Brothers make the BEST friends

Funky arrows

2022

All of my clusters consist with some fussy cut-out paper toadstools & some vellum leaves.

Then a few pieces of foilage from set 4 which I inked then cut them into smaller pieces..

Some SUPER CUTE toadstools, where I inked them both with two colours

 to give them that two-toned look & finish them off by a very lightly brushed over with some gesso..

The beautiful Freda butterfly has been given a nice thick coat of gesso..

what better way to make a statement, by inking the title, the funky arrow & the 2022

all with black ink...

I hope you are inpsired in some way & like my layout as much as I do...

Thanks for popping by..

Until next time

"love LOVE love" Layout and Video by Marie Sabatier

Good morning all,

I am happy to meet you again to present my first layout for this month of May.

We just spent Easter so I chose to make a layout on this theme 

with these pretty chipboard eggs and this photo of my little girl but from last year.

And I also made a video!

"love LOVE love"

TO VIEW VIDEO CLICK HERE

2Crafty Chipboard used:

- Love Floral Cluster

- Easter Eggs Plain

- Fredas Butterlies

- 2020

Here are come close-ups, but feel free to watch the video for more details.

A thin layer of white gesso to prepare the chipboards.

On the "Easter Eggs Plain" chipboards I applied "Lindy's Gang" embossing powder 

in different shades because I wanted to layer them. 

I chose soft shades to match the background of my paper.

I added "2020" to highlight it. I like to add the years, time flies.

I embellished the "Fredas Butterflies" with embossing powder too.

When heating the embossing powder, I sometimes insisted on degrading the color.

They are too beautiful!

I couldn't wait to be able to use this new "Love Floral Cluster" particle board,

it is fresh and springtime.

I hope you liked this layout, especially do not hesitate to watch the video.

Thank you again for your loyalty. 

Happy creation to you.

November Inspiration and Picture Tutorial by Debbie Burns

Hi everyone, Debbie here with you today to share my November projects. 

"Amazing Day"

I love fall colors with their deep rich tones.  I used a picture of a dear friend of mine and
was inspired by the colors in the picture. I applied some random misting on the background.

I embossed the Frame Handrawn Heart with a mixture of spice and chili powder.  On each side of my photo I added Addy's Butterflies, embossed with spice, sage and turquoise embossing powders. Beneath the butterfly is the new Swaying Branches embossed with a distressed brown powder.  

A close up of the Swaying Branches and Leafy Rounds Chipboard pieces.  

I added some twig and paprika microbeads.

Here I've used the new Amazing Day title embossed with brown and chili.
