Shine Bright By Marie Claude Rodier

 Hi everyone,

Today’s layout is all about clean and simple, a style I like as it’s focuses on fewer elements
and brings the eyes straight to the picture.
2Crafty has a lot of larger chipboard pieces that are perfect for this kind of project.

Shine Bright

6" mandala No. 3 has been basecoated with gesso and covered with Sparks Chesnet acrylic paint.

After being basecoated, Number Panels were embossed. First with light copper powder and second with light gold.

Shine Bright was embossed with light rose gold powder.

Until next time, be happy and be creative!

Hello 2Crafty friends!

Today I'd like to share a layout that has been a few months in the making. I had picked a few
pictures of my daughter, showing much how she has grown over the past 5 years, but
I was failing to find the right background to match her perky spirit.

 It turns out that the solution was to create a background myself! So I got to work on
that background with lots of texture and some colors that really represented her. Then I
picked amazing chipboards to make those pictures pop as I wanted!
I'm pretty happy about the results.

"Shine Bright"

Close ups of the main cluster of embellishements.

For the "Frame Botanical", I used midnight teal embossing powder and applied some pink
wax on top with my finger. On the "gorgeous girl", part of "Mini Title Stick Set 1", I just
applied black ink.

With the "Decorative Disc Set 2", I applied a shimmering light pink mousse paint.
Then I inked the borders ink black.

For the title, "Shine bright", I used silver embossing ink".

In this layout, I used the following 2Crafty chipboards:

Frame Botanical [FR0122]

Mini title stick set 1 [MB022]

Decorative disc set 2 [M00808]

Shine Bright [W00518]

That's all for me today!
I hope you enjoyed this layout and that it'll give you inspiration for your own creations!
I'll be back soon with more ideas to share with you guys.
Until then, happy crafting!

"Shine Bright" A layout by Bec Genet

Hi everyone.
 Sadly today is my last post for 2Crafty, I have loved creating with this gorgeous chipboard
 and want to thank Vanessa and Di for having me on this amazing team.

This layout is based around the Circular Leafy Frame chipboard piece, it's just so beautiful.
 I've had it sitting in my stash for a while now and was unsure how to use it, but
I finally figured it out.

The 2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Circular Leafy Frame

Shine Bright Title

Mini Squiggly Bits

Palm Leaves

I started off this layout by coating the Circular Leafy Frame, Shine Bright Title and Mini Squiggly Bits of chipboard in white gesso. I used the Prima watercolours in Woodlands to add colour to the frame. I added blue tones in a random and uneven manner, I really like this variation in colour which gives the frame more interest. With the Shine Bright Title and Mini Squiggly Bits of chipboard I added some gold texture paste while the gesso was still wet, this gives just a light hint of gold. To the Palm leaves I added a deep green watercolour to the raw chipboard.
