"Pretty in Pink" By Chrissy Tingey

Hi everyone, I'm back with my second post for January featuring

some wonderful flourishes & border chipboards.

2Crafty Chipboard used…

Maggie’s Swirls

Flourish Adornment set 4

Fanciful Butterflies

Lacy Border set 1

 I love the beautiful Lacy Border Set and wanted to show them all off, so I hope
 my layout “design” has achieved this, the lacy border chipboards make such
 pretty edges to the different paper sections.
 With a quick coat of black acrylic paint they then coordinate beautifully.

I have used both sets of Flourishes and tucked them in and around my fussy
cut elements, I cut some of the bits off that would have been hidden and
dotted these around my layout to make good use of them.

I can never resist a butterfly, painted with black acrylic paint again to coordinate,
the beautiful "Fanciful butterflies" finish off my layout, there are two sizes in the pack,
so I have layered them up to give some height and dimension
 to my layout, I have then added a tiny pearl to each. They look so pretty.

I hope you have enjoyed my post and layout and I hope I have inspired you
 to use those pretty border chipboards

Thank you for stopping by - happy crafting!!
I’ll be back next month with two more projects

"This Is The New Normal By Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Summer season is well underway here in Quebec but it's a very strange one this year.
 2020 is unlike anything we ever seen or experienced in our lifetime.
 One little virus made it so we can't fully be ourselves, we can't do all the things we 

like to do, hug the people we love to hug.
 But all in all, we're glad that our family is together and we haven't lost any loved ones.
We're rediscovering joy in the little things of life. 

"This is the New Normal"

On the "Lace Doily Frame", I used my finger to apply a teal wax. 

Then, on top of it, I applied watercolour navy paint.

On the "Addy's Butterflies", I applied a navy wax and a white pearl embossing powder on top of it.

 On the "6x4 Phrase Sticks Set 1", I applied 2 coats of teal embossing powder. 

For the "Maggie's Swirl", I used pink-gold shimmering paint and added a pink embossing ink on top.

For the title, "This is the new normal", I used a midnight-gold embossing ink.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Lace Doily Frame [fr0130]

Maggie's Swirl [m00336]

Addy's Butterflies [m00581]

6x4 Phrase Sticks Set 1 [m0870]

Covid-19 [cov004]

That's all for me today!
I hope you enjoyed this layout and that it gave you ideas for your own creations! 

I'll be back soon with more inspiration to share with you guys.
 Until then, stay safe and if you're under lockdown, then it's the perfect time for more crafting!

 See you in a few weeks!

I Just {Heart} This Kid A Layout By Priscilla

Hello everyone,

I'm back today to share my 2nd project with 2Crafty Chipboard.

I used to shun pink when doing a layout for my boy, but I figured....who says we

 cannot use pink for boys? Make it colorful and add some awesome chipboard and

 viola you get a really fun looking layout :)

These are some close up shots with more details on the altered chipboards.
 Check out the caption of each to find out what I have used to alter their look.

Painted with 13arts Ayeeda Matte Paint in Green, Yellow and Blue.
Purple and Black speckles are from paint splatters using 13arts Ayeeda Matte Paint

I Just {heart} this Kid title colored with Distress Marker in Black Soot and Barn Door.
Added white dots in the centre of the heart with Uniball Signo White Gel pen
