Hi there!

Tania popping in today to share the first of my DT projects for March.
  I have altered a 3D Butterfly Wall Art. 

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Flower Doilies

*Celebration Swirls

*Decorative Poles

*Fancy Set 2 Borders

I have used the gorgeous Mintay 'Elodie' Collection on the base panels and the butterfly of my Wall Art.

I have painted the large Flower Doily, Decorative Pole & Celebration Swirls chippies with Mont Marte Silver Paint.  The Fancy Border end chippie pieces I have kept raw.

Once I added my chippies pieces on my 3D Wall art and I was happy with the placement.  I then finished it off with lots of beautiful paper blooms and coordinating die cuts.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my 3D Butterfly Wall Art.  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

Altered Christmas Wreath by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share my first project for November. 
I have altered a Christmas Wreath that I picked up from Kmart.

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Poinsettia Set

*Merry Christmas Title

*Holly Twig Branches

*Celebration Swirls

The wreath before I altered it.

I coloured the Poinsettia chippies with a mixture of Kaisercraft Red Iridescent & Gold Shimmer Sprays and the edges I painted with Brush Leaf Interior Antique Gold Paint.  The Holly Twig Branch chippies I coloured with Kaisercraft Rose Gold Iridescent & Gold Shimmer Sprays.  The Celebration Swirl chippies have been coloured with Heidi Swapp Chartreuse Color Shine and the Merry Christmas chippie I coloured with Kaisercraft Gold Shimmer Spray.

To construct the wreath I added all my Poinsettia chippie pieces first and then added my paper blooms.

I then tucked in the Holly Twig Branch chippies amongst the Poinsettia chippies and paper blooms.  I kept some of them as is and some of them I cut into pieces.

I add the Merry Christmas chippie title along the bottom of the Wreath and finished if off by randomly dabbing on some gesso onto the Wreath, chippie pieces and paper blooms to give it a snow like effect.

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

Floral Dance Cards by Tania Ridgwell

  Hello there! 

Tania joining you today to share my first DT project for May.  I have created a set of cards. 

"Floral Dance Cards"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*6" Circle Revolution Frames

*Charlotte Flowers

* Celebration Swirls

I created each of my card bases using the gorgeous Paper Rose Floral Dance Paper Collection.

How pretty are the colours.  I used Lilac Rose & Golden Flamingo Opal Polish to colour all my chipboard pieces. 

To construct each of the cards I added one of each of the the Circle Revolution Frames to each card and for the forth card  I used the inner solid Circle.  I embellished them with fussy cut flower elements and then tucked in some of the chippie flourish pieces to each.  To finish I cut the Charlotte Flowers in half and tucked a half in the fussy cut elements on the cards.

See each card below.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Floral Dance Cards.  

Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

June Inspiration with Elena Martynova

Hello my dear friends!!
Today my layout was made for the CSI case file #255 which 2Crafty chipboard
is sponsoring this month. Check out the CSI challenge HERE

 I like to make projects with several photos, you can play with their
location and make the composition more lively and dynamic!

I used some different colours of sprays Lindy's to colour the background paper and also
 added some texture with a stencil and texture paste and did a little stamping as well.

All the chippies were painted with gesso first and then I  used a spray.
 You can see the list of chippboard I used at the end of the post.
  I really love how they look on my composition.

Kavitha here with you all today to share my 

November inspiration

"Adorable" - Layout

I love the flourish/swirly designs from 2crafy ,today

I have combined some frames and swirls to compose a elegant design.

I used Lucy's flourish frame and Celia's flourish to frame the

picture which is heat embossed with glitter mint embossing powder.

Around the frame I used Celebration swirls which is heat embossed 

with sassy sapphire embossing powder.

I finished off the layout with the title "Adorable" which perfectly suited the little girl.

It is heat embossed thrice with white embossing powder.

"Forest Fairy" - Canvas

I created this canvas in forest theme,after creating the mixed media

background I used some real tree barks and green moss

to create the composition.

 All my chipboard pieces are concentrated in the center of the canvas,

for the first layer I used cut up pieces of Viney page frame which 

are painted with light and dark green acrylic paints.

 For the second layer I heat embossed a 6" clock face with black embossing

powder and rubbed some silver wax over it.

 For the last layer I used corner Lorena & I just left it raw for contrast.

October Inspiration by Debbie Burns

Hi everyone, Debbie here with you today to share my October projects. 

"Beauty"

I love this time of the year.  Usually the temps are on the cool side and the leaves are changing colors,  but so far we've had an unseasonably warm Autumn.  Thoughts of Autumn past spun around in my head and lead to me create this layout featuring a picture of my grandmother.  I was also inspired by the October Challenge at Words &  Paintery.  I added several colors of distress stain to my background paper along with some stamping, micro beads and glass glitter.

I love the detailed Marianne's Butterfly.  I embossed it with some Nutmeg 

embossing powder and added paprika, twig  and gold micro beads.

Lots of warms Autumn colors.  The Corner Vine Leaves embossed with Sage embossing powder,

  the Large Leafy Vine embossed dark brown and beneath them I used the Corner Lorena, embossed with an antique teal powder.  

Tucked under my photo I used the Large Leafy Vine, Corner Vine Leaves and
Mini Flourish Bits, and my title is from the Mini Word Set 1.

"Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful"

Soft colors adorn this layout from the background paper with added distress stains,
stamping and paint splatters, with detailed chipboard that encircle the photo along
with flowers edged in gold glitter.

The Celebration Swirls and 6" Circle Dot Frame were embossed teal.  The Decorative Disc Set 1

 and Foliage Set 3 embossed gold.  Gold microbeads were added to the Celebrations Swirls.

Here you can see more of the Foliage Set 3 and Celebration Swirls.

In keeping with the color scheme, I embossed the title an antique teal.
