'It's Time to Bloom' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty lovers!
It's Lisa here today to share some
bright spring inspiration with you.

'Time to Bloom'

2Crafty Products used:

Rosa Frame

Tree with Sparrow

Time to Bloom Title

 

 

For this layout, I used the 'Rosa Frame',

which I have embossed in white, 
and used upside down to have the flower at the bottom.

 

 

I also used the 'Tree with Sparrows' piece,
but without the sparrows :)

I have given it a blue and green watercolour finish
to match my foliage from the papers.

 

 

I then used the 'It's Time to Bloom' title,
which I have also finish in the same watercolour finish.

I hope that you like what I have created,
I love the bright sunny feel to it.

Until next time!

'Feathered Friend'by Tammy Klingner

Hi Chippy Fans.

Tam here today to share my latest with you....

It's called:

"Feathered Friend"

So important to scrap our family pets.

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

"Feathered Friend" Title

"Geometric Arrows"

"Assorted Arrows"

"NEW Aztec Feathers"

"Tree with Sparrows"

I coated the "Geometric Arrows" and "Assorted Arrows" with black acrylic paint.

To the "Feathered Friend Title" I applied white gesso and then added a teal coloured acrylic paint to the top part. 

Whilst still wet I applied yellow acrylic paint to the bottom and then blended the two colours in the centre to achieve that green colour.

I really love that ombre effect and so simple!!

I selected the colours as these are the colours of our pet budgie 'Milo',  as the photos are black and white, I felt it important to include his colours.

I even included some of his feathers - don't worry I didn't pull his feathers out, they were in the bottom of his enclosure! Lol.

I followed the same technique as above with both the gorgeous NEW 'Aztec Feathers' and the little bird from the 'Tree with Sparrows'.

I just added in some swipes of black ink and some pen marks.

How GORGEOUS are those new feathers? So much intricate detail!

Finally I painted a couple of the smaller frames from the "Polaroid Assorted Frames" with white gesso and then stamped some random triangular shapes on them, before tucking them into the layers.

That's it from me today, I'll see you next time.

Until then you can find me on my BLOG.

Luv Tam

'Escape' byTammy Klingner

Tam back again today to share some more chipboard goodness!

This one's titled:

'Escape'

A page that documents my passion for reading.

In 2018, I began a book club, on the spur of the moment with a friend, and it was an unexpected highlight for the year.

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

'Hedgehogs'

'Mini Trees'

'Bookworm'

'Tree with Sparrows'

'Mushrooms'

'Mini Travel Word Set 2'

This layout was created for CSI:Colour Stories Inspiration.

2Crafty Chipboard are sponsors this month.

Have you ever had a go at their challenges? They are lots of fun.

Here's the one I solved:

You can head to their blog to see the clues in detail.

Here's the clues I used:

The colours, stripes, distressed patterns, trees (chipboard, painted, pine), leaves, woodland creatures (hedgehog), bird, mushroom, string, splatters, metal (open book), wood (woodgrain paper, chipboard), journaling inside a handmade book (so cute!!!!)

Let's take a look at the chipboard.

For the 'escape' title from the 'Travel Mini Word Set 2' I applied black ink.

 The 'mushroom' was first coated in white gesso, and then painted with watercolour paint.

I outlined the details with a black pen.

The 'hedgehog' was coated in a metallic wax and then I used sharpie pens to fill in the details.

The 'bird' from the 'Tree with Sparrows' was finished with the same process - some white gesso, watercolour paint and then pens to fill in the detail.

I had so much fun colouring in these chippy elements.

The 'Mini Tree' was coated with Metallic Wax, and then some green ink was added to the leaves.

The 'book stacks' were trimmed away from the worm in the 'bookworm' chipboard.

These were then coated with white gesso, and then various watercolour paints.

A touch of ink was swiped over them to pick up the finer detail.

I really enjoyed colouring these pieces of chipboard.

It's not my normal style to do this, but it was quite relaxing and I'm super happy with the outcome.

When is the last time you tried something new?

I do love that about challenges, they push me out of my comfort zone, and often inspire an extra surge of creativity!!

That's it from me today, I'll see you a bit later in the month.

Summer album by Elena Martynova

Hello my dear friends!!!

I'm always very sad when summer ends here in the northern hemisphere. And although
autumn is quite warm, but everyday it gets colder, the days are shorter and the rains
 interfere to go for a walk.

With my work I want to remind you about the past summer, about the riot of colors,
 singing birds and aromas of flowers.

"Life is Beautiful" - Summer Album

This album will store photos and records of the past summer. About sunsets,
 sunrises, meetings with friends and family, about joys and adventures.

This chipboard doily decorates the album cover.

I've used a collection of paper "Botany summer" by Fabrika Decoru.

Inside the envelope for photos.

 

I made two more envelopes from the rest of the paper.
