February Inspiration + Video Tutorial by Kareen Dion

Hello everyone!

It's Kareen here today with my inspirations!

So, it's still winter in Canada and I'm really looking forward to the Spring now.

I just can't take it anymore with all the snow and the cold.

But anyway, I don't really have a choice so I'm still presenting you two

Winter layouts this month!

"#Love"

My first layout is a pink/purple winter layout.

I used four different chipboards to enhance my page.

For adding texture on my background, I used Turkish Lattice Panel, I also added

a Modern Swirls, a deer from the Deer Head Set and the title #love from the Mini #Word Set 1.

You can see that I embossed the Modern Swirls chipboard with a light pink embossing powder.

The title #love from the Mini #Word Set 1was embossed with purple embossing powder and

I added chunky white embossing powder on it, but not everywhere as it gives a little

snowy look.

And for the  Turkish Lattice Panel it is simply black embossed and the Deer from the
 Deer Head Set is embossed with a two-tones embossing powder.

2Crafty Chipboard used : 

- Turkish Lattice Panel

- Deer Head Set

- Modern Swirls

- Mini #Word Set 1

"Today is Perfect"

My second layout is still a winter layout with my daughter.

She enjoys playing in the snow, but not the cold! 

She gave me a great picture and I couldn't resist to put it on a page!

I also have a video process with this layout!!

I used the Moroccan Panel, the stars from "Love You to the Moon Set", 

the Mini Hot Air Balloons and finished with the title "Today is Perfect".

The title "Today is Perfect" is embossed with very light color. It's the
 same color that the Moroccan Panel is on the background.

The little stars from the "Love You to the Moon Set" are painted with gold paint.

For the Mini Hot Air Balloons, I applied a layer of white
 gesso and then added paint (gold and magenta).

And here is the video process :

An extra layout!

Yes I have an extra layout today!! As 2Crafty is sponsoring the blog challenge

CSI : http://csichallenge.blogspot.ca/

I did a summer layout as the picture inspired this so much!

And all that tropical vibes, I had to use the 6" Flamingo Frame Set!!

I added the Chicken Barbed Wire Small on the background and

 finished with the sea "Line Words Summer" set of chipboards.

For the 6" Flamingo Frame Set, I embossed all the frame pink but for the leaves on the 

chipboard, I added green embossing powder, that gives two tones on the same chipboard.

For the title sea "Line Words Summer", I simply white embossed it.

And for the Chicken Barbed Wire Small I also used white embossing powder.

And that's it for now!

I hope I inspired you and see you soon!

October Inspiration by Noura Pompilla

Hello 2crafty friends  !!

I hope this finds you all well.
This is my first project of the month which was inspired by one
of the most delicate things for me which are babies.
  
Canvas-"Just too Cute"

Some details...

I used Circle heart frames to frame the photo of the cute beautiful baby
and then I gave it just one layer of acrylic paint.

Chicken Wire Panel, I painted it with acrylic paint and afterwards
I covered it with clear embossing powder.

To decorate some parts I used Everyday Font L/C which I painted with gesso
and white crackle paste, adding the letters A, B and C.

Finally I left the title in its natural states as it goes well with the soft colors.

2Crafty Chipboard used:
-Just too Cute tittle
-Chicken wire Panel
-Circle heart frames
-Everyday Font L/C

I based this on  the following challenges...

Layout - "Hapiness is This"

For my second project I decided to maintain the majority of the chipboards in
their natural state for a lovely contrast on the very bright background.

To the background I've added some pieces from the Turkish Panel.

I added to the sides of the photo Mini Flourish Bits.

The "Happiness is this " title in black acrylic paint.

I hope I was able to help you with some ideas, thanks for reading,
see you next month.
