Rach with you today sharing a layout I recently created using some gorgeous 2Crafty Chipboard pieces... This layout featuring my gorgeous girl!!!
'#ADORE'
2Crafty Chipboard used:
Soft Feather
4" Mandala No 3.
Indian feathers
ATC - hearts (from ATC Hearts & Stars pack)
Dream Catcher
#ADORE from Mini # word set 1
I started off with treating all chipboard pieces with a coat of gesso.....
Next: I cut the beautiful 4" Mandala No 3. in half and before placing a piece either side
of my photo I randomly added some blue using a Tim holtz Distress Crayon! Doing the
same with the Large Soft Feather and the 3 Indian feathers just adding a bit more colour
to these....
Don't they look really PRETTY!!
Next: Adding a another coat of gesso to the few ATC - hearts before attaching them....
Also! adding another coat of gesso to the Dream Catcher once dried & with my finger
rubbing some colour onto the catcher using Time Hotlz - Distress Oxide 'Seedless preserves'.
Next:Inking the chipboard piece #ADORE with Versa Color - Violet ink & adhering
onto my B& W photo... I was really HAPPY with how this looked sitting on the photo!!
Finishing off by adding an assortment of flowers, a couple some fussy
cut out ones as well as a couple of purple flowers just to bring it altogether nicely.
Thank you for stopping by & I hope you like & felt a little inspired...
Hi, 2Crafty Fans! I'm very excited that 2Crafty is sponsoring CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration this month. October being the month of Halloween in the United States, I decided monsters would be our theme tying together our Case Files. I hope you'll come play with us for a chance to win some awesome 2Crafty chipboard! I used this Case File for my first layout. This challenge is open for the entire month of October.
Monster Munch
That's my friends little girl in these photos. She is quite a character, and I thought the pictures would go perfect with the colors of the Case File, and I was so lucky there were four of them to go with the sketch in the challenge.
For those of you who have never played with us at CSI, the Case File might look complicated, but trust me, it's not! I made a short process video explaining how to play with our challenges and talked about the decisions I made when I created my page.
In my video, I shared how I treated each piece of chipboard, but I will identify which pieces I used in each photo below the pictures.
My title was created with "Alpha Set 1." The antenna on the "o" is cut from "Heidi's Vines." The cloud is from "Mini Weather Icons."
The monster is from the "Blobbles" set. I also used pieces from "Triangles Set" in the picture above.
The bird is from the "Cutesy Birds" pack. Its wing is from "ATC Tiny Hearts and Stars" and it's standing on a bone from the "Barnyard Animals" pack.
Pictured above is the word "enjoy" from "Card Word Set 2" sitting atop an arrow from "Asst Arrows." Beneath the photo cluster, I used an "Apron Lace" border.

For my second layout, I used another CSI Case File:
Make Believe
I'm telling you, my girlfriend's daughter is an endless source of amusement and inspiration. She's sporting a princess outfit and a Star Wars Chewbaca mask. And, no, it wasn't Halloween. I wanted to create a princess-y yet playful scene, and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to use some of those 2Crafty flourishes in my stash. In addition to the flourish clues in the Case File, I also found feathers, geotags, and leaves in my 2Crafty stash. I did manage to use all of the clues on my layout.
The feathers were trimmed off of a "Dreamcatcher." I wanted to use the whole dreamcatcher, but I couldn't make it fit on my 8 x 8 page with all the other elements I wanted to use. I painted them with lavender and green Twinkling H2O's.
Thea chipboard leaves, from "Foliage Set 1" were painted with green Twinkling H2O's. I used two different colors to get the teal colors on the chipboard. I decided to turn the circular, flourishy "Yvette's Frame" and "Geotags" into monsters! I had a piece of the "Lacy Border" leftover from another layout, so I added that to the top.
The title came from the "Xmas Mini Word Pack."
I added a lavender painted heart from "ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars" for added initerest.
