"Fun in the Sun" Layout and tutorial by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Here is my second inspiration for this month of August.

Back from a scorching summer, I really wanted to create a playful and sunny layout,
 as the title I chose indicates.
 The photos show my grandson, Milan, on his first vacation. 

I love the contrast of the color of his hat.

"Fun in the Sun"

I made a video tutorials that you can watch HERE

The chipboard used: 

fun-with-a-sun-title

sea-creatures

compass

seaweed-set

  

To begin, I apply a layer of white gesso.

With you, I'm testing the new Ranger inks from 49 and Market.

Each color is mentioned in the video, which you can watch on the YouTube channel.

It’s the first time I use the chipboards "Sea Creatures Set 1". 

I find them really adorable, and they match perfectly with my baby photos.

Following the first base layer, I proceed with the finishes by adding more shades to improve the hue.

Playing with these inks is pure joy!

I relied on the colors of the ball, and I must admit that I am satisfied with the result. 

I really like the whimsy of this title. It fits perfectly into my layout.

Watching the video is a good way to get more detail.

Thank you very much!

Marie

"Beauty Within" by Elena Martynova LAYOUT+ VIDEO TUTORIAL

Hi Everyone!

It's Elena here and today I have a layout for you that 

features my favorite chipboards from 2Crafty! 

As a background, I took a piece of paper from the new collection 

"TWINKLE OF SUNRISE" from Craft o'clock.

 In the video you can see the entire process of creating a layout.

 It was pretty fast and very fun for me.

First of all, I want to draw your attention to these wonderful word strips with inscriptions. 

They have such a wonderful size that you can use them in layouts, cards and albums.

 I really like the inscriptions on them - they are universal and suitable for all my works.

I also love the background chipboard. I divide it into fragments and put it in various places.

 This creates a multi-layered and multi-detailed environment.

 In this layout, I used two small pieces from Fencing Wire Panel 

Secondly, I just love the Compass chip. I covered it with embosser powder

 to add texture and gloss. Also lifted on a piece of cardboard to make all the elements 

seem more voluminous.

Aren't these birds lovely? And how well they fit the background sheet 

and the entire composition as a whole! I painted them first with white paint, 

and then lightly tinted them with gold, Golden brown and glitter paste.

 

See what 2Crafty chippies were useful to me in this layout:

Travel Inspiration with Lisa Amiet

Hello 2Crafty Fans!

It's Lisa here today to share a layout with you.

Some travel inspiration, as this is a photo of my daughter on a recent cruise.

2Crafty Products Used:

For this layout I have used the 'World Globe',

 that I have painted in a base colour,

 and then lightly sponged over a lighter peach colour.

 I like how the two tones give it a bit more texture and depth. 

I have also used some of the 'Film Strips Tiny',

that I have painted in a mint colour to match the colours of my papers.

Lastly I have used a 'Compass', 

that I have painted in peach and mint to match my layout, 

with another of the 'Film Strips Tiny',

for my corner cluster.

There are so many fabulous travel themed chipboard pieces available from 2Crafty,

these are just a couple of them :) 

I hope you like what I have created,

Until next time

June Inspiration By Elisa Ablett"This Boy

Hi 2Crafty lovers,

Elisa here from the design team with my the first of my June projects for you,
a grungy mixed media boy layout featuring loads of 2Crafty Chipboard along
with stencils from A.B.Studio, distress ink, Aall and Create stamps and old book paper.

"This Boy"

Here are some close ups of the finer details !!

I wanted to distress and 'grunge up' my square frame, so using a
distress tool and black distress ink pad, I lightly inked the frame. 

I also added yellow details using a yellow pico embellisher.

I love using compasses on boy pages and I wanted to add little pops of yellow and 

teal to the page, so I inked both the compass chipboard to match the background.

Loads of stamping and stencilling in the background.

For the title to my page I inked the chipboard title 'this boy' with a metallic silver ink.

Then once dry I inked the bottom of my title in a blue distress ink.

More grungy stencilling and stamping, and some scribbly writing with a black pico embellisher.

Thank you very much for stopping by the blog today, 

make sure you leave me some love xx

Hugs
