Brothers Make The Best Friends

Circle Stack

1" Hexagons

Chevron Bits

I wanted to create a bright and fun layout of my husband (dark hair) and his brother (blonde)

I die cut a bunch of hexagons from the paper then layered the circles and hexagons over top

I kept with the bright colors and painted all the pieces to match!

To bring your eye to the photo I used the chevron bits to point to it.

I also wanted to the title to stand out from the other chipboard pieces so I painted it black.

Thanks for stopping by

Hello fellow creative souls, 

I am so excited that you are here with us today as I bring you some inspiration with pictures from our summer vacation trip to Greece where we had a lovely time. For my base I used a vinyl record the size about 11,5 inches that I then decorated with beautiful 2Crafty chipboard pieces.

Brothers are the Best Friends

The yellow frame on the top was painted with acrylic paint and after that I sprayed some golden spray over it. The wonderful phrase was treated with the same yellow paint as the frame but then I added three different golden sprays on it. The little clockface was painted with black gesso and some golden coloured sprays and I finished it off with some glossy accents.

The big clockface was first treated with a layer of black gesso then I added two different waxes on it to make it shine a little bit and give it a little color, it's a brushing technique which is so settisfying to do. On the rest of the chipboard pieces I added two layers of white gesso before I altered them further. 

The green chipboard pieces are treated with some green spray & then I blow dried it while spraying them love that effect. On the Artdeco frame I did the brush technique with some white gesso and in the end some vintage golden wax
