Two Vintage Layouts By Lisa Griffith

Hello crafty friends!! I have prepared two layouts  this month, both in my favourite vintage style.  

But before we start..

I love finding vintage photographs on Pinterest and this one caught my eye for the 

lovely girls and the beautiful patterns in their clothes. 

I used the following 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces: 'Mini Branches' 'Doily Frames' 'Birds Set' 'Leafy Shrub Set 1'  

I painted the 'Birds Set' with black acrylic paint and then lightly brushed 

on some metallic silver paint to give the wings some motion.

For the 'Doily Frame' and the 'Leafy Shrub Set' I embossed them both

 with sparkly black embossing powder to add some shine.

And the last chipboard piece I used, the 'Mini Branches'. I firstly coated them with white gesso,

then I painted them with bright green watercolor paint and then stamped them in black ink.

'Miss Potter'

This is a photograph I found on Pinterest of Beatrix Potter with her pet mouse. 

Who remembers falling in love with all of her sweet little animal characters?

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

'Corner Thick Vine'

'Brick Panel'

For the 'Brick Panel' I kept it simple with some brown ink, and for the 'Corner Thick Vines' 

I painted them white, and then splashed them with some pink mist to give it a weathered look.

I hope you have found a little inspiration today :)

Winter Inspiration By Athanasia

'Frozen in Time'

Hello 2Crafty friends!

Winter is here in Greece, so as cold wind, cozy mood and warm sweaters.

I think my layout today shows this wintery feeling...

This photo is by Finnabair's Ephemera and I really love how old and 

timeworn it looks. I used the Tiny Vivian's frame , the set of three 

Spiral Snowflakes and a Pen Nib.

 I really love how they look on my composition.

In order to alter the spiral snowflakes I used White Gesso and white Glitter.

First I applied the gesso with a sponge and then I spread the glitter.

The gesso works just like glue, so the snowflakes where ready to use in no time!

I wanted the Tiny Vivian's frame to be black, so I painted it with

 black silk by ColourArte with a paintbrush.

For the pen nib (below) I used 'Vintage Photo' distress ink with the applicator and a little bit

 of white gesso in some spots. I stacked it on the page with staples.

"Christmas Tree Decorations"

With only a few days left until Christmas I decided to make some more

 decorations for my Christmas tree.

Here is how I made them. Very easy and quick!

You will only need White Gesso (you can also use any kind of glue like 
Gel Medium or craft glue), glitter and of course 2Crafty Chipboard :)

First you have to cover the chipboard with gesso. 

Before it drys, spread a generous amount of glitter.

Gesso will work as a glue.

Use the tweezers to remove the chipboard from the glitter and give it a good shake to remove the excess. Repeat the process if you have left some spots without glitter.

Tie some thread and your decorations are ready to hang on the tree.
