April Share with Beck BT

Hi, it's Beck Beattie here. Today I am sharing some fun projects featuring 2Crafty Chipboard of course!   I love how effective they can look in both altered and natural states.  
Today I'm going to share with you the use of both!      But before we start.... Please remember while you are here  to become a blog follower & leave a blog comment to

be eligible to go in our monthly draw for a great chippie prize pack.

  "Be Yourself"

 I was playing along with the Kraft+ challenge for this month which is black and white
on kraft with inspiration images.  2Crafty are a sponsor this month so it is an extra
 awesome month to play along and hopefully win yourself some yummy chipboard!!

For my title I applied a coat of Indigoblu Cottage Paint in Pantry white.
 Given the highly pigmented paints I only needed to apply one coat.

I love the natural kraft colour of the chipboard and thought they worked well to break
 up the colours of the background, so I left both the diamond panel and star frame
pieces which I cut up and adhered in clumps, in their natural state.

For the Harlequin clumps I simply applied some black permanent ink with my
ink pad to colour them and adhere in clumps of three around the page.

"Amaze yourself Canvas"

For my canvas I layered some fun 2Crafty pieces for a striking effects onto a  layered mixed media canvas.    

I once again painted the Amaze Yourself chipboard title with

 Indigoblu Cottage paints in 'Pantry White'  

The background piece I applied a coat of black ink by rubbing over it.

For the key I first coloured it with a gold marker and then embossed it through my
die cut machine with a sweet embossing folder, love how it came!

'Curious' by Lisa Griffith

'Curious'

Hello 2 Crafty friends! I have several projects to share with you today. 

 Before we start,...

MONTHLY BLOG FOLLOWERS PRIZE,

to be in the draw for our monthly chippie prize pack,

  all you have to do is be a 2Crafty Blog follower and remember to 

comment on any of the girls gorgeous inspiration in the month, the more times you 

comment, the more chances to WIN!

My first project today is a mixed media layout inspired by this sweet

 photo of a girl reading Alice in Wonderland.

 Some of my favourite 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces are the panels and borders. 

I love to cut them up and use different sections around my layout.

2 Crafty Chipboard products used:

'Diamond Panel'

'Tahnya's Border'

I painted both chip boards with brown ink and then roughly heat 

embossed them with metallic embossing powder.

"Gift Bag"

My next project is a kraft brown paper bag that I decorated. 

I thought it would be nice to use it to wrap a gift for a friend.

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

'Flourish Adornment Set 1'

'St. Nick's Snowflakes'

'Hello Beautiful'

For the title piece and the snowflakes I first painted them with white gesso, then added

 some pink gelato,  then I embossed them with aged silver embossing powder.

For the flourish piece I painted it with Lumiere metallic silver paint. 

I love how frosty all the chippies look in silver.

My last project is an art journal spread that I created for another team,

but used the beautiful 'Glenda's Swirl' painted with brown ink to add some vintage flair.

Thanks for stopping. Until next time.
