'Decide to' - Canvas

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I have used on 'Decide to' Canvas...  

  With my Canvas I wanted to frame this fabulous inspiring quote & thought the  very funky 'Art deco' frame would work perfectly....I didn't want to loss the detail  on the frame so I gave it just light coat of gesso & finished it of with some turquoise color!!    

  This 6' clock face frame has a coat of gesso & it ended up also getting some black splatters...   

 I cut a 12x12 Circular board piece into smaller pieces & inked with black ink!

Also I gave both ATC - Design elements & Checkerboard clumps a coat of gesso,

 then inked the ATC - Design elements with purple ink...  

  I then inked some Checkerboard clumps pieces pink, teal & left some white.....  

With this 'Graceful butterly' I gave it a couple of coats of gesso, 
 then sprayed it with some pink mist....

  I removed the circle from the attitude word & inked it black.......       For my second project is this layout....
'Go See Do Explore'

  2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I have used on this layout......  

  I didn't want to over power my photo & have used a couple of the 'Asst arrows'   & the words Go See Do Explore from the 'Mini Travel words set 1'   I left these pieces raw... I think it worked perfectly!   

  I"m a REALLY BIG FAN of using negative/leftover pieces. Here  peaking out the  sides is a negative/leftover piece from the Interlocking grid panel... I gave it a good  coat of gesso & then added splatters of black & teal then.....  If your like me & love to have layers & dimension in your layouts I think its a great way to used up these pieces....  :)  

  Also! I gave a couple of  6' Circle revolution frames a coat of gesso....  

  Added black ink to some Mini & Medium sized Steampunk gears...  

Here the 'Asst Arrows' have good coat of gesso .... Most pieces have ended up getting
some splatters of black & teal, which is a nice finishing touch I think.....

  Before I go I have two more layouts to share....  Both are for 2 Crafty Chipboard DT guest designing  over at CSI. (Colors, Stories, ( Inspiration Blog) as Guest Detectives...... I was inpsired to solve Case File No 194

November Inspiration By Priscilla Lim

Hi 2Crafty fans, My turn today to share some inspiration.  Usually in November, many will be sharing Christmas themed inspirations. However, in Singapore we are sunny 365 days a year.  That means we don't get a snowy winter, but summer the whole year through! The layout I'm sharing below is to document my boy's first sailing experience.  The sentiment chipboards, Go, See, Do are from the Mini Word Travel Set  and is just so apt for this day :)  

  You may have noticed that I left some of the chipboards in their original raw state.  Well I purposely left it in it's natural body cause 2Crafty chipboards are just  so gorgeous.  Here are some close ups for a better look.

  I hope that this layout will also break the barrier for new crafters that are sitting  on the fence about their creativity with chipboards.  To add on, I have created a short 6 minute video on the whole creative process.  Thank you in advance for taking some time to watch it.
