Flower Power - with Emma

Hi all, Emma with you today on the blog.

Today my inspo is flowers, now flowers are never really a go to for me.
 I will add one or 2 to a layout but never many. I had fun with it this concept and this layout.

In saying that, this layout actually feels very floral for me. ;)

Here are the chippy pieces I used.....

Amelia flower stems small

Decorative Rod set 2

Spring Flower Bunches

I kept the Chipboard nice and simple, I find this really makes them a feature otherwise I think they can get lost a bit.

I painted them with a metallique acrylic paint, then once dry rubbed up to 3 different Art Alchemy wax’s over the top to add slight contrast and shine.

I love how the chipboard just shines.

I hope this layout inspires a little and you get a chance to scrap too. 

I will see you all again soon.

'Adore' layout by Hetty Hall

Hi there and welcome to the 2Crafty blog,

 Hetty with you today!

'Adore'

Today I would like to share with you this layout using a number of awesome
 2Crafty Chipboard 
 I also included some progress photos, but first some close ups and product information.

2Crafty Chipboard Products:

- Amelia Flower - Small

- Amelia Flower - Large

- Beaded Hanging Hearts

-Mini Word Set 2

- Decorative Rod Set

Papers, flowers and Laser Cuts are from 49 and Market.

As per usual I used lots of layers, I love the dimension it creates.

I used a really fun technique on the 'Amelia Flower' chippie which I will explain below.

Close up of the finished effect on the chipboard.

Below is a photo tutorial of how my page came together.

So I started off with adding some cheese cloth to my background paper and
 gluing it down in random places scrunching it up as I went.

Next I added two coats of heavy white gesso to my chipboard,
 drying it off with the heat gun.

Once dry I added three different opal magic colours in
 random areas using the dry brush technique.

I then dried the paint with my heat gun which made it bubble

 and melt to create this awesome texture.

Next I added both chipboard pieces to my layout on top of some layered photo matts. 

The papers are layered with pieces of cardboard to create dimension.

I used some copper embossing powder on the 'Decorative Rod' and 

white on the sentiment and 'Beaded hanging Heart'

Finishing it off by adding all my other elements like flowers 

and laser cuts, some art stones and prills.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Until next time.....

Hugs

March Inspiration By Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone, I come to present my two new pages for the month 
of March, which is still cold here in France. So need comfort and create ...

"Magical Memories"

Need warm and bright colors !!

With this photo I wanted to gild and very structured chipboard.

I worked on my page background by adding a stamping and embossing 

powder in a light color to give relief and I also stamped with black ink.

For the chipboards I applied a layer of white gesso that I then inked with two colors, a turquoise blue and a golden yellow, I ended up with a layer of gilding applied with my finger.

For the title I just added a layer gilding effect

And to finish some embellishments...

Here are the 2CraftyChipboard I used :

- Cassie's flourish

- Decorative-Rod-Set

- Magical Memories

                          

For my second page I really wanted to make a page with a very  real 

spring feel to it with this picture of my little girl that I love !!!

"Spring is here"

For the bottom of my page I wanted to highlight a color I applied using

 a stencil and a light modeling paste a pattern effect pebble I then 

before drying covered with a powder embosser green color.

All chipboards have been coated with embossing powder.

To finish the embellishment with the circle in bloom.

The 2CraftyChipboard I used :

- Spring is here

- Thistle Shrubs

- Valentine branch

- Iron fence

                         

                                     

Hoping to have given you some warmth and the desire to create .....

See you soon
