Photo Adornment - Decorative Rod Set 2

Mini Flourish Bits

I love the colors of the papers so I used the same colors on the chipboard. 
 I inked the Decorative Rod set with brown distress ink.

I ticked one of the circle dot frames under the photo to highlight the photo.

I painted the flourishes yellow and I cut one of the smaller circle dot frames in half and
 placed them on the side and on the top of the layout in clusters.

I LOVE the script tile and wanted it to stand out a bit so I used cardboard to add dimension
 the hot air balloon then adhered the title to it.

Thanks for stopping by

July Inspiration : Art Journal PLUS Video tutorialBy Kripa Koushik

'What if I fail? But, Oh Darling, What if you Fly?'

Hello friends,

My second project for this month is an art journal page...

To begin, one piece each from the sets  
12" Clock face frames 
6" Clock face frames 
 Cog Nested frames 
was glued down and covered with black gesso. All the violet colored chipboard 
pieces were first coated with black gesso. All the rest were covered with white gesso.

I layered the chipboard pieces over and under tags cut out of pattern paper. To add dimension,

 I've popped the flower doilies on top of the chipboard circles that are the negative

 from the clock face sets.

I hope you enjoy the video tutorial...

July inspiration 'Capture' by Hetty Hall

Hi there 2Crafty fans and welcome to my second share for July. 

 2Crafty Chipboard products used:

- Decorative Rod Set 2
- Square Collage Panel
- Cassie's Flourishes
- Mini Word Set 1
- 6" Circle Revolution Frames

 I layered the 'Cassie's Flourishes' and the 'Decorative Rods' behind my photo to create texture and embossed it with Nuvo shimmering pearl embossing powder. I also ended up cutting out the middle bit of the decorative rod as it was covered by the photo and I don't like 'wasting' my beautiful chipboard. So now as you can see it is in a more prominent place.

The 'Square Collage Panel' was cut into several pieces and layered amongst the flowers for visual effect and embossed with Nuvo Glacier White embossing powder.

I used the negative from the '6" Circle Revolution set' which was left over from another project and layered it behind my photo to serve as a frame. It was again embossed with the Nuvo Glacier White embossing powder.

Last but not least I added some Zing Cranberry Metallic finish embossing powder to my chipboard sentiment from 'Mini Word Set 1'.

Flowers and paper are from 49 and Market and the little finishing touches are the Nuvo crystal drops.

Hope you enjoyed my layout and I was able to inspire you to get some beautiful 2Crafty Chipboard and get your craft on.

Until next time......

Hugs

Hetty

Karine's Shares for August

Dear 2Crafty friends,

Karine here with you today to share two new layouts filled with 2Crafty chipboard goodness!
 Let's jump right to the first one.

"Enjoy the Journey"

My main inspiration came from the Decorative Rod Set 2 piece I chose. I painted it
black and partially covered it with bronze and dark teal embossing powder. I glued
 it in the middle of my layout, vertically.

The shine I got on that piece is gorgeous!

I decided to use a few of the 6" Clock Face Frames here and there on my layout.
 I embossed them in bronze embossing powder.

For my title piece, I chose the Enjoy the Journey title.

I embossed it with the same bronze and dark teal powders I use all through my layout.

Here are a few other close-up pictures.

"Perfection"

I used roughly the same sketch for this second layout, but I went a bit crazy with the colors.

I began with the Retro Panel. I cut it in 3 pieces and embossed them with a black
 glittery embossing powder. I then rubbed some Art Alchemy waxes on the edges.

Over my picture, I placed the beautiful Ornate Dragonfly. I embossed it with

 a dark blue powder, and then, rubbed some waxes to add to the old finish.

 I treated my title, the word Perfection, the same way.

I embossed the Weeping Vine in gold embossing powder. I then cut it apart
 and placed pieces here and there on my layout.

July's layouts by Sandra Bernard

''Forever''

Hi crafty friends! today I show you a layout in my favorite craft color...green...
I don't know why, but I love that color...

2Crafty chipboard Used:

Floral Heart

Fine Word Set 1

Decorative Rod Set 1

Decorative Rod Set 2

I simply started with gesso and water on my background. I put the mix on
my acrylic block and I stamped directly onto my paper.

I used Decorative Rod Set 2 and Decorative Set 1 without altering them.

 I simply cut one of each them to make my remainder. 

The title ''forever'' from Fine word set 1 & I heat embossed it with green powder.

I partially put gesso on the floral heart to contrast from the background and the title.

''Follow Your Heart''

Again this time, I let myself be inspired by colors and,
& like usual, the earth tones talked to me...

2Crafty chipboard Products Used:

Follow Your Heart 
Flowers with Leaves  
Marianne's Butterflies

I used some color and stencil on my background in the same colors
 from my paper and my altered chipboards. 

I altered Flowers with leaves by partially heat embossing them.

I altered Marianne's butterflies with gel medium and
 some mica, acrylic beads and white gesso.

I just painted in brown my title Follow your heart - title
and added some white gesso on the edges to make a contrast.

Thanks a lot and see you next month!
