"You" Layout with Amy Voorthuis

Hello and good morning lovely 2Crafty friend.
How wonderful of you all to stop by the 2Crafty blog, this is my second layout for the month of July. This time it's a layout of my husband who started his own company this may. After two of his former employments went bankrupt he had enough. His last job was fixing electric bikes for the company STELLA. Now he does the same but for himself his company's name is JEBT, Vanessa the boss lady was kind enough to make his bike logo in chipboard which I used on this layout.
 Enjoy this post....

"enjoy EVERY moment" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I present you my second inspiration of this month of April.

A vintage layout inspired by a photo of a "Monster Truck" car show.

I selected chipboard elements such as gears to represent the robust mechanics of the vehicles and this chipboard that mimics a metal chain to add an industrial touch to the composition. The color palette includes earthy and metallic tones to enhance the retro vibe and recall the bold spirit of monster trucks.

"enjoy EVERY moment"

The chipboard used:

enjoy-every-moment-title

aged-film-strip-set

asst-chain-lengths

steampunk-gears-medium

I don't use gesso.

I apply "antique linen" Distress ink on the "chain-lenghts" chipboard by rubbing it randomly. 

My goal is to achieve an aged effect, reminiscent of an antique chain.

I proceed in the same way for the "aged-film-strip-set" chipboard by applying an additional color "spawn burlap". Then I add printed paper to bring contrast and fantasy to the whole.

Below my photo, I add some steampunk chipboard panels decorated in various colors. Next, I move on to adding the title "enjoy EVERY Moment." I start by applying Distress "faded jeans" ink to the letters of the title, creating a beautiful faded blue shade. To give the text more depth and shine, I then use embossing powder applied with a Distress embossing pen. I heat the powder with a heat gun until it melts, forming a vibrant raised pattern that catches the eye.

I hope this layout inspires you. I enjoyed creating it.

Happy creativity!

Marie

        

"Handsome Little Man" By Amy Voorthuis

 Goodmorning lovely 2Crafty friends, 

Today is my turn to show you some inspiration on this wonderful blog. 
For this occasion I made a layout with some beautiful 2crafty chippies
and the "Hello Pumpkin" collection which is a autumn like collection.
I used two pictures {sometimes that is very challenging} of sweet AJ,
 the son of late Hannah {the daughter of my cousin who died two years back}
at a pumpkin patch as a baby. 

You know what's amazing, you can order directly from the
2Crafty website here so you can also play with their amazing chipboard pieces. 

Handsome Little Man

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Handsome Lil Man
Chain Lengths
Mini Title Stick Set 5
Frame Chained Circles 
Steampunk Chain Rectangle Frame
Industrial Light Bulbs 

I left most of the pretty chipboard pieces just like they are I only added
 a little wax. The Steampunk Chain Rectangle Frame was treated with some
rust effect paste and some acrylic paints.

 The title I treated with white gesso to later on add some gold embossing powder,
 well not the whole title. I also cut the rectangle frame in two pieces
 to fit my layout & picture. 

Thank you so much for your visit today and if you would like

I started with my background, I added a couple of the Giant gears 

to the base of my page covered these with a layer of gesso, 

then added some stenciling, then added another Giant gear this time leaving it raw...

Next  inked some of the small gears with black and added these.

I then had a few bits of both of the 12" Assortment Chain border & 12" Chian Lengths

left over in my stash & so I inked these randomly with a light blue....

 Also! randomly inking with the same light blue the 2019 ...

For the Tiny Stars I added 2 coats of gesso

 and lastly 6x4 Phrase stick set 5 'Treasure This Moment

Inking this black to finish off my page...
