Delight in the every Momentby Tammy Klingner

Hi there creative folk!

Tam here today to share my latest chipboard creation....

'Delight in Every Moment'

Love the way those rainbow butterflies pop against the black!!

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

'Anthea's Butterflies'

'Fine and Fancy Butterfly Set'

'Polaroid Assortment Frames'

*NEW* 'Delight in Every Moment Title' 

To create that rainbow effect on both 'Anthea's butterflies' and 'Fine and Fancy Butterfly Set', I firstly coated them with white gesso.

Once dry, I added watercolours to colour them, and I worked in a striped fashion.

The colours bled together a tiny bit, but this just adds to the gorgeous effect.

I did need to do a couple of coats to get the boldness in the colours.

If you know my work, you know I LOVE COLOUR!!

I coated the 'Polaroid Assorted Frame' in acrylic paint and then swiped some wipe paint around the edges.

Simple yet effective.

As I had so much colour going on, I decided to keep my 'Delight in Every Moment title' simple and white.

It pops off the page.

I love the fineness in the title font - it's a NEW one!

I hope this colourful layout has inspired you today.

Here's my Blog if you'd like to take a look at some more colourful creations.

Much creative love

October Inspiration By Lisa Griffith

'Love'

Hi 2Crafty fans, Lisa here with my projects for this month. First up is a really
shabby pink layout I created about my grandparents using lots of papers, inks,
and of course pretty chipboards!

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

'Dandelions'

'Ingrid's Frame'

'Fine Words Set 1'

These dandelions are my new favourite piece, I can't get enough of them!

I was going for a really shabby look so I just painted all my 

chipboards with white acrylic paint and then tucked them into my layout.

My second layout is with a photograph of my little guy.

'Dream Big'

I love the title chippies so much, they always add a lot of drama to a layout. Here I used 

the piece 'Dream Big' and I painted it with black acrylic paint so it would really stand out.

2 Crafty Chipboards used:

'Anthea's Butterflies'

'Sharon's Butterflies'

'Dream Big'

'Birds Set'

I painted the 'Anthea's Butterflies' with white paint and then lightly stamped

them with black ink.

I hope I have inspired you a little,

See you next month!

'Smile' by Lisa Griffith

Hello! It's my turn up on the blog today and I have created two layouts to show you. The first is a layout I created with a some fun photos I took with my son on our summer vacation.   "Smile....Happy..."

  2Crafty Chipboard Used:

 Antheas Butterflies

Turkish Lattice Panel

Word Circle Set #1

 

  I kept it simple and just painted my chippies white to make them really stand out,

and then added just a little bit of my pink paint.

For the butterflies I painted them white and then stamped on them with brown ink.

"Don't Forget"

For my second layout I chose a photograph of the amazing artist Frida Khalo.

For this layout I chose the following 2Crafty Chipboard:
Circle Revolution Frames
 Flower Clusters
Groovy Flower

For the pieces of 'Flower bunch' I covered them with a coat of white acrylic paint

 and then used some pink and peach gelatos with a little bit of water for color.

 Then I inked the edges of the flowers with brown ink to give a worn aged look.

For the pieces of the 'Groovy Flowers' and a piece of the 'Circle Revolution Frame', 

 I first covered them in dark brown ink and then I embossed them in copper and then 

again in white embossing powder that had gold glitter for a vintage weathered look.

I hope I have inspired you a little today....

See you next time!
