April Inspiration by Kavitha

Hello 2crafty fans, 

 Kavitha here today to share my March projects.

"Precious" - Canvas

2crafty chipboard used:

Sammi's swirl

Frame Lucys flourish

Heat charms

Fine word set 2

For my first project I created a canvas.

I have used Frame Lucy's flourish to frame the picture 

and I used Sammi's swirls behind my photo.

I tucked in the heart charm among the floral cluster.

I love how it connects the layout.

All the chipboard pieces are heat embossed with
teal and pink embossing powder.

"A Love Story"

 2crafty chipboards used:

6" circle revolution frames

Heidi's vines

A love story

 For my second project I created a soft feminine layout.

I love this picture I got from Pinterest,loved the ethereal look,

so to match that I kept my layout very soft and shabby.

I created a floral arrangement on one side of my picture with Heidi's vine
 as base, I used circle revolution frame behind my picture

and finished it off with the title piece.

All the chipboard pieces are heat with embossed with pink and 

white embossing powder.

"Lovely"

2 crafty chipboard used:

Elise's border

Frame Lucys flourish

I have an extra layout to share today.

I have used Frames lucy's flourish and Elise's border behind the photo.

I first gave a coat of gesso, colored it with

color bloom spray and gave

a coat of crackle paste on top for weathered look.

Thank you for stopping by.

''Love''

I wanted to show you two things that you can put together, grunge style and the flower side... 

 2Crafty Chipboard Used...

Elsie's Border 

Addy's butterflies

Frames Tiny Victorian
Fine word set 1

I used a beautiful paper from 7dots studio that was already grungy so, I just
 had to add some turquoise mist and gesso drips to finish my background. 

I painted my chipboards Elsie's Border with gesso and turquoise mist. I did the same

 treatment for the Frame Tiny Victorian. I put some gesso with my finger after the turquoise. 

I colored the butterfly in peach to fit with the peach flowers.

For the title, I just added some gesso on it to get a bright touch.

''Cherish''

A purple layout with some black on it to get a deep touch.

My 2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Pointed doily frames

Chloe's vines 

Mini words set 2

Skeleton leaves 

Fray's flourishes

 I started my layout with some ink and black modeling paste on my background.

I painted the Fay's flourishes white white gesso and I added some pan pastel black
 to make a shadow.
The Chloe's vines were painted with black matte paint to create a contrast with Fay's flourishes.

The leaves and the title have been painted with white gesso

 and I also applied some green paint with my finger. 

The pointed doily frame has been cut to make two pieces to
create dimension & has been painted also with white gesso.

I added some black, green, lilac drips all over the layout at the end.

Hi 2Crafty fans,  hope you are managing to get some crafting done on these cold winter days!

Today I would love to share with you my latest 2Crafty Creation.

As you probably are aware by now, my most favourite 2Crafty chipboard pieces are those that are very swirly and flourishy!!  When it comes to creating, I could be diagnosed with OCFSD (Obsessive Compulsive Flourishy Swirls Disorder!!).  Flourishes and Swirl designs appear on nearly all of my creations, and to be honest, it makes me creatively happy to add a whimisical touch to my projects!  As with any of my projects,  I don't feel that they are finished until some form of flourish or swirl takes centre stage!!  It is wonderful that Vanessa has a reputation for including such amazing chipboard designs in the 2Crafty range to suit my own personal creative fetishes!!

Now, onto the important details about my layout ....

I have used the following:

• Shirley Small Frame
• Shirley Large Frame
• Elsie's Border

I have used "Ivy Glimmermist" to colour the chipboard pieces.  I postioned a photo behind the large Shirley's Frame, and cut the small Shirley's frame in half, and positioning it over the manilla tag to draw ones eye to the journalling.  I cut the Elsie's border in half, and postitioned it behind the top and bottom of the large Shirley's Frame, elongating the border.

To adhere the chipboard pieces to my project, I have used dimensional magic.

Here are some close up pic's of the finer details ...

Thanks for stopping by the 2Crafty blog.  I hope you have been inspired to add some whimical 2Crafty chipboard to your next project!!

Smiles,
Nina
