2 Crafty Chipboard : April Inspiration by Hina

Hello Friends..

So I am back this month on 2Crafty Blog to inspire you all. This month I created a canvas and a Layout. So let's start with the canvas.

Mixed Media Canvas - "Precious"

I created this canvas using some really gorgeous pieces of chipboards from 2Crafty, specially the tattoo design that I really liked.

I layered my other elements with the chippies, overlapping where needed.

For the tattoo swirl, lacey border and loopy font "Precious", I applied the same technique. I applied Finnabair's metallic acrylic paint "Romance Pink" roughly with my finger.

After that I did some random stamping on the chippies with black archival ink, followed by distressing the edges. I love adding some details to chippies. I also applied some highlights of Finnabair's wax "white gold" which actually added more interest.

For the butterflies, I used Lindy's spray in denim blue color after a layer of white gesso and then highlighted them with wax.

I loved the outcome of the chippies and they really added to the overall feminine look of the canvas.

Moving on to my next Project....

Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout - "Adventure"

I love nature and love to create nature and travel based themes.

The picture in this layout was clicked on my visit to Wales last summer.

For this Layout I used bubble clumps and some foliage chippies, along with the title.

I embossed the bubble clumps and the title "Adventure" with embossing powder from Lindy's and then slightly distressed the edges that I always love to do. I feel scrapbooking is not complete without some amount of distressing.

For the Foliage chippies, first I applied a layer of white gesso with a sponge and then I used Finnabair's metallic acrylic paint "Golden Moss", just roughly applied with my finger.
