June Inspiration by Debbie

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with you today to share my June projects.  

"Gorgeous" 

I found the picture on Pinterest and immediately knew I had to use it on a layout.
I did some minimal masking on the background paper and added some paint splatters.  A beautiful picture, lots of flowers and an array of 2Crafty Chipboard! 

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Corner Twisted Vine

Elsa Frame

Ornate Screen

Butterfly Frames

Corner Alexia's

Fine Word Set 2

Lavender Shrub

To the left and right of the photo I placed the Elsa Frame which I cut in half and embossed with antique taupe embossing powder.  I wanted to mimic a garden gate.  I embossed the Corner Alexia's also with antique taupe powder and cut it in half and used at the bottom sides of the photo.  Among the flowers I placed the Corner Twisted Vine, embossed with verdant and antique taupe powders.

At the top of the photo I placed the Ornate Screen, embossed antique taupe, along with the title.

  To the side I placed the Lavender Shrub embossed with verdant powder.

Here you can see more of the Lavander Shrub, along with the Butterfly Frame embossed with plum powder.

"Happy"

My second layout was made for a friend.   Love the background paper and left it as is only adding some of my favorite pieces of 2Crafty Chipboard and lots of flowers.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

6" Revolution Frames

Word Circles Set 1

Angie's Vines

Doily Border

I embossed the title happy with mixture of various blue shades of embossing powder.  Angie's Vines with a mixture of verdant and antique spice powders, and a piece from the Doily Border embossed with Navy powder.

  

Tucked beneath the flowers is a small Revolution Frame, and pieces from the Doily Border Chipboard.

Love the mixture of color in the Angie's Vine.  I added some micro beads for texture.

I hope I have inspired you.
Thanks for stopping by!

February Inspirations PLUS Video Tutorial By Lilibleu

Canvas "Dream"

Hi everyone!

The idea of making a new canvas had been in my mind for quite a while, & now it's done! 

I went with my favorite combo of colors : turquoise, green and gold.

Check out my video tutorial for this canvas :)

TO VIEW VIDEO CLICK HERE

All chipboards are embossed with a gold powder to give them some texture and make them stand out.

Beads are glued with medium gel.

I finished my canvas by adding ink splatters of different colors.

Products used:

- Elsa Frame

- Decorative Rod Set 1

- Mini Word Set 2

- Addy's Butterflies

Layout "Dream"

Yes you're right, my two projects have the same title. I just thought that

 both invited the mind to wandering and dreaming...

The combo here is very different from the canvas one, though, salmon, white, beige and plum.

I kept the chipboards raw since they're already beautiful just as they are, 

and they match perfectly with the shades of my page :)

Here is a view of some of the shrubs layered together with my paper flowers.

Frame, adds some texture and contrast behind the photo.

Products used:

- Frame Shirley's Large

- Spring Flower Bunches

- Dream  loopy font

- Mini Flourish Bits

January Layouts By Rachael Funnell

"Good Times"

Hi there everyone!

Rachael with you to share my January inspiration.....

First up I created this mixed media layout "GOOD TIMES" 

These are the awesome 2 Crafty Chipboards I used: 

Chained Heart Frame

Line words Borders - Good times

2016

Bird Set

Anchor

If you have stopped by the 2 Crafty blog to check out my projects before, you
would know how I like to come up with creative ways to use up those negative pieces...  😁

Well! I have also incorporate the negative pieces from the gorgeous
 Lace Heart frames into my background of my layout, I have covered
them with gesso, then inked the edges to enhance those hearts..
.

I just love 💓 the details this Anchor has and didn't want to lose any of it so!
 I have gave it just a very light coat of gesso....

The Chained Heart Frame, has a coat of gesso, then inked red....

Also I gave this Line words Borders - Good times, a coat of gesso...

The couple of bird's have a couple of layers of gesso.

 You may notice that this bird has a hint of blue? Well I did originally think I would
ink the birds blue, BUT! Once I had placed it on my page, I felt that the bird blended
into the page too much, SO I added another coat of gesso...

I did the same to the 2016 chipboard piece, a coat of gesso then inked with blue,
 but only a few dabs of gesso just to tone down the blue a little....

************

For my second layout I have gone with more pretty and 

a little less mixed media.. 😉

For my second page I have used these 2Crafty Chipboard pieces:

Mini School Year Titles  (Year 6)

Beaded hanging Hearts

 Lattice Leaves....

 The couple of Beaded hanging Hearts have a coat of gesso,
then inked with a Sea green color...

ATC - Tiny Butterflies have a coat of gesso & inked the edges black....
..

The Elsa Frame peeking out from underneath photo has a coat of gesso....

Also! inked with black ink is this 2016...

With both wording Year 6 (Mini School Year Titles) and  Precious (Mini word Set 2)

I have given them a coat of gesso and then inked half of the words/number for a two toned look.....

That's it for me this month!!
