Tam's September Share

Hello there Crafty folk!

Tam here today to share my latest 2Crafty Chipboard creation.

This one's titled:

"This Girl"

A layout about my gorgeous niece. Isn't she just divine?

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

"This Girl Title"

"Rose Set"

"Flower Doilies"

"Pine Needle Wreath"

I began by painting all of the chippy with a couple of coats of white gesso.

To the "Pine Needle Wreath" I added white acrylic paint. Simple, easy, yet a great contrast.

I then painted the largest doily from the  "Flower Doilies" set with Dylusions Ink Sprays.

I love using this technique.  Instead of spritzing them on, I open the bottles and
 paint it on with a paintbrush. It gives a more intense colour.

For this I used the colours 'After Midnight' and 'Lavender'. I love adding
them over the top of each other in sections as this creates an 'ombre feel'.

I repeated this process on the roses in the "Roses Set".

I then painted the leaves/branches with white acrylic paint and
then added some doodling with a black marker.

I love that this ties the layout together, and the effect on the chippy
 co-ordinates with the flowers that I stamped and fussy cut out.

To the "This girl title", I added white paint to the bottom word,
 and added navy acrylic paint to the cursive word.

I love the 2Crafty titles with the dual fonts, and I love
painting them different colours to match my layouts.

So that's it from me today, I hope it's inspired you to get creating.

I'll be back again soon to share again with you all,
until then you can head to my BLOG for more.
