"Beautiful Life" layout by Moira Gilowey

Hello again creative friends.

I am so happy to share my new layouts 

with you all and this one has a few of the 

beautiful chipboards available from 2Crafty.

Chipboards which I used on this 

layout include

~ the corner heart spray,

~ zipper frames, and

~ mini hot air balloons.

I altered all chipboards on my layout by 

painting them with a bronze metallic paint.  

I then added a small amount of gold embossing 

powder to the hearts in the spray as well as 

the hot air balloons and then heat set 

the powder with my heat gun.

I then brushed the edges of the chipboards 

lightly with white gesso.

I added the chipboards, rub-ons, papers 

and ephemera to frame my photograph.

I added stenciling along the edges 

of my layout, adding gold embossing powder 

to the product while it was still wet 

and then heat set the powder 

with my heat gun.

I hope that this layout has inspired you

in some way.

Thanks for stopping by!
