After prepping the paper with clear gesso then added some inked images with a stencil I used texture paste on the chipboard pieces

I then began layering colours with Finnabair green and grey from the Golden hour pack, brusho orange and Magical tibetan poppy teal powders

I then began layering the chipboard with resin elements, flowers and coloured art stones.

For the title piece I inked it with peeled paint and then heat embossed it with sage embossing powder.

'Gorgeous Girl' Layout by Rachael Funnell

Hello there 2 Crafty fans!

Rach with you today, sharing some more 

September 2 Crafty inspiration... 

This layout featuring my gorgeous girl and these

2 Crafty Chipboard:

 

2020

Doily Disc set

Aztec Arrow

ATC - Title stick set 1

Tiny film strip

As usual I start with adding some stamping, paper layers and fussy cutting...

Then it was onto preparing the chipboard, 

adding a thick of coat of gesso to a couple of  Doily Disc's, 

then cut one of those disc, 3/4 - 1/4 before adhering them to my page..

Wanting to make a bit of a statement with the Tiny film strip

So! I went with inking it black, cutting it in half then placing

either side of my photos's...

Next! with a more subtle approach

 to the 2020 inking it in sliver..

Then onto the Aztec Arrow, I gave it 2 coats of gesso

before adhering it.... And lastly the Gorgeous Girl -my title

from the ATC - Title stick set 1 where I have inked it pink...

And then finalizing my layout with some black splattering....

Thanks! so much for stopping by...

Hopefully I have inspired you in some way!!

Until next time xx

"You Are Awesome" By Tammy Klingner

Hello there!

Tammy here today to share my latest....

 A layout documenting my son's first job!!

Yep he is awesome!

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

"Assorted Arrows"

"Aidan's Arrows"

"You are awesome title"

"Aztec Arrows Set 1"

I began by using the "Aidan's Arrows" as a stencil.

I placed them randomly on the page and then added some spritz.

When I lifted them up, they had left a cool background pattern.

I then added a few splodges of paint to the pieces of "Aidan's Arrows"

 Chipboard to give it a grungy look.

Such a cool way to use chipboard - a 2 for 1 technique!!

I applied white gesso to a few of the "Assorted Arrows" and then added a
few layers of spritz and ink until I'd achieved the colour I was after.

I then added these randomly to the layout.

I applied the same technique to the 'awesome' part of the "You are Awesome" Title.

To the reminder of the title, I added black paint.

It gave a nice grungy contrast.

Finally, I added black paint to one of the arrows from the NEW "Aztec Arrows Set 1".

I LOVE everything about this piece of chippy!!

The size, the style.

Just gorgeous!!

There you have it!!

A grungy boy layout this time.

I hope that this has inspired you today to try a bit of grunge,
or try using your chippy as a stencil.

I'll be back again a bit later in the month.

If you can't wait that long, feel free to check out my BLOG.

Love Tam

'His Smile' layout by Rachael Funnell

Hello 2 Crafty fans!

  Rach with you today sharing my newest creation, 

a layout featuring my handsome teenager son 

& some great 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces...

2 Crafty Chipboard:

Aztec arrow

 His Smile - 1 of the new pieces for 2 Crafty August release

ATC - Tiny arrows

Light bulbs

Small Steampunk gears

Then layout came together relatively quickly

I started with a mixed media background....

by adding a coat of clear gesso, lots of stamping & a little colour..

Next I added some paper layers & my photo..

Then it was onto the chipboard pieces & sticking with the colour scheme!
I heat embossed all chipboard pieces with either teal, black or dark blue.....

Wanting a more rugged/uneven finish to the 

Steampunk corner, I decide to first pull away a thin layer of chipboard 

from only some parts of the corner before embossing ...

For my title His Smile is one of 2 Crafty August release 

I first given it a 2 coats of gesso, 

before heat embossing bottom half of the word Smile...

I am really happy with how my page has turned out!!!

Thanks for stopping by
Hopefully I have inpsired you in some way today! 

Until next time!
