"Summer Days" Layout with Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.

How great of you all to stop by the 2Crafty blog, this is my first layout for the month of August. I am so glad I have my mojo back I bought a lot of papers lately which I didn't need too, since I have lots of papers lol... but I know every scrapbooker & mixed media artist wants to have the newest lines if can. This layout is also a summery one with some of the newest prima papers and a bunch of my favorite 2Crafty Chipboard pieces. 
Enjoy my post....

Summer Days: 

Beautiful 2Crafty Chipboard pieces used:
Fine Stem Frames 
Seagulls
Palm Leaves Set
Summer Days
Mini Word Set 2
Flourish Set 5
Seaweed Set
Seashells Set 2

All the 2Crafty Chipboard pieces are treated with my big pot of white gesso. Then I used a couple of my aqua/alcohol twin markers for all my pieces but the word "adore" on that one I used some white embossing powder. 

The design I did for this layout is one of my own I made a couple of years back when I was in the 49 and Market design team. I sometimes love to look at my old scrapbook layout to get inspired from but not only mine but all creative souls there are in this industry. 

Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project soon hope to see you back then....

"Paradise Found" by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovely 2Crafty friends,

It's a lovely day to visit the blog, for today I have another layout to share with you. Since I am in the summer mood I made a layout with a picture of my sweet cousin Jaime in some tropical place. On this layout I did a lot of mixed media like using crackle paste, plaster paste, stenciling & spraying I also did that on my beautiful 2Crafty chipboard. 

Paradise Found: 

  2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Fine Word Set 1
Paradise Found
Circle Word Tag Set 1
Intricate Seahorses
Seashells Set 2
Palm Leaves Set
Leafy Shrub Set 3

First I painted all the chipboard pieces with white gesso, then I used some rust paste on the Leafy Shrub Set 3 which I then painted with two different shades of acrylic paint & waxes. The seahorse was treated with some starburst spray and some crackle paste {the translucent kind}. On the "Paradise Found" phrase I added two different embossing powder because I didn't had the color I wanted.

Then I also treated it with same crackle paste as the seahorse after that I added some wax on the word found to make it a different color the word "forever" was placed on the phrase that one was painted with rust paste. In the end I added some spray and art stones.
