"Skaterboy" PLUS Video Tutorial By Sabrina Turpin

 Hello 2Crafty fans!

Summer is nearly over here in Canada, kids are back to school and days are getting
shorter and shorter... this means more time to stay inside and work on some new layouts!
This time around I have a new layout to reveal that features my son who is turning 10 very soon. 

 

Here are some close up shots of the chipboard elements.

For the "Summer Leaf Stems", I used white enamel with blue sparkles.

On the title, "Skater Boy", I applied black embossing powder

 and then applied silver embossing ink on top.

For the "Funky Leaf Swirls", I used navy metallic paint

 and applied silver embossing ink on top.

On the "Western Set 1" feathers, I applied teal ink and traced the contour with black ink. 

For the "Checkerboard" in the background, I applied black embossing ink roughly.

March Shares With Beck BT

Hi, it's Beck Beattie here.    I can't wait to show you two fun layouts I created for this month's share.   For the first layout I'm going to share with you a layout I created as part of 2Crafty's Guest  Dectives over at CSI (Color Stories Inspiration) challenge site.  Of all the challenge sites  that has always been a favourite of mine.  I just adore the real challenge they provide pushing  you to create out of your comfort zone.     Please remember while you are here  to become a blog follower  & leave a blog comment to be eligible to go in our monthly draw  for a great chippie prize pack.

"Whats In A Name"

I had so much fun creating this page as part of CSI's guest detectives.  

  The Challenge I played along with for this layout is:  

I also created a video of my page if you want to see my creative process in creating it.  

Head to my you tube channel HERE to see it.

For my circle frames I added some Shimmerz Creameez and DecoArt Metallic lustre

  I coloured up the Checkboard clumps with Shimmerz new Aqua Hues in inter-BLACK-tic

  The 'name' word I took from the Alpha set 1 and coloured with Aqua Hues and  Faber-Castell Gelatos in Orange Sorbet

"Come Fly With Me" This next layout features a sneak at the next CSI challenge due to go live on friday...  You'll have to wait to see all the details and full case file until then.  But while you  wait enjoy a sneak into what I have created for it!   

  I actually decided to paint all my chipboard pieces in white as a subtle but fun and layered element.
