October Inspiration by Kavitha

Hello everyone,

Kavitha here today to share my October projects. 

"Life is wonderful"

First I have a layout to share with autumn colors.

I used "Frame Jenna"  behind my photo. I love the delicate feel it gives.
It has been coated with a layer of dark brown silk acrylic glaze.

For the title "Life is wonderful" I dabbed some white gesso first 

and used black and creme sprays to get the chalky finish

I cut the border design "Ellas Border" into two pieces and 

tucked them on top and bottom of my arrangement.

I dabbed some gesso first and then sprayed a few layers
of creme and orange shades .

"Altered Box"

For my second project I have an off the page project.
Its a Tim Holtz configuration box done in shabby chic style.

 I cut the Tahnyas Border design into half and used it as the base for my flower cluster.

Since I have used lighter colors I left the chippie in a natural color 

to give some contrast.

I used a Helena's Corner design inside of the box. I just dabbed some
prima chalkboard paint-egg shell with sponge

The title forever from "mini words" is also coated with chalk board paint.

An Angel Story by Elena Olinevich

    Hello 2Crafty fans. Today I would like to share some  layouts I made for my baby son. He had his Christening ceremony this summer and I have found so many extraordinary photos that I decided to make an album for him.

   This time all my projects are inspired by a story I read recently in a Russian book. The idea is that you have to live your life in a good way, & that while you are being good, your angels can rest, because they can rely on you, that you won't do something bad, and thus they can help someone else who needs their assistance more, at this moment.  Beautiful story, isn't it?

So let's start and keep in my mind, that babies are like angels.

  My first layout  is called

 "While the Angels  Rest"

 I decided to use just very simple techniques this time,  to keep the
 delicate  mood of the layouts..

  So I have used Chandalier 1 

 I covered it with primer, then I added modelling paste, embossed it
 with a heat gun using Starburst embossing powder.
After that I inked the edges with brown chalk ink.

 

For the Clock Face Frames I used just the primer and embossing powder,

crackle paint and random dots of modelling paste.
 For the second part. The same technique was applied on Corner Rosie's

My second layout  is called
 "The Main Thing"

  Nothing special again, I just misted the
 Esther Name Plate

with Starburst mists.

Next I have just used the same techniques as I did
 with the  Helena's Corner.

Here I have  just added  some touches of gesso.

For the Iron Fence I covered it with Gesso, then Crackle paint
and embossed with Ruby Black embossing powder.

Here  I have  embossed the chandelier from Vintage elements 1.

  Here I have used a  Mini Fob Watch, which was just inked with Distress ink.

My last layout  was made for Manor House Creations,
& since the photo was taken on this same special day,
I have decided to include it also.
This layout is called

   Cherished Moments

 I have used the same techniques that I have already shared above.
 Here are some close ups on title Cherished Moments:
