'Adore' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty Lovers!
It's Lisa here today to share some scrappy inspiration with you,
a layout featuring my son. 

 2Crafty products used:

 'Mini Family Icons'

'Mini Number Panels'

'Arrow Gear Clusters'

'Steampunk Element Set 1'

'Fine Word Set 1'

'Industrial Light Bulbs'

 

 

For this layout, I used one of the 'Industrial Light Bulbs',
on the right side of my photo. I finished it in black, 
and then roughly painted the light bulb element
 to make it look like light.  

I also used one of the 'Mini Number Panels',
also finished in black. 

 

 

I also used one of the 'Arrow Gear Clusters',
also finished in black and adhered on the right side, 
layered with some light bulbs elements from my papers.

 

 

For my title, I used one of the words from the 

'Fine Word Set 1', again finished in black,

and adhered under my photo.  

 

I also used one of the 'Mini Family Icons', 

also in black and layered on a tag. 
I also used one of the 'Steampunk Elements Set 1', 
in this cluster of elements.  

 

 

On the left side of my page, 
I used two more of the 'Industrial Light Bulbs',
finished the same as the previous piece, 
and layered in the top left corner of my page. 

I really love how the black pops against
 the yellow and neutral tones of my papers.
I hope that you like what I have created.

Until next time!

Lisa
 

“Love You”By Di Garling

 Well hi there & hello. Di Garling here with you today.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog.

Today I have another layout to share with you & hopefully inspire you too.

2Crafty Chipboard Used....

"Cherri" Border

"Love You" Balloon - Title

"Clock Face" Discs

I have layered some of the little

"Clock Face Discs"

behind my photos in amongst all the layers.

I always love using any sort of clock faces in my scrapping

because I figure that clocks are the perfect symbol of "TIME" !!

How absolutely beautiful is this

"Cheri Border"
 that I have placed down the left side of my layout.
I painted it in white acrylic paint.

Such a striking addition to my layout.

Next up was the "Love You" Balloon that is my

title piece. I have placed it along the right edge of my photo.

It kind of says it all !!

Well thats all I have for you today.

I hope you can get some inspiration from it.

I am releasing this layout as a KIT.

Everyday Story By Charmane Sharp

 

Charmane here with you today, to share a layout I created with two

pieces of paper from a Mintay Art Journal pad that I placed down the middle

making the design look as if the flowers are coming out from the middle. I 

also cut other elements from Mintay books to coordinate, like the Seed Stems

and Floral pieces.

2Crafty Chipboard used...

Corner Mini Hannah

Frame Celia's Flourish

Title- Everyday Story

After a coat of Gesso on my 2Crafty pieces I watercolored Everyday Story

with a soft Peach shade and brushed some Gesso over. Then I used a dirty

Versamark ink pad and used Clear embossing Powder. This gave me flecks

in the finish to distinguish the finish result from the Peach shades below it.

By placing a Mini Hannah Flourish on either side of my photo it acts

as a frame extension from my image. I used watercolour shades of Teal

and Green to colour it and dry Gesso over the top once dry.

I cut a floral wreath from a Mintay Floral book and placed Celia's Frame

over the top for a dimensional look. Then built my flower cluster on the

bottom so it stood out as a feature in the middle of my layout. I 

Watercoloured it with a shade of Peach and dabbed some off in places

for contrast so it wasn't all one shade.

As I already had 2Crafty Chipboard focused in the middle of my layout I 

opted to created my own foliage this time by making a Distress Oxide background

 on a piece of White Card. I built up layers of Evergreen Bough, Cracked Pistachio,

 Iced Spruce and Picket Fence by pressing the card through the puddles on my craft

 mat drying in between. Then I die cut leaves from it giving me varying shades of

Aqua Greens.

Until next time.

With You Anything is Possible - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!
I am back to share my first layout for May!

2Crafty Products Used:

11" Heart Swirl Backing Sheet
With You Anything is Possible title
6" Revolution Frame

I have used the backing sheet, cutting off the portion I wanted and adhered it to the left
of the page, tucking it under the paper.  I have highlighted the photo, by adding one
of the Circle Revolution Frames to draw you eye in and chose the perfect title to finish
the page off.

The paper and the phot of my husband and I are romantic I wanted the chipboard to
 reflect that dramatic feel.

After prepping with white gesso I started to spray the chipboard with coordinating sprays. 
 I used Dylusions ink pray in black marble, slate grey and postbox red, I also used Ranger Distress Stain in lost shadow.

The title I wanted to stand out but still coordinate so I used distress ink and distress embossing powder in lumberjack plaid.

Thanks for stopping by

Daisy Art Cards by Tania Ridgwell

  Hello there! 

Tania popping in today to share the first of my DT projects for May. 
  I have created a set cards for my first share.

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Decorative Doily Flourish Frame

*Decorative Circle Accents Set 1

*Frame Retro Set

*Photo Adornment - Element Set 3

I created each of my card bases using the beautiful Stamperia "Daisy Art" Paper Collection. 

For these cards I kept the large Decorative Circle Accent & Photo Adornment

chippie pieces raw.  The Decorative Doily Flourish Frame, smaller Decorative Circle Accent & Frame Retro chippies have all been coloured with a white Posca paint pen.

 as I think it suited the colours in the papers perfectly.  

To construct each of the cards I added either a Decorative Circle Accent,  Decorative Doily Flourish Frame, Frame Retro or Photo Adornment chippies to each.  I then embellished them with coordinating Stamperia chipboard Die Cuts and paper blooms. 

See each card below.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Daisy Art Cards.
  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

You Are awesome Robin Schelin

 Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing my first layout for May.
I can't believe this year is almost half over already! Time goes by soooo fast!

This layout is of my very awesome Granddaughter, Ashli, from many years ago. We were out on a photo shoot when the wind just whipped up out of nowhere. And I just happened to be taking this picture at that exact moment. Now I'm no photographer, by any stretch, but this one is for the books! This could be Fabio's little girl!! Look him up!

You Are awesome 

Fabulous 2Crafty chippies I used:

Grid Panel

Decorative circle Accents Set 1

You Are awesome

As this is my thang, all of the chipboard was covered in Gesso first before altering. Got to have a good base for all those fabulous paints, waxes, inks etc... 

I cut up the Grid Panel and placed a piece of it at the top of the photo. I painted it with a mix of White Adirondack and Barcelona Beige Chalk Paint. 

Under the flowers here on the left, I added one of the circles from the Decorative Circle Accents Set 1. I painted it with Black Gesso. This was to add depth and dimension to the flower cluster, and to balance with the black used in other places.

The title You Are awesome is exactly what she is! I painted 'You Are' with black Gesso, again to balance with the black in other places on the layout. The word 'awesome' was painted with a mix of Glacier, Providential Blue, and White Adirondack Chalk Paint. This was, of course, to balance out the blues.

Under the title, I added in another piece of the Grid Panel.

Hope you like this layout of my awesome Granddaughter!
I'll see you back later in the month with more inspiration from 2Crafty.
