August Inspiration - Two Layouts
PLUS TWO VIDEO TUTORIALS
By Mary Catt

''Adore''

Hello 2Crafty fans! 
It's Mary here with you today and I have two layouts with video tutorials to share with you.
Both layouts are made with 7dots Studio papers and lots of flowers along with some of my favorite chipboards. I choose to work with some earth tone sprays and powders from Lindy's Stamp Gang.

I have also made a VIDEO TUTORIAL with the procedure.

 2Crafty Chipboards used...
 Lattice Leaves
Leafy Shrub Set 1
Fine Word Set 1




Here are some close ups...


 I made a mixed media background by applying modeling paste with a stencil, stamping and adding color with the ''Dark Chocolate Truffle'' and the ''South Shore Sand'' Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays.

 
I heat embossed the ''Leafy Shrub Set 1'' with the ''Bratwurst Brown'' and the
 ''Lattice Leaves'' with the ''Midnight Bronze'' Lindy's embossing powders.


The ''Adore'' title from the ''Fine Word Set 1'' was also heat embossed
with the ''Golden Angel Wings'' powder.


After everything was glued down, I added some Plum glass beads &
bronze micro beads and my layout was ready.


''Treasure''

My second layout has a vintage touch with a romantic feeling.

August Layouts by Kavitha


Hello 2 crafty fans,

Kavitha with you here today to share my August projects.


"Butterfly Kisses"

My first layout is soft and shabby in garden theme. All my
chipboard pieces are heat embossed with color embossing powders
and I dry brushed a little white gesso over themfor shabby look.
The "Ornate screen" makes  the perfect backdrop for the sweet little angel


I added some "mini branches" among the flower cluster.
Also added some sweet little "Sharon butterflies".
I also added some "Grid bits" in between the layers to add some interest and texture


2Crafty chipboards used:
Ornate screen
Grid  bits
Sharon butterflies
Mini branches



"Always Follow Your Dreams"

I loved the rustic look of this paper and  the picture from 
pinterest, so I maintained the same throughout  the layout.
My whole composition is made only using chipboard pieces
(and i am loving it!!) and few fussy cut flowers.


All my chipboard pieces are heat embossed first with copper and gold embossing
powders and then partially with color embossing powders and  finally
rubbed some white gold wax to give rustic look to it.


I finally added some vellum flowers and butterflies to lighten things up.
The title is left bare to go with the background color


2Crafty Chipboards used:
6" circle dots frames
Mini flourish bits
Always follow your dreams
Climbing rose bush


Thank you for stopping by.

August Inspiration + PHOTO TUTORIAL with Noura Pompilla


Hello 2crafty friends !!

Noura here today to share  two projects with you for August. The first is a page
 in a shabby and sweet style and I  have a photo tutorial, hope you like it


"Precious Girl"

Step 1: Use Monochromes shades of sofiero de Maja design as a base and for the background use lindy's gang sprays, cotton candy pink and cockbells coral,  a touch of gelato and randomly spread out some stamps.

Step 2: I chose Circle dot frame for the frame of my photo but also I first applied  white crakle paste but since it didn't combine the way I wanted it to with the color, I painted it in a cream color


Step3: Afterwards I took some Mini Flourish Bits and the Leafy Shrub set 2 for my project,
 I love them because they're so beautiful and perfect when it comes to flowers , I painted
them both with cattail copper brown from Lindy's and I added 3d gloss gel and micro
beads to give it some extra texture.


Step4: I took the word Precious from the Fine word set 2,  I've fallen in love with this set of words because they're very thin and delicate but also elegant at the same time, you can use them when you don't have a lot of space to put a big title, but also they're flexible and resistant  and you can tell because at the end  I put them in a circular fashion over my layout and I painted them with inka gold but since I wasn't too fond of the result and since I actually wanted more brightness, I added gold foil

Step5:  I organized all the elements on my page and I decided to put more green micro beads on top of the Mini Flourish bits and the Leafy Shrub set 2


Some details


As you can see the micro beads give an extra texture to
 Leafy Shrub set 2 and  to Mini Flourish bits.


 Fine word set 2 , the word precious in a  gold foil

-Fine word set 2
-Mini Flourish bits
-Circle Dot Frames
-Leafy Shrub set 2


I have based my page from Fabrika Decoru and Maja Design Challenge:



*******

Canvas"Timeless"

For this canvas I was inspired by one of my favorite songs form Indila's Love Story,
 She's a French-Algerian singer who evokes from me a kind of retro vintage feeling.

Some details...


I took Clock Face frames, the biggest one, and I put it around the photo, I painted it with
black gesso and a touch of inka gold and Cattail Copper Brown and again I used the  
Fine word set 2 for the title, I love putting titles vertically, and then I painted it in a cream color.


Finally I decorated some of the sides with a Grid panel to which I applied some white
 embossing powder so that it would stand out over the fuchsia and purple colors in the background.

2Crafty Chipboard used:
-Grid Panel
-6¨ Skeleton Clock Frames
-Fine word set 2


I made this canvas for Lindy's and More than Words Challenge



That's it from me today until next month.
Thanks for stopping by !
