'Adore' layout by Hetty Hall

Hi there and welcome to the 2Crafty blog,

 Hetty with you today!

'Adore'

Today I would like to share with you this layout using a number of awesome
 2Crafty Chipboard 
 I also included some progress photos, but first some close ups and product information.

2Crafty Chipboard Products:

- Amelia Flower - Small

- Amelia Flower - Large

- Beaded Hanging Hearts

-Mini Word Set 2

- Decorative Rod Set

Papers, flowers and Laser Cuts are from 49 and Market.

As per usual I used lots of layers, I love the dimension it creates.

I used a really fun technique on the 'Amelia Flower' chippie which I will explain below.

Close up of the finished effect on the chipboard.

Below is a photo tutorial of how my page came together.

So I started off with adding some cheese cloth to my background paper and
 gluing it down in random places scrunching it up as I went.

Next I added two coats of heavy white gesso to my chipboard,
 drying it off with the heat gun.

Once dry I added three different opal magic colours in
 random areas using the dry brush technique.

I then dried the paint with my heat gun which made it bubble

 and melt to create this awesome texture.

Next I added both chipboard pieces to my layout on top of some layered photo matts. 

The papers are layered with pieces of cardboard to create dimension.

I used some copper embossing powder on the 'Decorative Rod' and 

white on the sentiment and 'Beaded hanging Heart'

Finishing it off by adding all my other elements like flowers 

and laser cuts, some art stones and prills.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Until next time.....

Hugs

Discover - VIDEO TUTORIAL and Layout By Emma Zappone

Hello all you awesome 2Crafty people!! 

Today I have a video share to show you. But first my layout....

I just fell in love with this image, it’s one I found on Pinterest. 

And these are chipboard pieces I used for this layout...

And I thought how perfect the dandelion chippy was for this page. 

Lots of soft colours used on my base and then used the same colours
 on my chippy which I also embossed on the dandelions. 

The mini branches I left with only the ink painted on them. 

You can see how I do all this in my video. 

The ‘discover’ title I coated in black ink so that it sort of became a part of the photo. 

You can see it all come together here....

Thanks so much for watching, and I look forward to seeing you all next month. 

Till then, Em xx

April Layouts Created by Rachael Funnell

Hello 2 Crafty fans!

Rach with you sharing some more April Inspiration....

My first layout featuring my gorgeous girl.

'Timeless Beauty'

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

Brick Panel

Thistle shrub

Indian feathers

Tiny feathers

Timeless Beauty title

Inspired by my girls dress, I went with the soft pastel colours, 

I have heat embossed both Timeless Beauty title with a pale pink and Thistle shrub a teal......

I have left the Brick Panel raw & cut it in half and placed half at the top and other
half at the bottom of the photo, just to  bring a little more attention to the photo.....

I have used a couple of the Indian feathers & Tiny feathers.....

 First applying white gesso to the both Indian feathers & Tiny feathers, then
 inking them ever so lightly with purple or pink...

 I scattered them thoughout my page to finish it off nicely... 😊

#Joy

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

2017

Funky Heart swirls

Lacy border

 Leafy Corner

#Mini word set 2

YOU word from Card Set 2

With such strong colours I still wanted the chipboard pieces to stand out, 

so I have added couple of coats of white gesso to #mini word JOY.

I did the same to the  Funky Heart swirls,  Leafy Corner & 2017

The Lacy border strip I have inked with black & the tiny word YOU sitting on
 the photo, has been heat embossed with a Navy Blue....

That's it for me this month....

Thanks for stopping by...... I hope you liked what you see and where inspired in someway....

till next time
