'Paradise Found' with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello 2Crafty fans!
It's Lisa here with some more scrappy inspiration for you.

'Paradise Found'

 

 

2Crafty products used:

 

 

For this layout, I have used one of the 'Seaweed Set 1',

that I have finished in a watercoloured blues,
and tucked into my elements.

 

 

I also used a few of the 'Seashells Set 2',

also finished in multiple shades of blues.  

 

I then used one of the 'Intricate Seahorses',

also finished in aqua blues.

 

 

 

For my title, I used the 'Paradise Found' title,
again finished in the multiple blue shades.
I have layered this over one of the 'Old Fence' pieces, 

which I have left raw and layered
with some of the 'Seashells Set 2'.

 

 

I really like the blue shades
over the natural raw finish of the chipboard.

 

 

I just love the fun beach colours and vibes to this layout.

I hope that you like it too!

 

Until next time,

 

Lisa

 Hi!

Fun In The Sun Title

Old Fence

Grid Bits

6" Revolution Frame

I painted then heat embossed the title.  While the embossing powder was still wet I drop a
small amount of white and brown paint on the title

All the pieces were covered in gesso, then painted in either brown or white.  After the paint dried I sanded to create a more shabby washed out look.  For the fence I also dry brushed a bit of white paint over it after I had finished sanding to add a more aged look

I cut one of teh revolution frames and placed one on top and one under the photo.  I used a whole one under the photo.  I also added some altered grid bits into the clusters.

Thanks so much for stopping by

"happy life" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Here I am with a new page for this month of July, already 6 months of the
 year have passed. Everything is going so fast!

I chose to make a summer page. 
I played with these two photos to make my layout.

"happy life"

2Crafty Chipboards used :

- ATC Title Sticks Set 3
- Circle-Revolution Frames
- Old Fence
- Winter Twig Branches
- Lighthouse

To start I applied a layer of white gesso on the chipboards.

On the "Lighthouse" chipboard I applied white cracking paste then a little wax.

For the "Circle-Revolution Frames" and "Old Fence" chipboards 
I applied brown embossing powder, once dry I rubbed with a file to give 
an aged appearance.

For the "Winter Twig Branches" I left natural just with a little white gesso.

For the title I just applied a little shiny wax to the white gesso.

Here it is finished.

 I hope this page has given you some inspiration especially with these wonderful chipboards. 

Thank you for always being here with us.

Elena's November Mood

November is a very hard month for me to bear. It is too dull, too dark, too rainy, too cold in my part of the world. So I am struggling with this awful mood and here is my bright projects but still under November's influence for you.

The first one is called Mother & Daughter   Yes, you are right , I love to use our photos in my projects  

I decided to maintain the color palette used in Prima's papers and flowers, so I have a delightful pleasure to be warmed with this turquoise blue and peach shadows. But I wanted to add some shabby colors too, so I kept  the white accents on the chipboard. I used the title Mother & Daughter  

 I covered it with white Crackle Paint, then dabbed with acrylic paint in blue, turquoise and guava. I used a sponge to make some random spots.  Then I mounted some flowers on it, just wrapping them over the alphas.

The same technique I used on a  Bunch of roses  

I just added flowers to it, to add  more texture to create a bouquet.   Also I tried to keep a more visible crackle effect on  ATC Georgian Frame and just added the ink on the edges.  

  I used it as a padding for the resin embellishment I kept the blue colors on the Birdcage 1 too.  

  I primed it with Gesso, then misted with Lindy's Staburst mist for some shimmering and then sprayed with Dyllusions ink. and you can see this 2-tone result on the chipboard cage.     

  For my second layout I used autumn colors. 

    I have started randomly gessoing the chipboard. Then I added some acrylic paint with a sponge and a metallic acrylic paint with my brush   Birds on a Wire,

   I cut them and the other part I have already used on the other project   Penny Farthing

 I placed a big flower on it, which was gessoed too   

  I wanted to add some rusty look on Old Fence, so I painted it roughly with a dry brush and  the edges on the Miniature tree were inked with the chalk ink  

I used the same techniques on Grass Clumps     Finally my last Layout. I was thinking which one to share with you,  and decided to finish with some winter colors. Next time I think I will have something  Christmas, so please stay tuned to see my Christmas projects. but this time I want to show one of my favorite that I made for Manor House Creations.  

It is a photo of me with my son. I love the tenderness of baby's skin.  All of you who are mothers know this adorable feeling  of care and the smell of nativity. That is why I choose the title  Timeless Moments to Remember  

I primed this piece with gesso, then applied texture paste and dabbed in blue acrylic paint .  Next I took some Shimmerz and with a thin brush painted some stripes.  

The technique used on the Summer Leaf Stem is very simple.  I primed it with Gesso too and dabbed it with a sponge in light blue acrylic paint.   I hope you have enjoyed my projects and if you want to find more inspiration  using 2Crafty chipboard you are welcome to visit  my blog.   TFW Elena
