Hi everyone!
I am so excited to be joining this team of talented crafters! I am Laura Gilhuly!
I am from a small town in Southwestern Ontario, Canada where I live with my awesome
husband Jon (this year we will have been married for 25 years) and together we have
2 wonderful sons - Cody & Tyler and two fur babies Lydia and Axle.
I have been scrapbooking for a while and I love to try new things,
learn and be inspired. I hope to inspire you to create some wonderful projects
with the awesome 2Crafty Chipboard!
My First Project: "A Bunch of Merry Elves"
To begin I used gesso on all the 2Crafty chipboard pieces.
I tucked one of the" engraved baubles" on the right hand side.
I used the "Circle Dot Frame" under the photo and one
of the "Christmas Coins" in the corner.
of the "Christmas Coins" in the corner.
I wanted the chipboard to match the antique rustic feel of the papers so I used
two different mists - Dylusions postbox red and Lindy's greased lightnin' green.
I then rubbed all three pieces with a touch of vintage gold paint with my finger
to highlight all the beautiful engraving. I wanted to add a bit more gold so I
randomly added some spots using an embossing pad then added some gold
embossing powder and heat set.
I painted the title with gold paint - Lumiere True Gold - then heat embossed
with the same gold embossing powder I used on the other chipboard pieces.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
