''Amazing Beauty''

Hello 2Crafty fans!!

Mary here with you all today to share my November inspiration. 

This time, I made a layout and an altered notebook cover with two video tutorials.

My first project is a layout which was made with lots of flowers combined
with some beautiful chipboard pieces.

I have also made a VIDEO TUTORIAL with the procedure.

2Crafty Chipboards used...

Flourish 2
Autumn Leaves
Mini Word Set 1

Here are some close ups...

 First, I made a mixed media background with modeling paste and a stencil and made
 some random stamping. Then, I added color with the ''Bayou Boogie Gold'', the
''Golden Doubloons'' and the ''Whale Watch Blue'' Lindy's Gang sprays.

While waiting everything to dry, I heat embossed the ''Autumn Leaves'' and the title word ''Amazing'' from the ''Mini Word Set 1'' with the ''Bratwurst Brown'' Lindy's embossing powder.

 The ''Flourish 2'' chipboard and the word title ''Beauty'' from the ''Mini Word Set 1'' 
 were also embossed with the ''Cosmic Blue Violet'' powder.

 Finally, I added some copper micro beads and glass glitter and made
 some splatters with white acrylic artist ink.

''Altered Notebook Cover''

My second project is an altered notebook cover created with lots of chipboards
 along with some metal embellishments, art pebbles and art stones.


You can see the procedure on my VIDEO...

Moroccan Panel
Steampunk Gears Small
Steampunk Gears Medium

And a closer look at the details...

I started by applying a coat of black gesso on my cover. Then, I created texture with
graphite texture paste and a stencil. When dried, I applied a second layer of black gesso.

The next step was to cover all the chipboards and embellishments with black gesso.
When they dried, I glued everything down.

And then was the fun part... painting the cluster with sparks acrylic paints. I used the
 Raven Black, the Unicorn's Hair, the Dragon's Eye & the Magical Pond paints.

 

Well, that was all for today...

 

I hope I gave you some inspiration!

November inspiration

"Adorable" - Layout

I love the flourish/swirly designs from 2crafy ,today

I have combined some frames and swirls to compose a elegant design.

I used Lucy's flourish frame and Celia's flourish to frame the

picture which is heat embossed with glitter mint embossing powder.

Around the frame I used Celebration swirls which is heat embossed 

with sassy sapphire embossing powder.

I finished off the layout with the title "Adorable" which perfectly suited the little girl.

It is heat embossed thrice with white embossing powder.

"Forest Fairy" - Canvas

I created this canvas in forest theme,after creating the mixed media

background I used some real tree barks and green moss

to create the composition.

 All my chipboard pieces are concentrated in the center of the canvas,

for the first layer I used cut up pieces of Viney page frame which 

are painted with light and dark green acrylic paints.

 For the second layer I heat embossed a 6" clock face with black embossing

powder and rubbed some silver wax over it.

 For the last layer I used corner Lorena & I just left it raw for contrast.

November Inspiration By Noura Pompilla

Hello 2crafty Fans !!!

Noura here today  and we're getting close to the end of the year and it feels like it's gone
 by really fast. This is my first project for the month. They are new holiday cards inspired
 by one of the challenges and they are also they're great for sharing, trading, and
 giving away to friends, I hope you and my friends like them.

Festive Cards

I took two Decorative disc set 1 and I painted one of them inka gold
and the other with a mix of gold embossing powder and inka gold.

I used some stars from ATC Mini stars and hearts and I painted them in a gold acrylic color.

 and I left them in their natural raw color.

Layout"Magic"

For my second project I made this page inspired by the pallet of colors of the challenge of November from Lindys Gang Challenge. In these last few months I've had a lot of nostalgia for animes that I used to watch when I was a child, I love animes because it's a world of fantasy and magic.

For the frame of my photo I used Pointed doily frames that I painted with inka gold
 (colbat color) and I stamped it with tiny dots.

For my background I used Fancing wire panel which I painted in black gesso

 and I used  some touches of  Bayou boogie gold from Lindys.

To decorate some parts I embossed Gears Steampunk -Small with 

King Midas gold embossing powder from Lindys.

My title from Crishtmas Mini word set 1  was painted in Inka gold.
