"Love" Canvas Embroidery Hoop with Amy Voorthuis

 Good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.
How wonderful of you all to stop by the 2Crafty blog. 
For this post I made a canvas embroidery hoop with a picture of Jeroen and I during our
wedding back in 2012. We didn't have great weather on April the 20th but we still got
some nice pictures that I have scrapped during the years but this one I haven't as far as I remember. Enjoy my post....

Love

All the chippies are treated with some white gesso for the fine floral corner set I added some white embossing powder and I cut that one up and added them around my picture and in my flower cluster. The line word love is also treated with some white embossing powder. 

For the groovy flowers they are treated with some pink embossing powder and I place a metal screw head in the middle. For the rest of the chippies I just added some acrylic paint in different shades to match my canvas. 

Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project soon hope to see you back then....

'Alice' by Emma Zappone - VIDEO TUTORIAL

 Hello everyone.
Emma with you on the blog today with a 12x12 Layout and Video.
Here is what I'm sharing with you today....

And the beautiful chipboard used.....

Fine Floral Corner
Lorena Corner
Mini Decorative Frame set 6

The image I used today really inspired the whole story behind this project. It is by an amazing artist named Femke Muntz and they are just the best melancholy artworks.
The girl in the painting had an emotion I could match and feel. But yet a softness and vulnerability.
So I wanted chipboard to match the softness and yet fill the page with hope.

The chipboard all had a similar finish to them, but also an individuality.
The Lorena corner was painted with a liquid acrylic paint, then stamped with black ink and a script stamp and then had a clear glaze over the top to add super shine.

The beautiful delicate mini frame had the same finish as the corner piece except instead of a clear glaze I added a emboss glaze in a tattered rose colour, which deepened the colour and mage it a beautiful feature to the page.

Finally this stunning Fine floral corner was cut into 2 pieces and had a denim blue acrylic painted over it. No stamping was done on these, but a double quote of clear glaze was applied that added life to the florals of the piece.

I love that I have become a story teller in my scrapbook art. And I do this by using small quotes to create the story of the page. This one is - 'Alice, She merely went on with her life, to the best of her ability where only the imagination can go.' 

I think you will see more of this style artwork included in my projects. 
I hope you enjoy the process video too.

Have a great week everyone, and I will see you soon.

Capture the moment By Marie Claude Rodier

Hello everyone,

March is finally here and soon a new season will be here! Spring is all about flowers for me. The store is full of beautiful flower chipboards. I chose a delicate flourish frame and floral corners. I also fussy cut roses and hydrangeas that coordinate with my background paper.

Capture the moment

Whire gesso was applied to Frame Lilian’s and after it was dry, it was painted with a light grey blue.

Capture the moment title was also basecoated with gesso and painted with a light pink shade. The same color was used to create an ombre effect at the bottom of the letters.

Corner Fine Florals were simply painted in white and tucked under the main clustering.
