September Post by Annie Carignan

"Adore You Today"

Hello again everyone!  How time flies !! September is almost over can you believe it?  Here in Quebec,  Fall is such a beautiful season with the trees changing colours,  colder weather, apple picking, Fall and Halloween decorations everywhere, I love it!! This month, I am presenting to you three  really different projects.  Here is the first one  with  my son in an apple tree. 

On the two words, I also used Gesso and a colour spray.  

When all was dry, I used a stamp  to create texture.

On the apples, I started with a coat of Gesso, then I used different  colours of
 Gelatos to recreate real apples & again finished off with some stamping.

2 Crafty products  used were :

Adore You [wordadoreyou]

Today - Loopy Font[wordtodayloo]

"Cherish"

For the doily border and the word Cherish, I simply applied a gold spray with a paintbrush.

On the Ornate Buckles and on the word Forever, I used my watersoluble ink pencils
 directly on the chipboard to create a "jeans" effect.

Forever - Loopy Font 

[word foreverl]

All chipboards were first coated with Gesso.  I used Gelatos for all of them and with 
markers for some shading.  On the hearts and the feather I used a stamp to create 
texture.  On the word Forever, I sprayed some black and put Glossy Accents for a shiny finish.

I hope you will be inspired and create beautiful things!   Chipboards are so fun to work with and the possibilities are endless!     And remember, to find a 2Crafty stockist near you, drop an email to...
