"All About Love" Embroidery Hoop with Amy Voorthuis

Hello and good morning lovely 2Crafty friends,
How wonderful of you all to stop by the 2Crafty blog, for today I have a little something else to show you. This time I made a spring embroidery hoop, but my printer was acting up so I didn't used
the picture I wanted too. But this is still a cute picture of your beautiful children Kevin & Abbey! 
Enjoy my post....

All About Love:

Gorgeous 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
 12x12 Weathered Clock Face Frames
11" Celia Frame
One Love Title
Frame Celia's Flourish
Fine Fancy Butterfly Set
Crazy About You

All the chipboard pieces are altered with two layers of white gesso. Then I treated the two celia frames {those are my favorite frames from 2Crafty by far} with two layers wowzers white embossing powder, I also did that with the top part of the word "about" the bottom part I used my alcohol marker in a light denim blue color. I also used that for the word love.

The butterflies are also altered with my alcoholmarker in the color "straw yellow" then I layered them on some light yellow paper from the same collection I used here which is the NEW maja design collection called Spring Garden. On the centers of the butterflies I added some nuvo crystal drops, the clock face I just painted with two colors of acrylic paints in blue & yellow!

 Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project soon hope to see you back then....

"Love Your Gorgeous Smile" Embroidery Hoop with Amy Voorthuis

Goodmorning lovely 2Crafty friends, 
I am so happy you are visiting this blog today for this post I made a embroidery hoop. I really enjoy working with all the pretty chipboard pieces by 2Crafty Chipboard. For this hoop I have of course used a photo of Abbey and I wanted to give you all a spring feeling with my hoop. Enjoy my post....

Love Your Gorgeous Smile: 

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Circle Dot Frames
Leafy Shrub Set 2
Arrow Word Set 2
Your Smile is Like Sunshine
Fine Word Set 2
Hand Drawn Flowers

I gave all the chipboard pieces two coats of white gesso and then I altered them in different ways. The title "Your Smile" was coloured with several matte acrylic paints and the word "Gorgeous"  I gave two layers of white embossing powder to make it a little shiny. I also did that with the arrow and the word "Love"

For the dotted circle frame I also altered it with matte acrylic paint & spray paints and when that was dry I added flatback crystals to match my embroidery hoop. The swirls and leaves are treated with some sprays, metallique paints & posca pens in different colours. I finished of my hoop by adding some white spray.
