Choose to Shine by Emma Zappone

Hi everyone,
I can not believe that 2022 is just around the corner. How fast time goes!
But before it does come, today I share this layout using more awesome chippy.

Chipboard used.....

Flourish Adornment set 4
Anika Frame
Lattice Leaf Set

A soft layout calls for soft chipboard. The Anika frame was the perfect frame for this image and it's layers. All the chipboard pieces were primed with black gesso. And then had wax finishes.

The frame had 3 different waxes layered on it to bring out the soft tones in the flowers of the image.
As for the lattice leaves, I chose to leave them black. These were a striking difference from the coloured foliage and background.

This stunning flourish had a wax finish also. Again it added a little shine that complimented the colours in this composition.

I love these chipboard pieces together and how they are layered in amongst the paper layers. I also love how well they work with resin pieces. Chipboard that is so versatile, for every project.

I hope you have been able to take advantage of the holidays and have got your craft on. 
I also hope you have a safe and happy New Year and I will see you all soon in 2022.

Stay safe and crafty, Em xx

 

April Inspiration by Lilibleu

Hello 2Crafty fans!

This is Lilibleu here today, giving you my April projects.

This month, I created a set of 2 pages on a similar theme to create a decoration for my wall. I chose two lovely pictures of children to realize these projects, which happen to be shabby and mixed media at the same time.

"Enjoy The Journey"

This first page is made with warm colors: green, orange and gold.

The title "Enjoy The Journey" is embossed with black powder. 

Butterflies "Addy's Butterflies" are embossed with gold powder.

The "Leafy Shrub Set 1" foliage is simply painted green. The beautiful frame 

"Frame Bec's" has the perfect size to surround my photo and I embossed it with gold powder.

- Leafy Shrub Set 1

- Curly Panel 

"Magical Memories"

For this second project, I used the same theme and kept the same spirit as for my first project, in order to create a set. But for this one, I rather used cold colors like turquoise blue and purple.

The "Doilies" chipboard is embossed with purple powder.

I kept the natural color of the foliage "Foliage Set 1", I already find them beautiful just as they are!!

The big round "Anika frame" that surrounds my photo is a marvel and perfectly fits in my project.

To make my title stand out, I embossed it in black. 

I really like the handwriting used for this chipboard.
