'Be big as the Journey is small' - by Emma Zappone

Hello everyone,

Em with you today and I have an 8x8 canvas to share with you.
It has Steampunk vibes.

And here are the chipboard pieces used....

12x12 Weathered Clock Face Frames
Steampunk Gears Medium
Steampunk Gears small
6" Circle Zipper Frame set

I trimmed the medium Clock face to create an 'edge' to place on the base of my layers on the canvas.

The clock and the zipper frame both have the same finish. It started with a mix of complimentary colours in distress oxides, and then finished with a clear emboss.

The gears are painted with an acrylic ink in burnt sienna and raw sienna.
I love how these sit nestles into the flower clusters.

The small elements really add to the completeness of the project.

I hope you enjoy this share and get inspired by some of the elements.

Have a great weekend and I will catch you all again soon.

Till then, stay Crafty
Em xx

 

"fantastic day" Layout by Marie Sabatier

 Hello everyone,

Here is my second inspiration for this month of February, a layout inspired 

by the theme of travel with a grunge style. 

Using a photo of my grandson posing. I love it!

"fantastic day"

The 2CraftyChipbord used:

- Mini Title Stick Set 5

- 12 X 12 Clock Face Frames

- Stars Pack

- Geometric Arrows

- Steampunk Arrow Set 1

- Steampunk Gears Small 

- Industrial Light Bulbs

I apply a layer of white gesso, I repeat myself systematically during each presentation, 

but I prefer to mention it. 

Mostly, I used Oxide Distress inks. 

I started with the chipboard "Clock Face Frame", I love it so much. 

To embellish it, I use the color "Frayed Burlap"

I then embellished the "Stars" with the colors "rustic wilderness" and "mustard seed, 

by not applying myself, to give an aged effect.

On the chipboard "Steampunk arrow" I mixed the colors "faded jeans" and "rustic wilderness". 

By combining different colors, I was able to superimpose the chipboards while leaving them visible.

I left the chipboards "Mini Title" in a natural way, they harmonize so well!

Playing with these beautiful chipboards is a real pleasure, they perfectly sublimate a layout.

Good scrap!

Marie
