"Happy Together" Decorative Panel with Amy Voorthuis

 Hi lovely 2Crafty Friends, 
I hope this post will find you well and that you are enjoying your day!
I know where I will on this beautiful summer day {on my vacation in Greece}
 For today I have another mixed media panel to share with you all and this time I used
 a picture of Jeroen and me on a wedding of his co-worker last May. 

Happy Together

 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Industrial Spring Set
10" Decorative Panel Wire Circle
Mini Word Set 2
6" Frame Messy Squares
Fine Word Set 1
Palm Leaves Set
Arrow Word Set 2
Photo Adornment Larindas Flourish

I finally found the time to use that amazing 10" Decorative Panel Wire Circle I had that one in my stash for a while now. Firstly I altered it with white gesso and then some rust paste {yellow & brown} after that I used two matte waxes to coördinate with the papers I have used here. On the Photo Adornment Larindas Flourish I used a technique that I love very much I have used a crackle paste on it with some magical powder & some true snow. 

 The words that I used on my work are just gessod with white gesso and then I added two layers of white embossing powder. The frames are altered with only a little wax in two colors. The Industrial Spring Set was altered with some white gesso and some matte wax in just one color & on the palm leaves I used two colors of matte wax. 

So this was my second project of the month june, thank you so much for stopping by I will be back next month with another project hope to see you back then.... but firstly I off on vacation yeahhh

"Creepy & Cute" by Amy Voorthuis

 Hello sweet 2Crafty friends, 

I am so happy you are here with us today....this time I bring you some mixed media inspiration. This panel was created with all gorgeous 2Crafty chippies and some moulds it was made for a challenge with the theme "Creepy & Cute. I off course used a picture of Abbey as a little baby for the cute part.

Creepy & Cute: 

 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Anna's Flourish
Cassie's Flourishes 
Flourish Adornment Set 5
Foliage Set 6
Steampunk Gears Medium
Steampunk Gears Small
Mini Word Set 3

I altered some of the chipboard pieces with black gesso {on the creepy side} then I added some waxes that I brushed on them. On the other pieces I used white gesso and on some of them sprays {which I blow dried} and on the others some effect paste. The spraying gives it such a fun effect like water drops.

On the beautiful "Cassie's Flourishes" I added a layer of crushed ice effect paste to make it sparkle a little bit, but it is not really visible on the pictures sadly. To finish my work I added some flowers & white spray.
