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.

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.

Enjoy Life By Charmane Sharp

 

This layout was built around the Pointed Doilies which I chose to use

two sets to frame my photos and the smaller one under my title. Together

they create a wonderful focus on the centre of my layout. Beautiful papers

by Uniquely Creative in shades of Violet and Lavender.

2Crafty Chipboard used…

Foliage set 18

Avery Vines

Mini Lattice Bits

Juliet’s Hearts

Pointed Doilies x2

After the usual coat of Gesso on all the chipboard choices. I opted for a

 soft palette on the Foliage and Avery Vines as you can see above. Distress

 Oxide in Shaded Lilac and Bundled Sage brushed on and a spritz of water

 brought out the Oxide finish. I lightened the Lilac with a little Picket Fence. 

I cut the Avery Vines up to give me multiple pieces to tuck in showing

 those beautiful details.

Juliet's Heart had Wilted Violet brushed on and then dabbed off the

excess for a softer look. I love the design of this heart with its curls.

To add a little texture I tucked some of the Lattice Bits around the

layout after adding a combination of Shaded Lilac and Dusty Concord.

A little Tattered Rose Oxide on the Pointed Doilies broke up the

shades of Purple and framed my photos beautifully. I used two sets of

the Doilies to do this. Applying some paper to the centre of the small

Doily I used it to become a focus for my title with ephemera placed

under it.

 

Thank you for stopping by the 2Crafty Chipboard blog today. I hope

you have found some inspiration for your creative journey.

Until next time...

"Sweet Moment" Layout by Marie Sabatier

 Hello everyone,

I’m so happy to be back today sharing my first layout for the month of May, a soft and whimsical page featuring a photo of my granddaughter. I chose to work with the beautiful "The Looking Glass" collection, whose gentle tones and delicate illustrations were perfect for the atmosphere I wanted to create.

"Sweet Moment"

The chipboard used:

Sweet Moment

frame-doilies

Bohohanger

I created my design around the photo using the beautiful "Doily Frames" chipboard piece, which softly frames the photo while adding detail and texture to the page. I then layered several elements from the collection to build a charming little scene full of softness and magic.

In the upper left corner, I used the "Boho Hanger" chipboard piece. To customize it, I applied the 49 and Market inks Fossil, Rainforest, and Green Jeans, layering them softly to create depth and beautiful color variation. I intentionally did not apply gesso first so I could preserve all the delicate details of the chipboard. A light mist of water then helped blend the shades together for a more natural finish.

The "Sweet Moment" title finishes the page beautifully and perfectly highlights the tenderness of this photo. I colored it with Lavender Kisses ink, whose soft shade coordinated perfectly with the gentle mood of the layout. It is layered over a Doily chipboard piece in the background, adding depth and softly framing the design. A few subtle splatters complete the composition with a light finishing touch.

Thank you so much for visiting today. 

I hope this layout inspires you, and I’ll be back soon with another new project.

"A Moment Captured"Mixed Media Layout 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 mixed media layout to share with you

& hopefully inspire you too.

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

Circle Dot Frame

"A Moment Captured"-title

Corner Ivy

ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars

After firstly creating a little mixed media background with stencils,

sprays, mesh & stamps as well as a little work along the top & bottom

 edges of the page by distressing & using a border punch in a slightly

different way than normal. Then I could set about altering & customising

the chipboard to create a lovely "monochromatic" theme. Thats the beauty

of chipboard, you can alter it anyway you like. Just sooo easy.

I used a piece of the "Circle Dot Frame" to help draw the eye into my photo &

I used a piece of this gorgeous "Corner Ivy" in a slightly different way than you

would normally.

All the chipboard pieces were simply given a couple of coats of white gesso
followed by a light spray with some lovey "jacarandah blue" spray to tie it all
into the background colour. A light sprinkling of glass micro beads in the
same colour were also added for some added texture.

I have used this awesome little chipboard title,

"A Moment Captured" which was treated with the same

colours & the same process too.

Lastly I have added a sprinkling of the tiny hearts around the
page which I also treated also in the same way too.

Well thats all I have for you today. I hope you like it
& perhaps got a little inspiration too>

Until next time......
