Butterfly Frames

Corine's Swirl

Enjoy Today

Sammi's Swirls

Along the left side of the photo I placed the Ariel's Spray embossed white along with
 Sammi's Swirl embossed peach, and a piece from Corine's Swirl embossed peach.
Tucked in the flowers I used a piece from Leafy Shrub Set 2.

To the right of the photo I used pieces from the Corine's Swirl embossed green. 

The Butterfly Frame was painted blue and then sprinkled with blue glitter.

Enjoy Today title was embossed peach.

"Be Your Self"

2Crafty Chipboard used:
Edgar's Swirls
Sharon's Butterflies
Be Yourself
Frankie's Frames
Element Set 1
Trudi's Vine

 I embossed the large piece from Frankie's Frames,  along with Edgar's Swirls and
Trudi's Vines with a mixture of antique taupe and pink embossing powders.

Sharon's Butterflies embossed with light pink and the title with antique taupe.

I've created a PICTURE TUTORIAL for you to view my creative process:...

Step 1:  Add some light stamping along with some masking using a light gel medium
and then embossing with light pink embossing powder.

Step 2:  Begin your layering process.

Step 3:  Continue to build up your layers.

Step 4:  Add your photo.

Step 5:  Add chipboard:  Frankie's Frame, Edgar's Swirls and Trudi's Vine along with flowers.
Apply some additional stamping along the edges of your paper background.

Step 6:  Add additional flowers to the right of the photo and build up some paper layers.
Add your title and Element Set 1.

I hope I have inspired you.
See you next month!

"Enjoy Today"

Hi and happy New Year to you all!

My first post this year is with two layouts, still using photos from our trip to London.

Took a lot of photos so there is plenty to play with.

Here is our two girls with lots of bags after a long day with shopping. 

(don't know who were the most exhausted, they or us LOL)

Found the perfect title for this one.

In fact, 2Crafty Chipboards has titles for every occasion so it's not hard to find something suitable.

Loved this large chippie and placed it partly under the photo in layers.

These small words from the different sets are awesome as "embellishments".

My chippies this time are coloured with an ink pad and some splashes
 with gesso and white watercolor.

Stamps and stencils on the background (as usual from me) making a fun background.

2Crafty chipboards used:

Art Deco Border

Word circle set2

Cartia's swirl

"Fun Times"

On this layout I have used a photo from one of the many underground escalators.

 Wow the were steep sometimes.

My chippies this time is colored with black ink pad, to match the background paper

The "bricks" are just awesome and so easy to use when you cut them in pieces

I really love the sheets with words and I use them a lot

Here I also used an arrow from the arrow set.

Brick panel in layers - really cool!

Background is filled with mist and stencils to give some extra dimension
