My Lovely Daughter By Jenny J.

Good morning everyone!

Here is my second January inspiration at 2Crafty.

You will see below all the gorgeous pieces that I've used on that layout.

2Crafty Chipboard Used

-Star circular frames

-Interlocking grid panel

-Isn't she lovely

-Foliage set 6

-Foliage set 1

-Dandelions

As usual, I've started by covering my background paper with clear gesso.  

Then, I've used modeling paste, 2 different stencils and some sprays to add a bit of textures.  

I've displayed my photo on layers of cardboard and papers and of course, 

a beautiful piece of 2Crafty chipboard: "Interlocking grid panel".  

Both  pieces of this set are treated with black gesso and Finnabair's waxes.

The "Star circular frame" on my photo is simply sprayed.

 That title, "Isn't she lovely" was the perfect one for my daughter's picture, don't you think?

That chippie is embossed with a gold embossing powder.

Below, you will see the "Dandelions" painted in white, 

and one piece of the "Foliage set 1", sprayed with the same color as the Star circular frame.

There's another piece of that set under the title ;)

Finally, the other pieces named previously:

"Interlocking grid panel"

"Foliage set 1" but also

"Foliage set 6" which is  embossed with a teal powder.

Sea projects by Elena

 Hello crafty friends, Elena stopping by today to share 

my latest projects for the 2Crafty Design Team.

I prepared two works, because I was inspired by our chipboards

 and could not do one thing :)))

"Sea and Dog"

 I've used the stunning St.Tropez collection by Prima to create this LO.

The photograph told me how to arrange the two pieces of paper: blue for the sky and
 brown for the soil.

  

I started by stencilling background circles using texture paste.

Next I made a clouds out of tissue paper and  refreshed it with sprays Lindy's.

 

I added stamping and Circle Flowers and Birds 

Also in this layout I used my favorite chipboard Dandelions 

 

Last but not least I added a title to finish it off. 

My second project:

ATC "Shards of Sea"

My series is named so for a reason. I took a sheet of clear plastic and cut it randomly into 4 pieces. Painted these pieces with alcohol ink and glued pieces of Mesh Bits.

Then I let go of the inspiration and began to create a composition
 of pieces of gauze, shells, flowers, metal jewelry and beads.

The main decoration of ATCs - chipboard Anchors  and Seahorses.

I tinted them a little with chameleon paint by the Fabrika Decoru and wax by Prima.

 

Added headlines-stickers by 7 DOTs.

In these ATCs and layout I have used the following

2Crafty Chipboard pieces:

Circle Flowers 

Dream A Little Dream 

Dandelions 

Mesh Bits

Anchors 

Intricate Seahorses 

Birds Set 

That's it for today! I hope I could inspire you in one way or another.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Discover - VIDEO TUTORIAL and Layout By Emma Zappone

Hello all you awesome 2Crafty people!! 

Today I have a video share to show you. But first my layout....

I just fell in love with this image, it’s one I found on Pinterest. 

And these are chipboard pieces I used for this layout...

And I thought how perfect the dandelion chippy was for this page. 

Lots of soft colours used on my base and then used the same colours
 on my chippy which I also embossed on the dandelions. 

The mini branches I left with only the ink painted on them. 

You can see how I do all this in my video. 

The ‘discover’ title I coated in black ink so that it sort of became a part of the photo. 

You can see it all come together here....

Thanks so much for watching, and I look forward to seeing you all next month. 

Till then, Em xx

September Inspirations - By Lilibleu

Hello 2 Crafty fans !!

This is Lilibleu speaking and today I give you my inspiration for September. I chose to
  make two pages with the beautiful 2Crafty chipboards!! My two pages are intentionally
 with very different colors one from the other, but both are with a mixed-media background :)

Here is my first project, a very flowery page with pink and purple tones:

"Precious"

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

- Mini Word Set 2

- Dreamcatchers 

- Paformal 3 

I chose to use the "Precious" word from the "Mini Word 2" set 

as a title and to paint it black to make it more visible.

I love the "Paformal 3" chipboard, I find it beautiful and its big size perfectl

 dresses my page. I embossed it with golden powder to create a contrast.

The "delight" word is painted black.

I used the "Dreamcatchers" chipboard to reinforce the fairy impression, 

I embossed it with a purple metallic powder.

And now, here is my second page in much warmer colors:

"A Moment Captured"

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

- A moment captured

- Dianne's doily set

- Mini-Branches 

- Dandelions 

The "Mini-Branches" foliage is embossed with bronze powder.

The "Dianne's doily set" placemats are embossed with golden powder and I put a

 layer of gesso on the edge to make them stand out.

The "a moment captured" title is embossed with white powder, highlighting it nicely.

The last chipboard I used on my page is the "Dandelions" flower that 

reminds me of the flower on my photo.

And that's all for today!

See you back here soon with some more 2Crafty inspirations

Hello 2Crafty fans,

Kavitha here today to share with you my July projects.

"Little Wonder" Canvas

For my first project I made a "Baby theme" mixed media canvas.
After creating the mixed media background with stenciling and acrylic paints
I created my layout with lots of layers.

All my chipboard pieces are heat embossed with Lindy"s embossing powders.

I used  Yvette's frame behind the photo.

For my title I used the word "Wonder" from the  mini word set.

I used a piece of Dandelions among the floral cluster.

I also used ATC tiny hearts and stars  which is heat embossed with glitter 

embossing powder.

flowers,lace and of course gorgeous chipboards.Again all of them are
heat embossed with color embossing powders form Lindy's.
