'♥ my Niece' layout by Rachael Funnell

Hello 2 Crafty fans!
Rach with you today! sharing this fun bright with a hint of grunge layout, my first creation for September...
 When receiving the newly August 2018 Mini released Chipboard title  my Niece...
 I was instantly inspired & knew straight away what photo I wanted to scrapbook....

' my Niece'

 2 Crafty Chipboard used:

Tangled lamp post (March 2018 release)
2017
Brooke's swirl
Fine word set 3 (August 2018 release)
♥ my Niece (August 2018 release)
ATC - branches

Starting with  my Niece title I gave it a coat of gesso, once it dried then inked the  with teal & the words my niece with a fuchsia pink...

Another gorgeous August 2018 release chipboard piece I used was 'Memories' from the Fine word set 3..  I wanted the fine word Memories sitting on the to stand out a little more AND what better way than using black...

To bring some focus back to the B & W photo, I decided to use a leftover/ negative circle chipboard piece from the 6" Circle revolution frame... First giving it a couple of coats of gesso, once dried inking with a pastel Apricot colour...

The Brooke's chipboard swirl I've used first cut into 3 smaller pieces inked with a fuchsia pink & just wasn't loving it, SO I add a few coats of gesso hence why the swirls have a some pink tones... which I was really happy with!  While the ATC- Branches have a a couple of coats of gesso! 

Here to the right side of photo is a (March 2018 release) Tangled lamp post also coated with gesso.. 

AND this 2017 chippy piece has been inked with black.... 

That's it from me today! THANKS for stopping by & I'll be back later on in the month with more inspiration...
