Love You by Tania Ridgwell

 Hello there! 

Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for February. 
  I have created a layout for my second share.

"Love ❤️ You"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Love You

*Feather Outline Set

*12 x 12 Weathered Clock Face Frames

*Oversized Flower Stem Set 1

*6x4 Phrase Stick Set 4

I have used the beautiful Uniquely Creative 'Whisper's of Wisdom' Collection to create the base for my Layout.

I coloured the medium sized Weathered Clock Face Frame & Oversized Flower Stem chippies with Lilac Rose Opal Polish and once dry I randomly dabbed on some gesso to tone done the colour.  The Feather Outline, Love You & Love You Long Time (from 6x4 Phrase Stick Set 4) Title chippies have been painted with a couple of coats of gesso.

I placed the Weathered Clock Face Frame chippie and my photo on my background page first.  I then added the Oversized Flower Stem & Feather Outline chippies along the bottom of my photo.  I embellished my page with lots of paper blooms and coordinating creative cuts.  I added the Love You chippie Title along the bottom and the Love You Long Time chippie across the top right.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout.  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

"Love" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Today I’m sharing a new layout created in a soft and romantic atmosphere, perfect for celebrating Valentine’s Day!

The photos featured are of my son and daughter-in-law, taken almost two years ago. I chose these images for their softness and emotion, perfectly matching the Valentine’s theme and celebration of love.

"Love"

The chipboard used:

photo-adornments-love-flourish

6x4-phrase-stick-set-4

foliage-set-10

sharons-butterflies

mini-lattice-bits

    

For this project, I wanted to highlight the chipboards by giving them an elegant and subtle finish without too much shine. I first applied a thin coat of white gesso to all the chipboards to unify the surface and soften the texture. The “Love Flourish” piece was enhanced with metallic wax in Old Silver, applied lightly with my finger over the raised areas to create a luminous, textured yet refined effect.

The “Mini Lattice Bits” and the phrase from the “6x4 Phrase Stick Set 4” help structure the composition and reinforce the romantic message of the page.

The “Sharon’s Butterflies” were enhanced with a very delicate application of White Gold, applied only on the raised areas. This subtle touch allows them to softly catch the light without creating excessive shine, preserving the gentle feel of the layout.

The foliage from “Foliage Set 10” was initially colored with Lucky Emerald, adding a subtle natural touch to the composition. To soften the intensity of the green and maintain a delicate harmony throughout the layout, I layered a light touch of Old Silver over the raised details. This technique tones down the green while adding a refined finish.

For the papers, I selected soft neutral tones blending off-white, gentle greys, and touches of sage green. The floral patterns and slightly distressed textures enhance the timeless and elegant atmosphere.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

        

"love you long time" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Here's my second inspiration for July.

A nature-themed layout using this lovely "woodland set" chipboard.

"love you long time"

The chipboard used:

6x4-phrase-stick-set-4

diamond-chunk-bits

woodland-set

ivy-clusters

     

Surprisingly, I don't apply gesso to the chipboards!

And, I start my layout from the bottom up.

To decorate each chipboard, I use Distress Oxide inks. For the "woodland set" chipboard, I apply several shades of brown to achieve a harmonious finish. 

I then add a "stain" pattern using a stamp to add an extra touch of texture.

To add more texture to my arrangement, I added the "Diamond Chunks" chipboard using the "Worn Lipstick" shade. I started by applying a thin layer of white gesso, then proceeded to apply the color evenly.

I used the "rustic wilderness" and "mode lawn" shades to decorate the "ivi clusters" chipboards. It had been a while since I had used them. With a few strawberry embellishments, they fit in with the decor.

I cut out the "love you long time" chipboard, decorate it, then place it in a staggered pattern.

I am happy with the result and I hope you like it and find it inspiring.

Marie
