Capture the Moment - Karan Gerber

Hello friends and welcome to the 2 Crafty Blog today, 

Its Karan Gerber to host the 2 Crafty blog and I have a layout to share with you.

I love using the leafy shrubs and vines and I have used two different ones on this project.

I used a few chipboard pieces on this project and happy with the way it turned out. 

The above photo is how it looks at a glance, the details are amazing.

The leafy shrub was embossed with lime green embossing powder then I dabbed a bit of Hazlenut Metalique Paint on them 

The title was done the same way, heat embossed with lime green baked embossing powder and dabbed with Hazlenut metal paint. The leafy vine I used and tangled in between the flowers in the upper corner. 

Thank you for dropping by today, I hope you have enjoyed my project today.

May Inspiration By Kavitha

Hello everyone,

Kavitha on blog today to share some inspiration for May.

Whimsical watercolor layout...

My inspiration for this layout is the gorgeous pattern paper from 13arts,

I  just wanted to extend the colors and pattern of the paper and
2crafty chipboard helped me to do that beautifully.

I created the watercolor background using Lindys sprays.

The chipboards are coated two times with heavy white gesso and

I used the same background colors for the chipboard pieces,

drying each color in between.

I finished off the layout with some sequins, beads and splashes of white paint.

2Crafty chipboards used:

6" circle revolution frame

Butterfly frames

Corner vine leaves

Frame madeline's flourish

Two Hearts - Canvas

The focal point of this canvas is the delicate Handdrawn hearts.

I mounted them in the center of the canvas,coated with white gesso.

After coloring the background partially,leaving lots of white space,
I arranged the flowers and embellishments. I have used leafy shrub#3
 among my flower cluster which is also just coated with white gesso.

March Inspiration - Two Layouts PLUS TWO VIDEO TUTORIALS By Mary Catt

''A Love Story''

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Mary here with you today and I have two layouts and two video tutorials to share with you.

 The first one is a dreamy layout in pink tones filled with lots of flowers. I used Prima
 Marketing papers from the ''Wild and Free'' collection, Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays and
 powders. The flowers are also Prima Marketing and the flairs are from Cuts2luv.

I have also made a VIDEO TUTORIAL of the procedure.

A Love Story - Title
Leafy Shrub Set 2

I based my page on the More Than Words March challenge.

Some close ups...

To create my background I applied modeling paste through a stencil. When dried,
 I added some color with Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays.

I heat embossed the ''Frame Jenna'' and the title chipboards with two powders, first with
 ''Gilded Burgundy Brass'' and then with the ''Hollyhock Scarlet Plum''. The chipboards
from the ''Leafy Shrub Set 2'' were embossed with ''Stardust Candy Rose'' Lindys powder.

When everything was glued down, I added some art stones with gel medium.

''Escape''

And the second one was also made with Prima Marketing papers from the 

''Salvage District'' collection, Prima Marketing flowers, Lindy's Stamp Gang
 sprays and powders and a flair from Cuts2luv.

You can see the procedure on my VIDEO...

I based my page on the Mixed Media & Art March challenge.

 

And a closer look at the details...

I gave texture on the background with modeling paste and a stencil.
 Then, I used Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays to color my page.

I heat embossed the ''Leafy Shrub Set 3'' and the title chipboards with ''Midnight Pewter''
Lindy's powder. The ''Lattice Leaves'' were embossed with ''Oakleaf Olive'' and the little ''Butterflies'' with ''Silver Moon Orchid''.

To finish, I added some Art Stones with gel medium.

   Thats all from me my friends!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

January Layouts by Kavitha

Hello friends,

Kavitha here today to share two layouts with you.

"Believe in Miracles"

For my first layout, I chose a soft pastel colour palette.

I used beautiful chippies to create the floral arrangement around the picture.

First I gave a coat of white gesso to all the chipboard pieces,
& I colored some of them and left some of them white.

I trimmed off the "Viney Page Frame" and used 

around the floral arrangement.

You can see in the photo above how I've combined the pieces.

"Cherish the Moment"

My second layout is soft shabby one against a black background.

I used beautiful flourishes from 2crafty to 

create the composition.

I heat embossed the chippies with black and white embossing powders.

The butterflies are colored with watercolors.
