Imagine - with Emma.

Hi 2Crafty friends.

Emma here with my last post for May.

Today's layout is bright, playful and a little quirky.

Imagine

Here are my chipboard pieces......

Curly Feather

Imagine Title
Flower Doilies

Soft Feather set

I wanted playful and bright for this page.

And I wanted the chippy to really pop from the page.

So I started by applying a coat of white Gesso to all chipboard pieces. Then I started to apply colour.

For the Curly feather I painted on an Ink spray in a gorgeous green and then once that was dry, I clear embossed it. 

For the Soft Feathers ( pictured under the title )I used an oxide and a watercolour ink to coat in vibrant colours of blue and yellow.

Once these were dried I stamped a script stamp to them.

The colour outcome for the Flower doily Is a combination of the left over inks of the blue and yellow. Creating a gorgeous turquoise in amongst green and blues. This complimented the image perfectly. (I found this awesome pic on Pinterest).

And finally, the awesome title word 'Imagine' was painted with oxide inks and given a heavy clear emboss once dry.

Once all my elements were in place, and I was happy, I flicked acrylic white ink all over my page including the chipboard.

Complete!

I hope this has given a little inspo to your day.

Until I see you all again, Happy Scrapping.

Beautiful Spooktober by Sabrina

Hello 2Crafty friends,

For this month of "Spooktober", I've prepared a layout featuring myself with the
 halloween costume I wore last year to go trick or treating with my kids. I wanted to
 prepare a themed layout that would not overdo the halloween theme so it would
still look good when the time for spiced pumpkin lattes had passed.

In the background, for the "Curly Feathers", I applied orange ink then traced the 

contour with black ink. On the "Grid Panel", visible at the top, I used black matte paint.

I applied orange ink on the "Halloween Frame", then applied black embossing ink,

 and finally put a final coat of orange metallic embossing ink on top. On the title,

 "beautiful", I applied black embossing powder.

For the "Amelia Flower Stems", I used silver embossing powder

 and then applied black embossing ink on top of it.

 Enjoy the spooky times and stay creative!

 See you soon with more inspiration ideas.

-Moment Loopy Font

-Circle stack

-Curly Feathers

Here's my tutorial 

And some pictures....

I used black pan pastel to add color on my white cardboard.
After, I used stencil and modeling paste to add some words.

I used embossing powder half white and half black on the title ''moment'' and on the "feathers".

For the "Circles", I just painted them with gesso. 

You can see that as always, I added some gesso and water drops.

''Journey''

For my second creation this month, a winter one...

2Crafty chipboard list

-St. Nicks Snowflakes

-Linear Snowflakes

-Birds set

-''Journey''

Here's the second tutorial

I played with ink spray on watercolor cardstock.

I used sa tencil with black gesso for the trees. And, as a second step,
 I used plastic microsphere half melted to add snow texture.

I painted the title ''Journey'' and the "Birds set" with white and black gesso.

The two kind of "snowflakes" were painted with white gesso.

I also added some gesso+water drops to make an effect of falling snow.

Thanks for stopping by ...

See you back here soon.
