April Inspiration by Sabrina

Hello 2Crafty fans,

It is my turn to share my projects for April.
My first project puts my hubby and I in the spotlight.
 Even after 18 years together, we're still in love. 

"Love is in the Air"

For the title, "Love is in the Air", I used a gold embossing powder

 which really makes the text stand out.

I applied a pink metallic embossing enamel on the "Ava's Frame"

 that blends well with the background.

I first painted the "Climbing rose bush" with a black matte paint.

 When dried, I applied a gold embossing ink.

I used a silver metallic paint on the "Fancy Damask", diluted with water. 

Then, on top of the paint, I applied a pink embossing ink.

For this project, I used the following awesome chipboards:

Ava's Frame (FR0096)

Climbing Rose Bush (DB0100)

Fancy Damask (M00564)

Love is in the Air (W00418)

"Family Forever & Always"

The second project I want to show you today is quite special for me. I did the 

"Family forever & always" layout as a gift for a close friend, hard-working

 mom of three that just graduated from university.

On the "handdrawn feathers", I applied a red-gold embossing powder.

To give this nice rusty look to the "Hearth Clumps", I used a red ink,

 then applied some gold-copper embossing ink on top.

Finally, on the title "Family forever & always", I applied a white-pink embossing enamel.

For this layout, I used the 2Crafty Chipboards:

Handrawn Feathers (M00588)

Heart Clumps (M00576)

Family Forever and always (W00125)

That's all for this month! I hope these inspire you to create as much

 as I had fun doing them for you! See you next month!

March Inspiration and VIDEO TUTORIAL By Sabrina

Hello 2crafty fans!

It is my turn to show my March layouts. 

The first one I'm revealing was a self-challenge to create a page featuring myself on a colorful page. 

"This Me"

It's always hard to find inspiration to create a page about myself but
 I really like how this one turned out!

I painted the chipboard title: This is me with a black paint. 

I embossed the Lattice leaves chipboard with a white and gold embossing enamel.

For the Swaying Branches chipboard, I painted them with a 

silver paint and used a pink embossing ink.

I painted the Frame Lucy's Flourish chipboard with bright 

turquoise ink then embossed with white embossing powder.

In this layout I used the following 2Crafty Chipboards products:

Frame Lucy's Flourish FR0047

Lattice Leaves M00589

Swaying Branches M00732

This is Me W00351

"Precious"

The next layout I am presenting today is the pre-school picture of my daughter.

 For this layout, I have also prepared a video, that you can see at the bottom of this post, 

showing the various techniques I used to prepare the chipboards so they look even more awesome.

I painted the Summer Leaf Stem chipboard with embellishment mousse then I

 embossed them with pink embossing ink.

I embossed the beautiful Climbing Rose bush chipboard with white and pink embossing enamel.

I used some copper enamel to emboss the Precious Loopy Font chipboard.

For the Grid bits, I used a gold pigment ink as a paint.

For this layout I used the following 2Crafty chipboards:

Precious Loopy Font W00300

Climbing Rose Bush DB0100

Summer Leaf Stems M00411

Grid Bits M00722

October Inspiration + VIDEO Tutorial By Kareen Dion

Hello everyone!

It's Kareen with you today and it's time to share some October inspiration!

Well, as summer ended here in Canada... I'm so not ready for Winter.

But I love fall, my favorite season!! 

Anyways, today, I'm sharing with you, two layouts.

The first layout is one with my daughter. I took this picture this Summer. 

She has such a bright and contagious smile.

I used the stunning Handdrawn Feathers, they are so gorgeous!!

I love them!! I also used the Grid Bits which I embossed in a teal color.

I think it enhances the layout. Finally I used the title Shine from the Fine Word Set 2.

"Shine"

The word Shine from the Fine Word Set 2 has been embossed in white. 

I love how curly and feminine this looks.

For the Grid Bits, I also embossing them with a green/teal powder. 

It matches perfectly the rest of my page.

And the Handdrawn Feathers!! Also so feminine, perfect for this layout.

2Crafty Chipboards used : 

- Handdrawn Feathers

- Fine Word Set 2

- Grid Bits

**********

For my second layout, I think I gave it a summer style without even thinking about it!

The picture is with the godmother of my daughter and with my son. I cherish her a lot, 

she's more than family, but also a very close friend.

For this layout I used the Climbing Rose Bush, which I cut in pieces.

I wanted to do a cluster style around my picture. I add the Lattice Leaf Set 

and I finally used the Hello Love chipboard as a title. 

"Hello Love"

I put a layer of white gesso on the Climbing Rose Bush
and then I used white embossing powder.

For the Lattice Leaf Set, I begin with a layer of white paint, 

then pink paint and finished with holographic embossing powder.

I did the same thing with the Hello Love title as the Lattice Leaf Set.

And here is the video :

''Love'' by Sandra Bernard

''Love''

Hi people, I'm back for the second time in April to show my pink-clean-roses layout.

A little girls in a climbing rose... what a beautiful effect!

 2Crafty chipboards used:

mini Word set 2

Pointed doily frames 

Lattice leaves

Climbing rose brush

I started my layout with a watercolor paper. I put some
water all over and I added some pink ink. 

Then, I glude my climbing rose already with white gesso onto my background.
 I played with my watercolor pencil and waterfilled brush to add some color on it.

I altered the paper leaves and Lattice leaves (with white gesso) to create movement.

I made the focus of my picture with the pointed doily frame, also with gesso on it.

I added the ''love'' title from Word set 2 and I added some ink drops.

Have a nice time playing with 2crafty chipboards!

See you,
