"JOLLY" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I present to you my first inspiration for this month of December.

A Christmas-themed layout embellished with superb chipboards, including this magnificent Christmas tree so well made. With photos of my grandchildren from last Christmas in the middle of unboxing gifts. 

"JOLLY"

The chipboard used:

tis-the-season-shape-tree

curly-christmas-light-borders

bush-nut-floral-clusters

Initially, not knowing which color to choose to decorate the chipboards, I applied a first layer of white gesso.

Finally, I decided to use black because it matched better the background paper decoration.

I had some fears that the result would be too dark, but after trying, I liked the result.

For this, I used the Distress Oxide ink "black soot". I pressed the words while I opted for a lighter application on the branches.

On the chipboard "curly-christmas-light-borders" I use the bulbs to add enamel dots.  

I love the movement of this border of light. 

I add "bush-nut-floral-clusters" to complete the cluster of embellishments.

To decorate them, I used a stamp adorned with round patterns in order not to completely cover them.

I hope you liked this layout.

Your visit is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

Marie

       

"Christmas Moments to REMEMBER" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Let me introduce you to my first inspiration from this month of November.

A Christmas-themed page, with a family photo taken last year.

I love all the new products offered by 2Crafty, a wide range to embellish each of your creations. 

"Christmas Moments to REMEMBER"

The chipboard used:

- Christmas Moments to REMENBER

- Dotty Star Frames

- Curly Christmas Light Borders

- Poinsettia Set

      

As usual, I apply a coat of white gesso to each chipbopard.

For the "Dotty Star Frames" and "Curly Christmas Light Borders" particleboard, I use a metallic wax in the color "Celestial" which I apply delicately with my fingers.

I like this new frame for its finesse and originality. 

I put in place this beautiful bright border that I fix only at both ends.

For this magnificent "Poinsettia" I used Distress Oxide inks "candide apple" "mode lawn" 

and "peeled paint". To decorate I add a little white embossing powder.

I also used wax for the title, but thought it was too pale. 

I also add effects using white embossing powder.

Getting a rendering as precise as the real thing is difficult, but in the end, it comes out very well.

I hope you are inspired to start your Christmas decorations.

Thank you very much for your visit!
