'Travel the World' by Emma Zappone

Welcome to a new week everyone.
Em with you all today.

This page is full of clustering and soft colours.
Let's check out the chipboard used.....

Fern Leaf set
Corner Lorena
Foliage Set 7

Pretty Flowers

I wanted the focus on the left side of the picture, to compliment and add to the floral composition within the image.
I chose to start with a piece of the foliage 7 and a Lorena Corner. These were painted with complimentary acrylics and distress oxides. With a silver wax finish. These were my starting layers.

Next I really wanted the Flowers to pop against the teals. The base part of the flower was painted in a liquid acrylic and the top layer a complimentary orange acrylic. Before I glued the 2 elements together, I stamped a ticket stamp with white ink to add some extra visual interest. 

These really are a special feature for me.

Finally to add to the foliage feels, I added one of the Fern pieces in the same orange as the base of the flowers. And Also with a light amount of stamping to tie all the elements in together.

I think the combo of chipboard used on this page is one of my favourites so far.

I hope this has inspired you to get a little crafty this week. 
I will catch you all again later in the month.
Have a great day.

Stay Crafty, Em xx

 

"You,Me & The Sea Layout and tutorial video by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone, 

After a short holiday break under the heat I am happy to see you again 

and to present you my second inspiration of this month of August.

I was inspired by this photo of my grandson with his mom 

on the beach sharing a moment of tenderness.

"You, Me & The Sea"

I made a video tutorial that you can watch HERE

The 2Crafty chipboard used:

- You,Me & The Sea

- Thin Rectangle Stacked Frames

- Fern Leaf Set

- 11" Fine Floral Frame Set 

I directly apply the Distress Oxide "peeled paint" ink on the chipboards "Fern Leaf" 

I spray a little water to nuance the color. 

I had a few pieces of "Fine Floral" that I ink with different colors "picked raspberry", "spun sugar" and "candied apple". 

On the frame I use white embossing powder. 

After placing my photo I realize a nice exotic bouquet by inserting these pretty branches.

A little reminder at the top of my picture.

I always find the perfect title when I use 2Crafty's great selection of titles for my layouts.

I also embellish it with white embossing powder. 

For more details, feel free to watch the video.

Good scrap to you!

"Amazing Day" by Amy Voorthuis

 Good morning amazing 2Crafty friends, 

Today I would like to show you all a very colorful layout and this time I used the amazing NEW "Postcards from Paradise" collection by Prima {swoon} and some beautiful NEW & older 2Crafty Chipboard pieces. The picture I have used here is from Jeroen & Abbey in Greece last year. We have had rough couple of months and we have some ahead that's why you haven't seen much of my work lately. Hopefully I will make that okay with you all.

Amazing Day

 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Sabina's Frame Set 
Fern Leaf Set 
Foliage Corners 
Amazing Day
Squiggle Arrow Set 
Mini Branches 

On the beautiful "Sabine's Frame Set" I added some matt golden eyelets in the already prepared circles after that I added some sheer lace but before all that I used some pretty matte pink acrylic paint to color it. For the phrase I used the same color pink and after I attached it to the upper right corner of my layout and used my sewing machine to stitch over it. 

 On the rest of the chipboard pieces I used some white gesso and some different green matte, metallique acrylic paints on some I have added some waxes. On the Foilage Corners I used two different shades of green and some cute green pearls. Inthe end I added some leaves, pearls and word strips. 

Thank you so much for your visit today and if you would like to see more of my work please visit here:

'Sunshine and Blue Skies' with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share some inspiration with you.
As we have just started SPRING (my personal favourite ;)) in our part of the world,
I thought something bright and fun would be ideal!

Sunshine and Blue Skies

2Crafty Products used:

For this layout, I have started with a bit of
a colourful splash around on my page.

I have then built up my layers,

 including one of the 'Leafy Shrub Set 2' designs,

that I have finished in a bright multicolour of paints,

 coordinated with my papers.

I have also used one of the 'Fern Leaf Set',

that I have finished in aqua paint to match. 

I have also used one of the 'Charlotte Flowers',

that I have finished in bright pink paint. 
I love how delicate these flowers are, and so pretty!

Finally, I have used the 'Sunshine & Blue Skies' title,

that I have painted in a two-tone yellow and aqua, 

to match my layout.

I love how these pieces can bring sunshine to a page!

I hope that you like what I have created,

and that this brings you some sunshine wherever you are!

Until next time!

Autumn Love inspiration with you!
I have created this set of 2 cards.

For my first card, I have used one of the leaves from the

I have also used this same finish on one of the locks from the 

'Keyholes & Locks', and have layered this with my sentiment.

I have also used some of the 'Grid Bits', finished in white,

in among my layers.

For my second card, I have again used some of the 'Grid Bits', finished in white. 

I have also used one of the 'Clock Face Discs',

finished in the same white as the other pieces.

"Love Today" Layout By Marie Sabatier

Hello loyal friends of 2Crafty!

I am very happy to find you with a first inspiration of this month of March.

I started from my photo to determine the choice of chipboards and colors.

The photo taken in the garden inspired me for a botanical atmosphere.

"Love Today" 

The 2Crafty Chipboards used :

- Love Today

- Circle Stack

-Flower Set 1

- Fern Leaf Set

I directly applied a layer of acrylic paint on each chipboard. 

I used Prima Marketing paints and waxes.

The color "Iris Potion" for chipboards "Flower Set 1". 

For a more mixed effect I added touches of lighter colored embossing powder.

The "Circle Stack" chipboard encircles my photo but is also a support for laying out the embellishments.

I used two colors of green for the Mermaid Sparkle and Stormy Ocean "Fern Leaf Set" chipboards.

   For the title I chose embossing powder in a light shade but I think I should have used a darker color.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Stay tuned to discover the creations of new team members!
