"Be Yourself"

Hello all 2Crafty Chipboard fans.

Today is a special day for me, my last post for 2Crafty Chipboard.

It's been a fabulous year and I have loved every second of it!

Amazing chipboard and so easy to use! My favorites are the titles and the background panels.

Thank you Vanessa for having faith in me and your generosity.  Love you!

And thanks to my fellow team-members, it's been an awesome ride!
 Wish you all the best!

So back to my projects for June.

First one is with a photo of yours truly, taken while I'm on my way to a crop (by train).

This time I have mostly used black inkpad to color the chippies.

I have layered the panels under and beneath the papers and photos to get some dimension.

Played with some crackle paint, ink and stamps on the background.

Used bits of the "checkerboard clumps" as details and a white pen

Some more of the "Checkerboard clumps" on top of the photo

Did some doodling on the background as well, just some random places.

The title fits my photo as I always try to be myself.

2Crafty Chipboards used:

Brick panel

Be yourself - title

Dottiebits

Chequerbox clumps

  

  

The next is with a photo from our trip to London last year.

(maybe I have used this photo earlier, don't remember, but I love it so much)

On this layout I wanted to use chipboards matching the photo and no problems
finding the right chippies from 2Crafty.

I used different kinds of inkpads to color the chippies.

Apart from the birds, here I used white gesso and some black inkpad on the edges.

The different chipboards are layered in several layers and with flowers between, to match the photo.

I wanted to let my layout be a scene and that's why I used the birds.
 Placed on the flowers and on the brick wall.

Added some leaves beneath the flowers

The title is also covered with white gesso.

So, that's all from me.

"007"

  Before we start..

Please remember while you are here  to become a blog follower & leave a blog comment to

Here is a layout with a photo of our oldest daughter at Madame Tussaud in London.

Having a pose with 007 James Bond (or Daniel Craig to be correct)

I used several of the rings of the "Circle stack" in additon to the "Circle revolution frames"
 to match the theme of James Bond 007 and the photo.

To make the 007 I used to of the rings in the "Circular Panel" and cut out
 the number 7 from the "Numbers Panel".

My chippies are colored with acrylic paint, mixed in a colortone that matched the
 photo and also some black ink.

I layered the chippies a lot here and placed the title on top of the rings.

2Crafty Chipbaords used:

Circle revolution frames

Circle stack

Circular panel

Live your adventure -title

Numbers panel

And next, a rush of cards with 2Crafty Chipboards.

Most of them are cut in smaller pieces as you see:

Here I used the Corner Thick vine, cut in two pieces.

The chipboard is used natural, just with some white splashes with ink

I love to add small pieces of chippies on my cards. They make great embellishments!

Not my usual style as many will say, but I'm not always a "messy" girl (even though this card is a type of mixed media card, with lots of work on the background)

The next card, lot more simple and maybe a bit more my style?

I used the word from "Card word set 1" and cut out some of the hearts from
"beaded hanging heart set".

The chippies are used natural as they come, with no colors.

  

Another card with lots of layers

Here I just used small parts of the "Fencing wire panel"

Laces, flowers and chippies - a great match!

Next, two rather simple and similar cards. Used with the same pattern paper and the same chippies.

Once again I have used parts of the "Corner Thick vine" - on both cards.

Not many elements on this card, but I like it.

Next card is a "high" regular card.

Here I used the "Dandelions" underneath the photo and embellishments.

Finally, the last one. Hope I didn't bore you!

Some small parts of the "Fencing wire" added the final touch for this card.

All images used on cards are found on Pinterest.

So, that's all for now. See you in June!
