"Best Holiday Ever" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone, 

It is with great pleasure that I present my second inspiration for this month of September.

A colorful layout with this beautiful photo of a "little cousin" contemplating the sea.

These photos give me joy and leave me unforgettable memories. 

"Best Holiday Ever"

The chipboard used:

- Best Holiday Ever

- Mini Decorative Frame Set 9

- Magnolia Stems

- Heart Bubbles

     

I start by applying a layer of white gesso on each chipboard. 

The chipboards have all been embellished with inks from Lindy’s Gang.

For the chipboard "Magnolia Stems" I use coral shades "Cape Rod Coral" 

and "Kissin Kenickie Coral" which I apply with a brush. 

This flower pattern is divinely beautiful. I raised it slightly so that it overlaps the photo. 

I added a little touch of fantasy by placing this beautiful frame directly on my photo. 

To improve the structure of my layout, I’ve inserted these adorable "Hearts Bubbles". 

They also exist with stars and circles. I love them.

I chose an imposing title and, just like for the frames and bubbles, I opted for a navy blue shade.

I don’t think that little boy had the most wonderful holidays of his life. 

He is still too young to be aware of it, but he will keep a memory.

I hope you liked this layout and inspired you to enhance your beautiful family photos by creating a beautiful decor with chipboards.

Thank you for your visit!

Marie

          

Filled With Wonder by Emma Zappone plus VIDEO

 Hello Creatives, Em with you today.
The piece I am sharing features lots of chipboard circles with a lovely pastel colour tone.
Plus there is a VIDEO for you to watch 🥳

Here are the chipboard pieces used....

6" Revolution Frame
Circle Stack
Circle Dot Frames
Mini Decorative Frame Set 9

I used only the negatives from the Revolution frames and a couple of different sizes from the circle dot frame and stack.

The Circle's all have the same finish just a different colour. They started with an acrylic paint base, once dry, I added a white paint by flicking over them all. Once that was dry, I then added a clear emboss to bring out all the colour.

I love how effective these circles look with the background and under the image stack.

The cool decorative frame is painted with white crackle paste, allowed to dry and then a little pink ink wiped back to sit in the 'cracks', finished with a pink wax to really highlight the crackle pattern. This was then cut in half to fir around the photo how I wanted.

I really enjoyed using the same style of elements, they compliment each other so well.

I would love you to grab a cuppa and enjoy the video made here....

I hope you enjoyed 🥰

Hope this inspires you today.

Thanks for joining me.
Stay Crafty, Em xx

'Let It Be' - by Emma Zappone

 Hi there 2Crafty friends.
Em with you today sharing a layout featuring a neutral palette with hints of colour.
This style is becoming a real fave of mine.

I have used these pieces amongst my layers.....

11" Fine Floral Frame Set
Grid Panel
Mini Decorative Frames Set 9

I thought about keeping my chippy raw for this one as I wanted to utilise the neutral, brown tones. 
But I chose to paint the Grid panel and the Frames with a cream acrylic paint, so that I could antique them instead.

Once the acrylic was dry on the frames, I added an Umber liquid acrylic to add some depth in colour. Dried that and then applied an antiquing wax to them. Loved this effect.

The Grid Panel was left cream with some stamping to finish it off.
I added some stamping to the Frames as well.

The Fine Florals were painted with colour acrylics to match the tones I wanted to pull from the image.
These were then set with a clear emboss powder. Which gives it a beautiful shine.

I love how tonal all the chipboard is. They really are the perfect layering embellishment.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope I have inspired a little.
I look forward to seeing you again later in the month.

Till then stay crafty, Em xx
