'Moment'

Hello 2Crafty friends!

I found this cute photo on pinterest and decided to create a small canvas this time.

Even though project is small, I managed to use 7 chipboard pieces in there :)

Before we start...

I used different media to alter the chipboard pieces.

The word 'Moment' is painted with black and white gesso.

I also used white gesso to paint the Medallion Flower . 

For the tiny Hearts I used H2Os Twinkling Watercolor in red shade, 

because I wanted to achieve a shiny and juicy look. 

I also used a small  paintbrush with white gesso to highlight them.

I altered the Leaves and the Polaroid Frame with green and brown shades of
Primary Elements in order to give them a natural look. 

I just spread some powder over all colors here and there
 with a dry paintbrush and sprayed some water.

2Crafty Chipboards Used:

Polaroid Assortment Frames, Flower Medallions, ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars, 

Moment Loopy Font, Leafy Silhouettes, Wildflower Set

           

' Colorful ATCs'

I love making small art pieces and ATCs, they are always a perfect choice.

Even though they measure only  2¹⁄₂ by 3¹⁄₂ inches, they provide sufficient space
 for many small embellishments,  believe me :)

And what would be most appropriate than chipboard pieces to use on them!

It was really a fun and quick project and I really enjoyed the process.

First I created a mixed media background with Primary Elements and let it dry.

In the meantime I fussy cut the Circular Panel and Painted it with brown
 acrylic paint and a little bit of blue. I stuch them together using staples.

Last thing to do was to glue the word stickers and the tiny Stars and Hearts.

 I decided to leave those two little fellows natural - I don't know why, I just liked
 the way they looked on there as they were, with no paint at all :)

'Always follow your Dreams'

For my second layout I have used these 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces....

I started off by giving all pieces a good coat of gesso....

Then inked the Vintage Hot Air Balloon black...

I gave a good coat of gesso, to the the Always follow your Dreams title
 which also ended up getting a bit of orange splattering..

A coat of gesso on this Polaroid Frame & then I inked the edges in black.

With a coat of gesso I have cut up & used the  negative/leftover piecesof the 

 Chevron Bits The negative/leftover pieces are a GREAT way to add an another

 layer & texture to your page, dont' you think ?

With the actual Chevron Bits I have inked purple black & teal..
