Sweet Cheeks By Marie Claude Rodier

Hello,

Strawberry picking is one of my kids favorite summer activities.
My youngest eats as much as he can... constantly searching for the biggest and tastiest ones.

Instead of using a warm color combo, I opted for black and white color
combined with blue, teal and brown tones.
 And of course, I integrated a lot of 2Crafty chipboards.

Sweet Cheeks

Sweet Cheeks was painted with teal acrylic paint and highlighted with white gesso.

Summer Lovin' for Mini Title Stick Set 4 was dry-brushed with gesso and silver wax.

A few touches of  silver wax was used on Foilage Set 6.

Leafty Shrub Set 1 was partially covered with white gesso, teal watercolor and silver wax.

Lace Doily Frame was lightliy painted with brown acrylic, partially covered with teal watercolor and finally covered with white gesso and silver wax.

Summer Story By Marie Claude Rodier

Hello 2Crafties fans!

Summer is in full swing around here in Canada...
It's no surprise that my first July project is all about beach!!!

I chose to use a lot of white to recreate a sun faded effect on my chipboards and background. Blue and teal tones are a great complement and add a lot of contrasts.

Summer Story

"Summer Story" title is part of Mini Title Stick Set 4.
 It was slightly covered with white gesso here and there.

In order to get a beachy look, Window Shutter Set was dry-brushed with white gesso.

I love how the shutter are drawing attention to the picture.

Corner Mini Set 3 elements were painted with white acrylic paint, hightlighted with teal paint
 and a few touches of white gesso were added at the end.

"Amazing" A Vacation Layout By Jenny J.

Hello everyone!

Here I am today to show you my dream layout

(as I would like to lay down on a beach 😉)

"Amazing"

Here are the chippies that I have used...

2Crafty Chipboard Used

*Mini word set 1

*Palm leaves set

*Mini title stick set 4

I have used a lot of embossing powders to treat my chippies this time.

Two tones of greens for the "Palm leaves set" and

a shinny white one for my title

which came from "Mini word set 1"

Below, the "Mini title stick set 4" chippie 

is painted with black gesso and treated with a wax.

Hope it will bring some inspiration in your home!

Stay safe everybody!

'Oh Happy Day' Layout + VIDEO by Lisa Amiet

Hello all!

It's Lisa here today to share some inspirations with you.

I have created a new layout,

Oh Happy Day

2Crafty Products Used:

For this layout I have used a striped paper for my base.

I have distressed, and layered my corner pieces. 

I have then used some stamps,

 and splatters where my photos stack will be. 

For my chipboard I have started with the cacti from the 'Cactus Set',

which I have given a coat of gesso, 

and then used my watercolour paints to colour them.

I love the effect of the colours. 

I have then used the same green tones,

 to colour the 'Summer Leaf Set' foliage.

I have then placed these to help the flow of my page.

To finish, over one of my cactus, I have layered my title,

 left raw, from the 'Mini Title Stick Set 4',

These were the perfect pieces for my page and photo. 

You can watch the full process video of how I created this below.

Until next time!

Lisa
