"Picture Perfect Moment" Mixed Media Panel By Amy Voorthuis

  Hi lovely creative peeps, 
For today's post I made another mixed media panel, 2Crafty Chipboards sells amazing 10" panels in different shapes for this project I used the oval one. And I off course used a picture of our Abbey blowing bubbles a while back {this picture was on my desk for ages but with every project I did I finally used another picture lol} Enjoy my post.....

Picture Perfect Moment:

Beautiful 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
10" Decorative Panel Solid Oval
Flower Petals
Floral Branch
Window Shutter Set 3
Lattice Leaves
Heidi's Vines
Mini Title Stick Set 2
Fine Word Set 3

I treated almost all the chippies in different ways but for the Heidi's Vines & Floral branch I used the same technique. I just colored it with magicals and a brush without gesso-ing them first. I only gessod the window shutters, the word moment & the flower petals. The last one I want them to look more of a 3D flower so I wetted them first to seperate the petals and currled them a little.

 I saw that technique a couple of years ago and I finally gave myself some time to do it. After that I spray paint them with magicals & some wax. The lattice leaves & tittle stick I just left raw with a little bit of brown matt wax. 

Thank you so much for stopping by! 
I hope I have inspired to create something pretty and have fun while doing so.

“A Pop of Colour” Layout By Chrissy Tingey

Hi everyone, today I have this project to share with you, I chose to 

use a royalty free image with this layout, the colours were stunning and bright, just 

perfect for the layout and chipboard I had in mind.

2Crafty Chipboard Used?....

Flower Petals

Mini Word Set 1

Heart Frame with flowers

I started off by painting the gorgeous "Frame Heart with Flowers” 

pure white to coordinate with some of my fussy cut embellishments, 

it has some very cute little flowers attached to it, I cut 

these off and repositioned them so they 

are seen poking out from my fussy cut flowers

I  then painted those fabulous large “Flower Petals” chipboard in a vibrant

 red colour - matching the colour of the flowers in my photo. 

I Love the “Mini Word Set” sometimes I just want to add a tiny title, these are 

perfect for doing just that - this is also painted in a coordinating colour. 

I have enjoyed adding a splash of colour by painting my chipboard in 

that bright red to coordinate with my photo, it sure makes a statement!!!!! 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope I have inspired you to add some bright colours

to your chipboard, I'll be back next month with two 

more projects.

Beautifully Framed

Hi Everyone, Chrissy here with my first creation for March…

I decided to use this gorgeous 11inch frame as the main focus of my layout. So I wanted to keep the rest of my layout quite simple, which can be difficult for me as I tend to not know when to stop adding embellishments. My base features three layers and the centre consists of descending circles, to finish off my base I have added some stitching.

Flower Petals

Flourish Round Frame

Sammis Swirls x 2

Leaf Set 1

The gorgeous, Large Circle Chipboard Frame stands out on the simple, clean black & white dotted base paper. 

My layers of stamped and fussy cut doodle embellishments are finished off with some gorgeous Flourishes tucked in and around them. 

I have also added the small flower from the “Flower Petals” pack, just tucked this under the centres of the Doodle Clusters. 

More fine and delicate flourish pieces added to the bottom cluster of embellishments.

I think these little Chipboard details look delightful!!

I hope I have inspired you to use these wonderful large Chipboard frames on your creations, I will be back later in the month with another project.

Happy Crafting,

Chrissy Tingey

'HELLO Beautiful'

Hello 2 Crafty fans!

Rach with you today sharing 2 layouts created for April....

Inspired by the colour combo from the photo of my daughter to create 'HELLO Beautiful' layout..

2 Crafty Chipboard used..

2016,

Indian Feathers,

Fanciful Butterflies,

Circle heart frames,

HELLO Beautiful title,

Flower Petals.

With the Flower Petals I decided to emboss a few with a purple & blue, then a couple with gesso.

HELLO Beautiful title has a couple of coats of gesso......

 With the 2016 & Fanciful Butterflies I have inked only the edges with a
Brown Distress ink, just to make the raw chipboard POP a little more..... 

 While the Circle Heart frame I have rubbed over ever so lightly with a brown distress ink...

I have two of the Indian Feathers peeking out, one either side...

 I added a coat of gesso to them and while still wet added a little bit of glitter... 

Once gesso dried added another very light coat of gesso, just to tone down the 

glitter colour & finished off inking the feathers with purple ink!!

For my 2nd layout.... 

Once again colour combo inspired by the photo...

This time of my son! Absolutely LOVE this photo of him!
