Her Smile (title)

Sharon Butterfiles

 Let's start this Pretty Birdcage (named pefectly I might add)

I have sitting moungst the blues & purples fussy cut out flowers images.

I have simply inked this birdcage with some black..

Next up for the title 'Her Smile' which is such a pefect title for this gorgeous photo of my girl.

I have given 'Her Smile' two coats of gesso and I think  it looks so good sitting over the birdcage.

You may have notice that the Pretty Birdcage does have this super sweet tiny bird in the centre of the cage.

But for this page I wanted to added some butterflies & I have used two of the Sharon Butterfiles

inking both with a lovely pastel purple and placing the smaller butterfly over the bird....

And lastly I have added the date, using the January from Fine word set - Months inking this with black.

and then for the year 2019 inking this navy blue color...

That's it from me today,

Thanks for stopping by and 

hopefully I have inpsired you in someway..

Adore Lovely You Step x Step Tutorial by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today with a layout I created for my first share for October.

  I have a short step x step tutorial on how I created my layout too.

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

 *Clock Face Discs

 *Adore Script

*Sharon's Butterflies

*Foliage Set 6

To create the background page I added layers of paper and tucked in corrugated cardstock
adding some texture with a stencil and gold opal polish.

I gave all the chipboard pieces a light coat of gesso and then coloured all the pieces with
purple opal polish.

I tucked in the Clock Faces Chipboard under the corrugated cardstock and photo mat.
Added the Adore Chipboard title to the bottom left of the page.  

I fussy cut lots of floral elements and tucked them in and around the Chipboard to add more
layers. Added my photo.  I then tucked in the Chipboard Foliage amongst the fussy cut elements,
added the Sharon's Butterflies Chipboard to the fussy cut elements.  To finish my page I
lightly sponged some gesso over the Chippies.

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

"Cherished Family Memories" Layout By Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I present to you my first inspiration of this month of August. 

The warmth of the summer inspired me to create a dynamic and colorful layout. 

With a family photo taken this year for my son and daughter-in-law’s birthday.

"Cherished Family Memories" 

The 2Crafty Chipboard Used:

- Word "Cherished Family Memories"

- 6 Inch Mandala N°5

- Sharon's-Butterflies

As always a layer of white gesso on each chipboard.

The background of my paper being essentially pink it was necessary to find a color 

in harmony to embellish the chipboards.

I hesitated a lot, but I dared the yellow color.

I cut the "Mandala" chipboard before putting it under my photo like a beautiful sun.

 I embellished each panel with Lindy’s Gang "Sunset Yellow Orange" embossing powder, 

I had to apply several layers to get a strong yellow. 

On the butterflies I added a few touches of black ink as well as a darker yellow.

I have arranged my layout according to the title, it is flashy and deserves to be in plain sight.

The rose being still very predominant I added some yellow embellishments.

Now I’m done, I hope you won’t feel any pain in your eyes 

and that my choice of chipboard will inspire you!

Thank you very much and see you soon.

“So Beautiful”By Chris Tingey

 

“So Beautiful”

Hi everyone, I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas, 

I am so excited to show you my very first project for 2Crafty. 

I have created this layout and used one of my favourite photo's of my daughter. 

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

Flourish Adornment Set 6

Sharon Butterflies

Leafy Shrub Set 2

Thistle Shrub

Stitched Lace Border

Ariel Spray

To start with I gave all the gorgeous Chipboards a couple of coats of white paint, it doesn't 

need to be perfect, I quite like it to look a bit textured, so dabbing it on adds to that. 

I stitched along the edge of the Stitched Lace Border Chippie with some lavender coloured thread....

I love the fact that the chippie's are quite flexible, so I layered up the butterflies 

and shaped their wings to give some height....

I also shaped some of the beautiful flourish stems and tucked these 

in and around my fussy cut flowers....

I added the beautiful Ariel Spray Chippie to the left of my photo to frame it -

 with some more of the layered butterflies....

I love the Thistle Shrub.....I divided it up and tucked little bits of it to the right and left of

my photo and also added one of the chippie's from the Leafy Shrub set....

I hope you like my layout and I hope I have inspired you to layer up, 

shape and maybe even stitch on your chipboards. 

"Just you " quick and easy video tutorial by Jenny J.

                                                              Good morning everyone!

Here is a quick video process of my today's layout.

Click below for the video

You will be able to see those gorgeous chipboard pieces

*Sharon's butterflies

*Circle lace panel

*Heidi's vines

*Just you

A few close-ups pictures now

You can see above that I've applied some texture paste on my background.

I've done some random stamping too.

My title "Just you" is heat embossed with a pretty powder 

with chunky pieces of glitter in it:

that's what gives that texture :)

Below, a piece of "Heidi's vines" (just the top of them),

also heat embossed.

"Sharon's butterflies" chippie is easily treated with a Lindy's spray.

Love, love, love that "Circle lace panel": didn't you?

You can see this gorgeous piece all around my picture.

It it simply painted with gesso and colored with a spray 

but using a brush to give a watercolor look.

My focal point wouldn't be finish without some art stones and white drops.

I hope it will give you some inspiration :)

Please subscribe to my Youtube channel also 

for more videos tutorial to come.

Stay safe!
