"Happy Together" Decorative Panel with Amy Voorthuis

 Hi lovely 2Crafty Friends, 
I hope this post will find you well and that you are enjoying your day!
I know where I will on this beautiful summer day {on my vacation in Greece}
 For today I have another mixed media panel to share with you all and this time I used
 a picture of Jeroen and me on a wedding of his co-worker last May. 

Happy Together

 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Industrial Spring Set
10" Decorative Panel Wire Circle
Mini Word Set 2
6" Frame Messy Squares
Fine Word Set 1
Palm Leaves Set
Arrow Word Set 2
Photo Adornment Larindas Flourish

I finally found the time to use that amazing 10" Decorative Panel Wire Circle I had that one in my stash for a while now. Firstly I altered it with white gesso and then some rust paste {yellow & brown} after that I used two matte waxes to coördinate with the papers I have used here. On the Photo Adornment Larindas Flourish I used a technique that I love very much I have used a crackle paste on it with some magical powder & some true snow. 

 The words that I used on my work are just gessod with white gesso and then I added two layers of white embossing powder. The frames are altered with only a little wax in two colors. The Industrial Spring Set was altered with some white gesso and some matte wax in just one color & on the palm leaves I used two colors of matte wax. 

So this was my second project of the month june, thank you so much for stopping by I will be back next month with another project hope to see you back then.... but firstly I off on vacation yeahhh

"Brothers make the best Friends" by Amy Voorthuis

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 make the best Friends: 

 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Round Flourish Frame
Clock Face Frames
Circle Word Tag Set 1
Fine Word Set Months
Artdeco Frame
Felicity Flourish
Flourish Adornment Set 5
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
