Life Documented By Marie Claude Rodier

 Hi everyone,

It’s my turn to show you my latest 2Crafty project. 

 I was inspired by the soft tones in my picture. I rarely use color photo and even more rarely green!!! But combined light brown and beige, it creates a natural and feel good vibe that I really love!

Life Documented

Chicken Wire Panel was cut into pieces and tucked under the central clustering.
The pieces were treated with a few touches of white gesso.

Both Mini Branches were embossed with Angel Wing Gold embossing powder
 and placed among both flowers clustering.

Life Documented title was also embossed using the same golden color.

Life Documented a layout by Marie Claude Rodier

Hi lovelies,

Most of my layouts are about my kids and documenting our everyday life.
But once in a while I like to create a layout about our doggie, Ernest.
He holds a special place in our family and in our hearts!

Isn't he the cutest with his tie and his serious look!
A rare quiet moment that only happens when he is watching his "friend" aka the cat!!! 

"Life Documented"

"Life Documented" title was embossed with teal powder. 

"Mini Flourish Bits" were embossed with dark bronze powder and highlighted with white gesso.

"Frame Yvette's" was first embossed with golden green powder, then covered with bronze wax
and finally highlighted with white gesso.

February Inspiration by Bec

Hi everyone.
Today I have my February projects that I made with the gorgeous 2Crafty Chipboard to share with you. This month I made a layout and a canvas, plus I also have my layout made for the CSI case file #248.

#Beauty

First up is my layout, I love circles so I've used 2 different Circle frame sets on this page.

2Crafty Chipboard Products Used:

Lucy's Flourish Frame

6" Circle Revolution Frames

Hashtag Word Set 1

Leafy Twig Branches

I used the 2 smallest frames from the 6" Circle Revolution Frame Set, the larger one to frame one photo and the smallest I cut in half and placed on the edges of the layout. I coated the frames in white gesso before I coloured them with a yellow watercolor .

I also coated the Lucy's Flourish Frame in white gesso first and then I added colour using a Twinkling H20 in Plum Blossom. 

I coloured the title #Beauty and the Leafy Twig Branches with Lindy's Gang Magicals, on the title I used the colour Salt Water Taffy and on the branches I used Sea Mint Green. I cut the Branches into little pieces and tucked in under my flowers.

Papers, flowers and embellishments from the Prima Lavender collection.

Timeless Canvas

Next up is a soft and delicate canvas. The Brickwork panel was perfect for this canvas and it goes so well paired with lots of flowers.

2Crafty Chipboard Products Used:

Brick Panel

Gemma's Corners

Fine Word Set 2

Indian Feathers

I wanted to colour the Brickwork panel to match the colour of the shutters, I used the Lindy's Gang embossing powder in Golden Angel Wings on the raw chipboard to give it a shine. Then I randomly added some white gesso on top to tone down the colour and give a more shabby look. 

For the title from the Fine Word Set 2 and the Gemma's Corner pieces I primed with white gesso before I coloured them with Prima Aryclic paint in Vintage Rose.

I used the Indian Feathers more as leaves on this canvas, they are such versitle pieces. I primed them with white gesso before adding a light teal embossing powder. The Indian feathers have very fine detail lines on them so only apply a very light coat of gesso with a sponge so the lines don't get covered up. 

Papers and flowers from the Prima Love Story Collection. 

Life Documented

My final layout today is made for the latest CSI case file #248 which 2Crafty is sponsoring this month.

6" Circle Revolution Frames

Sharon's Butterflies

Circle Lace Panel

Swaying Branches

And the CSI Case file #248

On this layout I left the background plain as I used gorgeous foil paper that didn't need anything extra added. All the chipboard pieces were coloured with Gelatos. Gelatos are an amazing and easy way to alter chipboard, I always coat the chipboard pieces in white gesso first so the colours of the Gelatos stand out more. 

I used the largest frame from the 6" Circle Revolution Frames pack and coloured this with the Silver Ice Gelato.  I had left over bits from the Circle Lace Panel that I coloured in a Chocolate Gelato

The Swaying Branches were coloured in the Pistashio Gelato, 

The Life Documented title was mainly left with the white gesso but I added a little Bubble Gum Gelato to the edges. The Sharon's Butterflies were left white in the centers and the wings were coloured with the Bubble Gum and Guava Gelatos

Papers from the Prima Heaven Sent 2 Collection

January Inspiration By Sabrina Turpin

"Life Documented"

Hello everyone!

I hope that 2018 is treating you well so far. It has been fantastic for me as I am 

absolutely thrilled to be joining the amazing 2Crafty team!

Let me introduce myself. I’m Sabrina Turpin, from Quebec, Canada, mom of two

 fantastic kids. I work in a daycare by day and I am a chipboard ninja by night!

For my first post, I’ll be sharing two new layouts. The first one, “Life Documented”, 

features my daughter having fun in a playground.

I inked and then used a transparent embossing powder on the

"Frame Madelines Flourish".

For the title I simply painted and inked it & the 

"Pointed Doiley Frames" I did the same.

Again on the "Tiny Leaf Stems" I did the same, just painting & inking as it looks so good.

These I used an embossing ink on the "Sharon's Butterflies".

For this page, I used the following 2Crafty Chipboards:

"Life Documented - title

Sharon's Butterflies

Frame Madeline's Flourish

Pointed Doiley Frames

"Tiny Leaf Stems"

"Friends"

My second page, "Friends", puts into the spotlight one of my closest friend.

For the "Funky Hearts" I embossed them with embossing powder.

The larger hearts were painted and inked & the smaller ones were

 embossed with embossing powder.

The "Twiggy Branch" was painted painted with acrylic metallic paints.

The border is from the "Lacey Border Set #1"& both that & the "Damask"

 were painted in acrylic paints.

The "Friends" title was embossed with embossing powders.
