"vacation" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Here is my first inspiration for this month of September.

This is a holiday themed layout, illustrating the first vacation time at the sea of Sayka, my son’s dog. 

Note that Sayka showed a preference for sand during this experiment.

"vacation"

The chipboard used: 

travel-mini-word-set-2

little-paw-panel

seashells-set-2

As always, I start by applying a coat of white gesso to each chipboard.

After deciding on my layout, I choose these pretty "Little Pawprint Strip" to fill the bottom of my layout.

To embellish them, I use 49 and Market inks, using two colors: "Cappuccino" and "Fossil."

Over my photo, I add the word "experience", It is covered with ink of the color "Daffodil".

I add art stones to bring material.

I'm creating a cluster using the "seachells" chipboard.

I chose the colors "Summer Sky" and "Pink Sands."

Finally, I add the word "vacation."

There you go, it’s over, I love this ball of fur through this decor and these pretty chipboard paws.

Thank you very much for your visit.

Marie

some fun beach inspiration with you.

2Crafty products used:

Seashells Set 2

Aged Filmstrips

Seaweed Set

Mini Travel Words

Fishing Net Bits

 

 

 

For this layout, I use some of the 'Fishing Net Bits',

that I have painted in a metallic copper finish,

 and used in among my elements

 

I also used one of 'Aged Film Strip Set',
which I finished in a multi tone aqua blue finish,
over the copper netting.
I then layered one of 'Travel Mini Word Set 2',
that I have inked black, on top of the film strip.
 

 

 

I then used one of the 'Seashells Set 2'
and one of the 'Seaweed Set 1',

both finished in the same aqua tones,
in among my layers.

 

 

 

I hope that you like what I have created, 

I love the fun beachy vibes!

 

Until next time!

'Escape' byTammy Klingner

Tam back again today to share some more chipboard goodness!

This one's titled:

'Escape'

A page that documents my passion for reading.

In 2018, I began a book club, on the spur of the moment with a friend, and it was an unexpected highlight for the year.

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

'Hedgehogs'

'Mini Trees'

'Bookworm'

'Tree with Sparrows'

'Mushrooms'

'Mini Travel Word Set 2'

This layout was created for CSI:Colour Stories Inspiration.

2Crafty Chipboard are sponsors this month.

Have you ever had a go at their challenges? They are lots of fun.

Here's the one I solved:

You can head to their blog to see the clues in detail.

Here's the clues I used:

The colours, stripes, distressed patterns, trees (chipboard, painted, pine), leaves, woodland creatures (hedgehog), bird, mushroom, string, splatters, metal (open book), wood (woodgrain paper, chipboard), journaling inside a handmade book (so cute!!!!)

Let's take a look at the chipboard.

For the 'escape' title from the 'Travel Mini Word Set 2' I applied black ink.

 The 'mushroom' was first coated in white gesso, and then painted with watercolour paint.

I outlined the details with a black pen.

The 'hedgehog' was coated in a metallic wax and then I used sharpie pens to fill in the details.

The 'bird' from the 'Tree with Sparrows' was finished with the same process - some white gesso, watercolour paint and then pens to fill in the detail.

I had so much fun colouring in these chippy elements.

The 'Mini Tree' was coated with Metallic Wax, and then some green ink was added to the leaves.

The 'book stacks' were trimmed away from the worm in the 'bookworm' chipboard.

These were then coated with white gesso, and then various watercolour paints.

A touch of ink was swiped over them to pick up the finer detail.

I really enjoyed colouring these pieces of chipboard.

It's not my normal style to do this, but it was quite relaxing and I'm super happy with the outcome.

When is the last time you tried something new?

I do love that about challenges, they push me out of my comfort zone, and often inspire an extra surge of creativity!!

That's it from me today, I'll see you a bit later in the month.

Don't forget to check out my BLOG.

Experience - with Emma.

Welcome to the 2Crafty blog friends.

Emma here today with you all.

I'm sharing a page that has a slight spacey/melancholy yet new adventure vibe. 

And these are the awesome chippy pieces I have used...…

6" Circle Revolution Frames

Mini Travel Word Set 2

Retro Panel

Geometric Arrows

The retro panel is inked in an archival black ink and left as is.

The geo arrows and circle frame I painted over with white gesso first so the colour would be more vibrant once painted.

I decided to keep the frame in the white but the arrows I painted with a watercolour ink. It covered the chipboard beautifully and the colour really popped also.

For the word I chose the 'experience' word out of the set which I also primed with white gesso and then painted with a complimentary blue shimmer ink.

The words in this set are very versatile as they are flexable and so I could curve the word around onto the circle frame.

I thought this a cool use of a title instead of always just using them straight.

I hope this has inspired you to get creative, maybe you have some time off over this holiday season?

Have a great rest of the year and I will catch you all very soon in the year 2019!!!

Escape Layout by Bec Genet

Hi everyone, it's Bec here and today is my day to share my first layout for October.
 I have a soft and floral layout to show you, I love the light pink and purple tones
with just a hint of blue.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Anna's Flourish

Handdrawn Flowers

6" Messy Square Frames

Mini Travel Word Set 2

I love these Handdrawn flowers!! 

They are so delicate and pretty. To colour them I first coated them with white gesso before adding a pale pink and purple watercolours to the flowers and a very light green watercolour to the leaves.

I placed the Anna's Flourish along the left side of my photo. I treated this piece the same as the Handdrawn flowers and coloured it with a pale pink watercolour.

I used the smallest Messy Square frame on this layout, I coloured it a darker purple and cut it in half to place on the right side and bottom of my photo. 

I used the word 'Escape' from the Mini Travel Word set 2 and just left this white from the gesso.

Thanks for visiting

September Inspiration with Lisa Amiet

Hello all!

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

For this layout I have created a multi layered combination of some gorgeous 

2Crafty Chipboard pieces mixed with lots of fussy cut elements.

Here is my layout...

"Adventure"

I have used a few different designs in this layout. 

I have finished my chipboard with white embossing powder.

I have used a couple of the 'Element Set 3', on either side of my photo, in among my layers.

I have also used a couple of the 'Mini Swirls 1', also tucked in among my layers.

Lastly I have used two of the 'Mini Travel Words Set 2'. 

I really love how great the chipboard looks in white, how well it goes with 

the lovely soft pastel colours of the paper collection and flowers.

 The travel words were perfect for this layout!
