Hi there everyone!
Tam back again to share another layout with lots of yummy NEW 2Crafty Chipboard!
This one is titled:
'Shine'
It's a layout celebrating my amazing daughter and her recent volunteer trip to Cambodia, where she was involved in building a house for a family and also educating and teaching English at the School.
Definitely life changing, definitely inspiring, definitely proud!
Definitely needed to be documented!
I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:
'Fern Leaf Set' *NEW*
'Fine and Fancy Butterfly Set' *NEW*
'Fine Word Set 2'
'Mini Squiggly Bits' *NEW*
'Polaroid Assorted Frames'
I began by painting one of the frames from the
'Polaroid Assorted Frame Set' in white acrylic paint.
I then added some random stamping with black ink.
I used the frame to highlight a photo, and then added some embellishments to the side.
This really draws the eye into that particular area, making it the focal point.
I also painted the 'Mini Squiggly Bits' in white paint.
I poked these around the layers of the layout, so they are peeking out.
The white contrasts really well with the black background.
I added the word 'Shine' from the 'Fine Word Set 2' to the strip of photos.
These fine words are perfect for adding to the tops of your layers and photos -
they are fine and so don't cover up too much.

I simply added black paint to this. It's really all that was needed.
I also painted the 'Fern Leaf Set' black, and once dry I randomly swiped
Opal Magic in Aqua/Rose over the top.

I really love this effect and it suits the layout perfectly.
In the bottom left hand corner, you can see I've created a smaller cluster.
To this I added a NEW 'Fine and Fancy Butterfly'.
These are gorgeous, and there's three in a pack, I only used one so I have some
leftover for another creation!

I simply applied some Archival Ink in 'Garden Patina'.
There you have it!
That's it from me today, I look forward to inspiring you again next month.
