Hi there chippy fans,
Tam here today, I've popped in to share my latest layout titled:
"Hello beautiful Hahndorf"
For those who follow my work, you know I am all about COLOUR, and usually the brighter the better! Today I wanted to challenge myself and add some softer tones.
I spent a recent weekend in the Adelaide Hills in a gorgeous town called Hahndorf. It's quaint and authentic and we were lucky enough to visit as the leaves had begun to turn.
I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:
'Hello beautiful title'
'Autumn leaves'
'6" revolution frame'
'Amelia flower stems large'
'Amelia flower stems small'
I painted the 'Amelia flower stems large' and the 'Amelia flower stems small' with white gesso and then added white acrylic paint.
I wanted them to be really fresh and white.
I then added them in underneath the cluster of flowers.
To finish them off, I added a touch of doodling to them using a black gel pen.
I repeated this process for the '6" revolution frame' to get it a vivid white.
I didn't add any doodling to this, I just used it as a frame around the photos.
I also completed the above process on the 'Autumn Leaves', however to finish them off, I stamped with a script stamp over the top.
I absolutely love how this looks!
Soft and yet textured and interesting.
I added these leaves to the flower cluster and also placed them on the layout so they looked like they were falling.
I did this to emphasise the Autumn feel.
As this page is soft and contains pastel tones, I wanted my title to be soft and yet still be a focal point of the layout.
I coated it in white gesso and then added some watercolours to the words.
I love how the watercolours have dried with an ombre effect.
I also love that the different fonts are in different colours.
I love that about 2Crafty chippy titles.
There you have it.
I'll pop back again a bit later in the month with more inspiration.
Until then you can see my on my blog.
Lots of creative love
