2020

ATC -  butterflies

Starting off with the title

 'Because when you STOP AND LOOK AROUND this life is pretty amazing'.

Keeping it quite simple and gave it 2 coats of gesso...

The 2020 I have sitting just underneath the title
I have inked this with a pastel pink and
finishing it with a light random dabbing of gesso...

I just adore the Large tribe arrows and couldn't resist adding one to this layout...

Also inking the arrow with the same pastel pink colour..

Next applying two coats of gesso to the

 feathers and to the Azter Feather finishing it off 

with a light dabbing of gesso over the pink....

Same thing to the Mini camera inking it with a teal,
lightly dabbing it rambomly with gesso & adhering
this to the left side of  Large tribe arrow

Lastly the SUPER Cute ATC -  butterflies
I have scattered thoughout my page 
Have been inked these with a sliver....


Thank you for stopping by
I hope I have inpsired you in someway
Until next time!

Timeless - Emma's First June share

Hello all you amazing 2Crafty fans, 

Emma here today sharing a layout inspired by a gorgeous image I found on
 Pinterest and of course the amazing inspiration the Chipboard gives me.

I chose pieces that I really wanted to compliment the photo. 

These are those pieces...

My title chippy I coated in ink and then painted it with 
Prima Art Alchemy in unicorn dreams. Ah-ma-zing!! 

How gorgeous is this butterfly!!! 

I decided to emboss this butterfly in black to shimmer but blend in with the page. 

Then my decorative frame I used half around the photo that I painted and the branch 
I embossed this in a antique moss green. 

Thanks so much for joining me today. 

I look forward to seeing you all towards the end of the month with another creation. 

Till then, Em xx

'Dream Big'

For my 2nd layout..
& these are the 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I've used...

Gave few thick coats of gesso to my title Dream BIG, once dried added a 
few tones of blue ink to the BIG.....

Gave the same gesso treatment to these Vintage Hot Air Balloons, inked one with a
 mid blue, the other with a teal & finished these off very lightly rubbing over &
around the edge with black ink....

Incorporated some Fencing wire panel by inking it with sliver ink & 
cut it into smaller pieces & placed them throughout my page...

As I didn't want to loose any of the detail/character to the Arrow heart, I gave it a
ever so lightly layer of ink & attached  a 2016 which I inked lightly with  royal blue ink.....

I also added a few raw dots which I got from the centers 
2 Crafty chipboard - Dotty bits
