'Oh Happy Day' Layout + VIDEO by Lisa Amiet

Hello all!

It's Lisa here today to share some inspirations with you.

I have created a new layout,

Oh Happy Day

2Crafty Products Used:

For this layout I have used a striped paper for my base.

I have distressed, and layered my corner pieces. 

I have then used some stamps,

 and splatters where my photos stack will be. 

For my chipboard I have started with the cacti from the 'Cactus Set',

which I have given a coat of gesso, 

and then used my watercolour paints to colour them.

I love the effect of the colours. 

I have then used the same green tones,

 to colour the 'Summer Leaf Set' foliage.

I have then placed these to help the flow of my page.

To finish, over one of my cactus, I have layered my title,

 left raw, from the 'Mini Title Stick Set 4',

These were the perfect pieces for my page and photo. 

You can watch the full process video of how I created this below.

Until next time!

Cherish by Sabrina Turpin

Hello Chipboard Fans!

It is time for me to reveal my layout for June, and I've got a spicy and spiky one for you guys this time around! I found these amazing cactus chipboards which reminded me of hot, sandy dunes and I knew exactly which picture they would fit perfectly with. Thus, I present you my "Cherish" layout, featuring my son and daughter standing hand-in-hand at the beach, feet in the sand, marveling at the infinite ocean in front of them.

For the "Mini Hexagon Clump", I used red pigment ink, applied as a paint. For the "Frame Jenna", I first inked it with a red ink, then applied a gold embossing ink.

I simply painted the "Cherish Loopy Font" title with a black matte paint. 

Finally, for the awesome "Cactus Set", I applied some yellow and lime metallic paste paints and drew some additional details with green, yellow and brown dye ink pencils. Then I inked the border with black ink.

I worked with the following chipboards:

Mini Hexagon Clump MB015

Cactus Set M00733

Frame Jenna FR0079

Cherish Loopy Font W00074

I completed this layout as a guest designer for the case file #256 CSI: Color,Stories, Inspiration because 2Crafty is a sponsor this month.

I hope this layout gave you a few ideas for your own creations! I'll be back soon with more inspirations.
