'Live Everday With Intention' Layout by Rachael Funnell

 

Hello Everyone & welcome back to the blog...

Rach with you today sharing another layout

I created with some great 2 Crafty Chipbaord pieces....

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

Triangle set

Medium Steampunk gears 

Large gears 

Live evertday with intention

Starting off with the Triangle Set where I have inked

 some with black & have left a few raw....

Then I had the left over bit from the Triangle Set & 

I thought! why not use this and add an extra 

texture element to this page, also leaving it raw

& placing it between my page layers....

Next up! The Medium Steampunk gears 

Large gears where I have sponged on

a coat of gesso....

And lastly! My Title 'Live Everyday With Intention'

 inking everyday with Intention with black 

& leaving the Live as is...

That's it from me for now...

I hopefully inspired you in some way, 

maybe to use up that left over piece/pieces 

and add them into your next project....

Thanks for stopping by  

Until next time xx

Good Vibes by Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty friends!

One good thing to come out of the various pandemic lockdowns is that I had time to pick up a new crafting skill: I started sewing! At first, I was doing facemasks to help people stay safe&stylish. But over the months I became more comfortable and I recently completed my first pieces of clothing for my kids. 

Last week, I completed my very first long-sleeved t-shirt, custom made for my son, using fabric he choose! We are both super happy with the result so this really deserved a nice picture so I could create a layout to celebrate this success! I've picked some awesome chipboards that fit my son and a color pallette that matches the t-shirt's.

 "Good Vibes"

On the "Brick Panel", I roughly applied some diluted green-gold shimmering paint, still letting a bit of the chipboard color and texture show through.

For the "Foliage Set 5", I used green-gold embossing enamel then inked the borders in black. On the "Steampunk cog strips", I applied pewter paint, then added some rustic mint paint applied very roughly and finally applied some gold wax with my fingers.

On the "Steampunk Gears Medium", I applied the same rustic mint paint and gold wax as on the "Steampunk Cog Strips" (but not the pewter paint), then inked the borders in black. For the "Circle Frames", I just roughly rubbed gold wax, to let a lot of the chipboard color through. On the title, "Good vibes", I used black-gold embossing enamel.

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

Brick Panel [660038]

Foliage Set 5 [M00802]

Steampunk Cog Strips [M00783]

Steampunks Gears Medium [M00646]

Circle Frames [120022]

Good vibes [W00583]

That's all for me today! I hope you enjoyed this layout and that it gave you some inspiration for your own creations. I'll be back in a few weeks with a new layout to share with you guys! See you soon!

Wing Canvas By Marie Claude Rodier

Hi everyone,

For my first project this month I have created a Mini Canvas.

We are about to redecorate my oldest son's room and he asked me to create something
that would best fit it's new decor with remaining metal pieces of an old mixed media
project that he particularly liked - I was happy to oblige!                    

Wing Canvas

I started by painting every metal pieces and chipboards with black gesso. Meanwhile,
I prepped my canvas with modelling paste, black gesso and several layers blue tone waxes.
When all the pieces were dry, I glued them with hot glue and heavy body gel medium.

I roughly applied Firebird wax on all pieces, leaving some part black
. White gold and white matte waxes were used to highlight them.
