Rach with you today, sharing my layouts for February.....

My first page featuring my boy! 😀

"Live your Adventure"

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

Chained Circle Frames

Live your Adventure title

Triangle Clusters

Wing Set 2

Giant gears

Steampunk gears Small

Steampunk gears Medium

For the Title 'Live your Adventure' I wanted it to stand out sitting on the B& W photo....

so I went with giving it a couple of coats of gesso...... Also I added gesso to the to the

 Chain circle frame, then inked with Tim Holtz -Distress Squeezed Lemonade (yellow) ....... 

Did the same to the Giant gear & couple of the Steampunk gears....

While other Steampunk gears have been inked with a Teal & black....

The Triangle Clusters also have been inked black....

  As I didn't want to lose any of that gorgeous delicate details to the wing, 

I ever so lightly rubbed over with gesso, then using a paint brush, painted on a thinker
coat gesso on the edges....

Leafty Silhouettes

I wanted to create a uniqueness to this fantastic Let your LIGHTSHINE title....

  So I started with a paint brush and I painted on a couple of coats of gesso to the
 'Let your'  and heat embossing the bottom half of LIGHTSHINE with
Nuvo - Glittering gold....

 I was VERY happy with the end result! 😀😀😀

Also! heat emboss with Nuvo - Glittering gold this gorgeous Twinkling Fairy ...

Continuing on with heat embossing..... 

AND with Nuvo - Blue Odyssey these super cute Indian Feathers .

 

Also thoughout my layout I have adding a few beautiful
