Hello & a warm welcome to the 2 Crafty blog. 

Rach with you today sharing my newest creation, this grungy boys layout....

another great moment captured....

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

Giant gears & cogs

2019

#TOTALLY

Steampunk strips

Mini hot air balloons

Starting with the Mini hot air balloon I have sitting to 

the left & under the title. I have given it 2 coats of gesso! 

Next the title #TOTALLY

I went with inking it black along with the Steampunk strips.

 I wanted a different contrast with the Giant Gears & cogs

                        so I went with inking them nice bright blue! AND did the same to the 2019..

Finalizing my layout (as I usually do) with some splattering, 

which then has given the chipboard pieces a great unique finish...

Thanks for stopping by

I hope you feel inpsired in some way!

until next time

February Inspiration + Video Tutorial by Kareen Dion

Hello everyone!

It's Kareen here today with my inspirations!

So, it's still winter in Canada and I'm really looking forward to the Spring now.

I just can't take it anymore with all the snow and the cold.

But anyway, I don't really have a choice so I'm still presenting you two

Winter layouts this month!

"#Love"

My first layout is a pink/purple winter layout.

I used four different chipboards to enhance my page.

For adding texture on my background, I used Turkish Lattice Panel, I also added

a Modern Swirls, a deer from the Deer Head Set and the title #love from the Mini #Word Set 1.

You can see that I embossed the Modern Swirls chipboard with a light pink embossing powder.

The title #love from the Mini #Word Set 1was embossed with purple embossing powder and

I added chunky white embossing powder on it, but not everywhere as it gives a little

snowy look.

And for the  Turkish Lattice Panel it is simply black embossed and the Deer from the
 Deer Head Set is embossed with a two-tones embossing powder.

2Crafty Chipboard used : 

- Turkish Lattice Panel

- Deer Head Set

- Modern Swirls

- Mini #Word Set 1

"Today is Perfect"

My second layout is still a winter layout with my daughter.

She enjoys playing in the snow, but not the cold! 

She gave me a great picture and I couldn't resist to put it on a page!

I also have a video process with this layout!!

I used the Moroccan Panel, the stars from "Love You to the Moon Set", 

the Mini Hot Air Balloons and finished with the title "Today is Perfect".

The title "Today is Perfect" is embossed with very light color. It's the
 same color that the Moroccan Panel is on the background.

The little stars from the "Love You to the Moon Set" are painted with gold paint.

For the Mini Hot Air Balloons, I applied a layer of white
 gesso and then added paint (gold and magenta).

And here is the video process :

An extra layout!

Yes I have an extra layout today!! As 2Crafty is sponsoring the blog challenge

CSI : http://csichallenge.blogspot.ca/

I did a summer layout as the picture inspired this so much!

And all that tropical vibes, I had to use the 6" Flamingo Frame Set!!

I added the Chicken Barbed Wire Small on the background and

 finished with the sea "Line Words Summer" set of chipboards.

For the 6" Flamingo Frame Set, I embossed all the frame pink but for the leaves on the 

chipboard, I added green embossing powder, that gives two tones on the same chipboard.

For the title sea "Line Words Summer", I simply white embossed it.

And for the Chicken Barbed Wire Small I also used white embossing powder.

And that's it for now!

I hope I inspired you and see you soon!

VIDEO Tutorial and Layout - November Inspirations By Sandra Bernard

''Love''

 Hello 2crafty fans...
Today, I have a mixed media steampunk tutorial to show you.
I hope you'll  like all the steps I made in the video. If you need extra tips, just ask me. 

 2crafty chipboard used...

Clock face frames

Giants gears

Circle stack

Mini hot air balloons

Steampunk gears medium

Gears

Vintage clock hands

Vintage keys

Light bulbs

Arrow words set 2

TO VIEW VIDEO CLICK HERE...

For this project I used a 12x12 chipboard as background. I glued all my chipboards,
(Clock face frames 12x12, Giants gears, circle stack, mini hot air balloons, 
steampunk gears medium, gears, Vintage clock hands and light bulbs)
with multipurpose medium gel onto my background. 

I covered the whole project with white gesso.

   All the edges of the chipboards were painted with matte blue and pistachio paint. 

 Then, I painted the outlines of my project with red cafeine paint
 and I removed some paint with a baby's wipe.

 Then, I used metallic bronze to make a patina effect. 

 With the aim of achieving better colors together for a better finish,
I sprayed pearl brown mist on the project.

 Some flowers, badge, textures were used to create the arrangement. 

The title: ''love'' from Arrow words set 2 had been color with some paint to fit with the layout.

''Adorable''

For my second layout this month, I wanted to make a full
 textured, romantic, organic layout. 

2Crafty chipboard products used...

Corner elegant set

Chloe's vines

Adorable script front

For this layout, I used only a very small amount of mediums. I only added
 some green mist on the background to give an organic touch.  

I put some different foam organic that we use in botany. 

I placed the two pieces from cornet elegant set to create a dynamic design. 

I used Chloe's vines to matt my picture and giving them a movement.
They seems attached to the corner elegant set.

I left the chipboard natural to fit with my layout. and I added some drops of gesso at the very end...

See you next month
