A Wedding Frame by Bec Genet

Hi everyone.
 Today I have an off the page creation for you that I have made using lots of 2Crafty Chipboard.
 A friend of mine got married recently and I made her this as a wedding gift.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Corner Alison's

Lattice Leaves

Lacey Border Set

Moroccan Bits

Mini Word Set 2

I started with a plain white frame from Ikea and I took out the glass to create a shadow box.  I then coloured the Corner Alison's with Stampendous Shabby White Embossing enamel and placed the corners on the top and bottom of the frame.
I used this same embossing enamel to colour the Moroccan Bits which I cut into smaller pieces and placed inside the flowers clusters.

On the border from the Lacey Border Set and the Together title from the Mini Word Set 2 I used a pale pink embossing powder. I cut the Lacey Border in half and placed the pieces on the inside edge of the frame.

Finally I used the Nuvo Crystal Drops in Neptune on the Lattice Leaves.

Thanks for visiting

March Inspiration By Debbie

Hi everyone!
 Debbie here with you today with my March layouts. This post is lengthy as I have
 three layouts to share along with a photo tutorial..

"Together"

My first layout I made for a special friend of mine which features lots of 2Crafty Chipboard!
 I based it off the current challenge over at More Than Words March Challenge.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Foliage Cluster
Frame Celia's
Mini Word Set 2
Leafy Shrub Set 2

I love the mixture of embossing powders I used on the Foliage Cluster and Frame Celia's,
 a mixture of black and bright blue.

Tucked beneath the flowers I used a piece from the Leafy Shrub Set 2,
embossed with a couple shades of green.

I kept the title simple, applying some pink ink. It is part of the Mini Word Set 2.

"Precious"

My second layout features a sweet vintage picture of a little girl I found on Pinterest. I'm guest designing at 'Picture This Challenges' this month and created the layout for their March challenge.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Climbing Rose Bush
Mini Word Set 2
Lacey Border

I embossed the Climbing Rose Bush chipboard with a mushroom powder and cut it into
 a few pieces and placed it on both side of the picture.

I used a piece from the Lacey Border Set which I cut into four pieces and embossed  with a
 mixture of Mushroom and Pink embossing powders and placed the pieces around the picture.

Here you can see more of the Climbing Rose Bush chipboard.



My third layout includes a picture tutorial.
 I ran into some technical difficulties at video taping.

"Magical"

I found this photo on Pinterest and was felt like I was taken to a magical place.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Corner Alison's
Glenda's Swirl
Dandelions
Fine Word Set 2

A few closeups:

Dandelions and  Corner Alison's.

I have not quite yet mastered the art of video tutorials, so I have a
step by step photo process for you:....

Step 1:  Spray background paper with blue and brown mists.
 Add paint splatters and some random stamping.

Step 2:  Emboss chipboard pieces.

Step 3:  Adhere decorative transparency and some of the
chipboard pieces.

Step 4:  Add picture, flowers and feather.

Step 5:  Add additional chipboard pieces and more flowers.

Step 6:  Add additional feather, butterflies and chipboard title
along with some microbeads and glass glitter.


I hope I have inspired you today.
Thanks for stopping by!

October Layouts By Sandra Bernard

''Perfection''

Hi there!  Sandra here with you today sharing three layouts.

Two for 2crafty and one more for Kraft+ challenge as guest DT

as 2Crafty are sponsoring over there this month.

Let's start with the first one, where I play with some leaves...

2Crafty Chipboards used:

Tiny leaf stems 

leafy silhouettes

summer leaf stems

frame Ingrid's

Perfection as title 

I treated the three different lots of foliage all different.

For the first one, I used some green foil to add here and there.

For the second one, I used some green metallic paint to give a great color,

and I left the third lot of foliage natural to create a contrast between them all.

I painted the frame with bronze and green metallic paint. 

The title has been keep natural too.

''Sweet''

My second layout was inspired by the beginning of fall. 

The background had been coloured with watercolors.

2Crafty Chipboards used:

Frienship mini word pack

Addy's butterflies

Ivy clusters

Corner Alison's

Most of my chipboard on this layout I have left natural

It just worked well with my colours.

I did color the ivy clusters with watercolor to create a focal point.

I put the two Alison's Corners in such a way to create a frame.

''Cherish''

for Kraft+challenge as guest DT for 2crafty chipboard

The Kraft+ challenge was about the past. I had to add some old scrapbooking things

 such as velum, brads, rub ons etc.... I just had so much fun with this 

challenge and I even keep my style.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Fine Word set 1

Fine Leafy Bush

Frame Louisa's

Dianne's Doily Set

All my chipboards were left natural. 

I think the feeling of my layout is also a kind of natural.

I placed the Dianne's Doily under Frame Louisa's just to add more textures and dimensions.

I cut the Fine Leafy Bush to get two pieces. 

I just added a few drops of mediums to add some textures too.

I hope I have given you some ideas to play with our beautiful  2Crafty chipboards...Have you?

Until next time.
