#CHERISH #LOVE Altered Frame by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania popping in today to share the first of my DT projects for February.
  I have altered a wooden frame that I had in my stash!

"#CHERISH #LOVE"

2 Crafty Products Used:

*Corner Arches

*Mini # Word Set 1

*Mini Title Stick Set 5

*Poppy's Ornate Frame

I have used the beautiful Mintay 'Mamarazzi' Collection to create the bases inside each
 section of the Frame.

I coloured the Poppy's Ornate Frame & Fantastic Day (from the Mini Title Stick Set 5) chippies using Aged Mahogany Distress Ink and then randomly dabbed on some Brush Leaf Interior Antique Gold Paint to them.   The Corner Arches & #LOVE and #CHERISH (from the Mini # Word Set 1) chippies

were coloured with Brush Leaf Interior Antique Gold Paint.

To decorate the frame I added layers of Frames from the 49 & Market Krafty Garden Stacked Frames under my photo.  I cut the Poppy's Ornate Frame chippie in half and tucked one half in under each end of my photo.  Added a Corner Arch and Title chippie to each side of the frame.  I then embellished the frame with lots of beautiful blooms and finished it of by tucking in the Fantastic Day chippie along the top of my photo.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my altered Frame.  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

"Gypsy Soul ” By Marie Claude Rodier

 Hi everyone,

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year with it’s amazing color contrast, sunny days and crisp weather. Playing in the leaves is a classic and so a little photo shoot.

I used traditional colors for this layout, playing with yellow, ochre and brown to embellish my beautiful 2Crafty chipboards and recreate a thematic scene.

Gypsy Soul

Gypsy Soul title was embossed twice with new Tim Holtz embossing glaze. 

This product creates an amazing glossy finish! It’s a new favorite of mine.

Poppy’s Ornate Frame was first covered with white gesso and then painted with yellow amber and brown liquid acrylic.

Foliage Set 8 was painted using the same technique as the frame, but in darker tones.

 White gesso was also dry brushed over the branches.

Until next time, be happy and be creative!

Remember the past by Elena Martynova

Hi dear friends!

It's Elena Martynova here today and I'm so excited 

to share my new layout.

Less than two weeks left before the onset of winter.
I look forward to preparing for the Christmas holidays
 and this mood seeps even into the works :)))

Although the background of the layout is quite monochrome,
I supplemented it with bright red colors reminiscent of the upcoming holidays.

The photo always becomes the main element on the layout. 

To decorate it I used a gorgeous chip Poppy's Ornate Frame .

I usually paint the chip first and then continue to decorate 

with embossing powders, glitter and pastes. 

But this time I covered it with a transparent medium and applied bronze powder.

 It is not laid evenly and here and there looks through 

the gray color of the raw chip. That's the effect I wanted.

How I love those fishnet Aztec Feathers!

I decorated them with Golden powder to emphasize their splendor!

To create dynamics on the layout I added Geometric Arrows on opposite corners.

 Also, my idea is promoted by a sheet of black paper, with the edges cut diagonally.

I used paper from the collections by 49&Market. 

The black sheet was covered with a transparent medium, 

with the help of 7 DOTs Studio stamp and Lindy's embossing powder

 I added textures and then painted  red spray.

 

Thank you for visiting,have a lovely crafty day!

Wedding set by Elena

Hello, friends!

Summer is the time of weddings, so I made a gift set for the newlyweds.

It consists of a folder for a marriage certificate, a Book for wishes and a box.

I chose two types of fabric: silk with embossed pattern and ash-pink suede.

"Remember Moments Like This"By Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

This week for my layout reveal I had the inspiration to create something that would push

 me outside my usual comfort zone. I wanted to create something that would have 

a vintage feel while still providing a nice fresh touch. 

I am sometimes not fully satisfied by my purely "vintage" layouts,

 but I'm quite pleased with the balance I struck here.

"Remember Moments Like This"

On the "Poppy's Ornate Frame", I used metallic teal embossing ink 

and then applied black ink on the contour.

For the "Starlink Panel" in the background, I started by cutting it to give it a rounder 

shape and give the impression that the stars are detached from each other. Then I 

applied a pink embossing enamel powder.

On the "Brook's Swirls", I first applied pink ink and then followed by dabbing a copper embossing ink on top. Finally I applied a diluted silver glaze on top and traced the contour with black ink.

For the title, "Remember moments like this", I applied two coats of black

 embossing powder and some teal metallic embossing ink.

I also prepared a video showing how I prepared the layout and

 the techniques I used for the chipboards.

That's all for me today! I hope this inspired you for your own creations.

 Don't hesitate to push yourself outside your comfort zone, and try mixing it up with

 elements you're more comfortable with! I'll be back soon with more ideas.

 Until then, have fun creating!

'Magical' April Inspiration with Lisa Amiet

Hello 2Crafty lovers!

It's Lisa here today to share some 

2Crafty inspiration with you. 

I have a layout that I have created

'Magical'

2Crafty Products used:

'Poppy's Ornate Frame'
  'Fine Words Set 2'
'Butterflies' 

I have used some of the floral paper as a frame for my page. 

I have then added some colour to my background.

I have used the 'Poppy's Ornate Frame' to frame my photo.

I have finished it in a pastel yellow paint.

I have then used one of the words from the 'Fine Words Set 2',

that I have also finished in the same yellow.

I have layered this over some tickets, under my frame.

I have also used some of the 'Butterflies', which I have finished

 in a pale blue, and scattered over my page.

I hope you like what I have created, 

and that it inspires you to get crafty today.

Until next time

Lisa
