"Seeing the World" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I am delighted to have the opportunity to present my third project for July.

I propose a layout on the theme of travel using this beautiful title "Seeing the WORLD".

I love this picture where my grandniece points her finger at the sky through the porthole.

"Seeing the WORLD"

The chipboard used:

- See the World Title

- 12 x 12 Stacked Filmstrips

- 12 x 12 Weathered Clock Face Frames

This is the first time I use this chipboard "Stacked Filmstrips".

In order to get a vintage effect, I prefer not to use white gesso and directly apply the ink 

"Distress Oxide". I opted for the shades "rustic wilderness", "spiced marmalade" and "fade jeans".

For this presentation, I place it horizontally. 

Its grandeur and originality make it a magnificent support.

Above I use the chipboard "Weathered Clock Face".

To contrast with the colors of the 'Filmstrip', I opt for the matte wax 'Rusty Brown' then I rub it with the metallic wax 'Firebird'. The shine and the small orange tip bring a touch of sparkle, 

just like the butterfly of my paper.

To improve the clarity of my layout, I chose to embellish the title with clear ink. 

I really enjoyed making this layout. I hope it will make you want to create.

Thank you for visiting 2Crafty!

"Enjoy the Journey" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

For my second inspiration this May, I made a layout using a photo 

of my grandson taken on the occasion of the school party. 

I opted for this beautiful paper that will accentuate the chipboards even more. 

"Enjoy the Journey"

The chipboards used:

- Enjoy the Journey

- 12X12 Weathered Clock Face Frames

- Textured Tile Bits

- Squiggly Circle Arrow Journal Spots

Sometimes it is complicated to select colors to embellish the chipboards, 

but for this arrangement, I opted for the black color without hesitation.

I used Oxide Distress inks.

I chose an imposing size for the chipboard "Weathered Clock Face Frames". 

I tinted it with the color "black soot".

For the title, I needed a flashy color. I mixed "spiced marmalade" and "mustard seed". 

In the latest news, there are these superb "Textured Tile Bits". 

It reminds me of an 'electronic circuit'. I like it.

With the black, I added a touch of green "peeled paint". 

To frame this pretty pendulum pattern, I use the chipboard "Squiggly Circle Arrow Journal Spots"

They are a perfect match!

I hope you enjoy this page as much as I enjoyed creating it. 

If your vendor does not have the chipboards, do not worry, 

they are available directly on the site.

Thank you very much for your visit.

Togetherness my favourite time - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!

Laura here today to share my first April project!

2 Crafty products used:

Cartias swirl

12x12 Weathered Clock Face Frames

Togetherness my favourite time

Flourish 2

I trimmed the 12x12 weathered clock face frames so they ended at the side of the page then added texture paste and allowed to dry.  Once dry I painted them a dark brown, dried and dry brushed some white paint to accent the texture I applied earlier

I also applied the texture paste to the Cartia's Swirl and Flourish 2.  I then inked with uncharted marine distress ink and added white paint (which seems like blue because I used distress ink)  

I wanted the title to stand out from the other images so I painted it white and layered it above a few die cut images.

Thanks for stopping by
