'Love You Long Time' Layout By Rachael Funnell

'Love You Long Time'

Hello Everyone!

Rachael with you today sharing my first 2 Crafty layout for January 2020....

This layout featuring a photo of my teenage son & myself....

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used: 

Fine leaf bush

Messy Square

6x4 phrase sticks Set 4

Ornate Chuncky Heart

Foilage set 1

First up this Ornate Chucky heart 

I have heat embossed this gorgeous heart with a teal...

This frame I have sitting on my photo and another chipboard piece I

 heat embossed is the Messy Square with a nice mid blue!

Using two types of foilage for this layout

The Foilage set 1 & Fine leaf bush

Where I've inked a few of  Foilage set 1 with green ink!

And for a diferent contrast I have given a Fine leaf bush

a thick coat of gesso before cutting into smaller

pieces & placing them thoughout my flower clusters.....

AND lastly but certainly not least, is one of the strips from 

the  6x4 phrase sticks Set 4 - Love you long time, 

where I have lightly painted on some gesso..

TIP: If you do end up getting any gesso in any of the letters,

which I did with a couple...

 I just grab my craft knife and traced over each letter 

& it seem to removed most of that gesso!  

That's it from me today!

Until next time...

Karine's May Shares

Dear friends,

I'm up on the blog today to share with you my May production.

 Let me show you my first layout.

"Adore"

I went a little crazy with this one.

My starting point was one of the Doodled Frames piece which I embossed in copper.

 I think I was inspired by the happy feel of this chipboard!

I wanted to use another piece over my picture. I chose the Ornate Chunky Hearts, 

which I embossed with the same embossing powder.

In a few key spots on my layout, I added the ATC Tiny Heart & Stars (only hearts). 

I used some stamped images which I fussy cut to light things up a bit.

My title is from the Mini Word Set 2 and is embossed with black powder.

My second layout is called Good Day and is a lot more soft.

"Good Day"

For this layout, I had this idea of using two borders one against the other.

I decided to use the beautiful Parisian Border (on the left) along with the 

Wrought Iron border (on the right).

I chose to leave them bare, as they are so beautiful when left naturally.

I cut a piece of the Parisian Border and tuck it under my flower cluster.

My title piece is the Good Day piece from the Line Words - Happiness Borders.
