February Inspirations By Jaya Raghuvanshi

Hello 2Crafty fans!   Today I have a few creations to share with you all that I created using 2Crafty chippies.  Hope you will like them.   But before we get started...  Please remember to become a blog follower & leave a comment to
be eligible to go in our monthly draw for a great chippie prize pack. The more comments you leave, the more chances to win.   "Life Documented" 

Some close ups-

  I used the gorgeous "Lavender shrub"  and the beautiful "Dandelions". These are some  of the most wonderful chippies to add to your page. How I love  to build up my clusters with these and they are so versatile!    I heat embossed my chippies in a dark green colour and added some gold embossing powder  on the tips and some random areas. It gives the shrub chippes a beautiful sparkly look.  

  The title  "Life documented" - title has been given two coats with black texture spray.  One of the easiest ways to give a good thick and glossy look to the chippies.   The tiny "Feather" chippie has been heat embossed with gold embossing powder  twice and also has a little hint of copper and greens. Once dry I used a black  fine tip marker and traced the outline.   2 Crafty Chippies used- Dandelions Tiny feather set Lavender shrub Life documented

      My next creation is this altered journal cover in soft colours.   "Altered art Journal"

  After arranging all the chippies and embellishments I decided to alter the chipboards.  

 I  added  crackle paste to the number two on the lower left corner and  microbeads
 to the the Clock face chippies and  rest of the chippies. 

  On the number panel chippie on the top right corner I applied some texture paste  and micro beads. I feel its adds so much to your altered creations when you add  textures to your embellishments and then highlight these. Once the colours on the composition were perfectly dry I used some gesso with a light hand to dry brush and highlight the chipboard pieces.   2Crafty Chippies used- Frame Lucy's flourish Number panel 6" Skeleton Clock face frames

  Hope you like my creations! Have a great day. See you soon again :)    

Life Documented - Always RememberBy Jennifer Snyder

Jennifer Snyder here today!  

I recently received my box of 2Crafty new releases and I always smile.  Opening the

 box and seeing the designs in person is an incredible moment.  So I sat down and

 got to working - pairing the chipboard with the Flying Unicorn kit. 

As crafters, I am betting we all look for versatility when we buy products.

 The little 2Crafty  "Mini Hexagon Clumps" are perfect versatile pieces.  

They are great fillers in clusters, perfect for adding texture to a page, and double as

 both feminine and masculine.  What could be more versatile?  

So on to my first piece. This is a layout I made featuring my Mom.  I took this photo

 in June of her on a family vacation to the ocean in New Hampshire.  It captures her

 fun happy spirit.  My Mom is absolutely the kindest person I know so I wanted to

 surround her in bold beauty. 

The 2Crafty chippies I used are

"Life Documented"-title and "Mini Hexagon Clumps" 

-merely painted bold dark black.

Here are some more close ups.  The papers used are BoBunny and are from

 the September Flying Unicorn kit.  

You can see the chipboard title,"Life Documented" bold and beautifully displayed.

The "mini hexagon clumps" work nicely as cluster fillers here and add pops of texture. 

Layout Two

The second piece is a special page made once again from the Flying Unicorn Sept Kit,

 but the subject matter takes a bit of a turn as a tribute piece.  This is a page made for a friend.

  She sent me the photo of the darling boys, both very special and near to her heart.

In this piece, I used 2Crafty "Frame - Viney Circles", which resembles leaves in a wreath.

  I also used the "Lattice Hearts"  and separated them , though using them together is

 spectacular.  Finally the "Mini Word Set 2" added the perfect sentiment to this page.

Here are more close ups.  The chipboard was painted gold and a little  gold 

and pink embossing powder added to them. 

 Here is a shot to show the beautiful golden glimmer of the lattice heart.

Until next time.
