'Beautiful Day' >br> with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty fans!
It's Lisa here today to share some scrappy inspiration with you.
I have created a layout featuring my daughter. 

 

 

2Crafty products used:

 

 'Foliage Set 10'
'Foliage Set 15'

'Field Mushrooms' 

 

 

For this layout, I used one of the 'Foliage Set 10' pieces,

which I finished in an olive green,
 and added to my berry cluster at the corner of my photo.

 

 

I also used the 'Field Mushrooms',

which I left mostly raw but highlighted the spots
 and stems to match my papers.
I also finished the grass in the olive green. 
I love the natural woodland feel to this.  

I also used one of the 'Foliage Set 15',
which I also finished the stems in olive green,
 and the berries in red.  

 

 

I really love this layout, I like the nature-inspired feel to this one,
 and how well these chipboard pieces suit my papers. 

 

I hope that you like it too!

Until next time,

"My Beautiful Girl" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I present to you my first inspiration from this month of October.

A layout with a photograph of my granddaughter for the first day of school this year. 

I added an autumn decor by adding these superb chipboards "large-daisy-flower-stem".

"My Beautiful Girl"

The chipboard used:

my-beautiful-girl-title
6x6-summertime-sheets
frame-handdrawn-heart
large-daisy-flower-stem
field mushrooms
foliage-set-17

To begin, I applied a layer of white gesso to each chipboard.

The "frame-handdrawn-heart" chipboards were coated with white acrylic paint.

I used green ink for the leaves on the "large-daisy-flower-stem" chipboards. For the petals, I simply stamped with neutral ecru ink, adding a few touches of yellow.

On the word "happy", the white color is softened by lightly rubbing with "Fossil" ink.

The "field-mushrooms" and "foliage-set 17" chipboards were decorated using "49 and Market" inks, applied with a reservoir brush for a neat and controlled finish.

I like to combine chipboards and paper cutouts to highlight every detail.

For the phrase "My Beautiful Girl," I apply the same technique as for the word "happy," adding a slight shade of dark brown to tone down the brightness of the white.

As always, I loved using these beautiful particle boards to add depth and structure to my layout.

I hope that I have provided you with some inspiration for your future creations.

Thank you for your loyalty!

Marie

         

"Grandma and Me" Decorative Oval Panel with Amy Voorthuis

Hello and good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.
How wonderful of you all to stop by the blog, for today I have 10"decorative panel that I altered, 2Crafty Chipboard has bunch of them and this is my third that I worked with and I have to tell you they are absolute amazing. I made this for my aunt because it's a picture with little phoenix who sadly lost his life in September 2024. They where on a hiking trail and they had a blast here, I wanted to give her a reminder off the good times they had. 

Grandma and Me: 

Wonderful 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
10 Decorative Panel - Flourish Oval 1

Cattail Shrubs

Old Fence

Grandma and Me Title

Field Mushrooms

Frame Elouisa's

ATC Word Banner Set 1

Circle Tag Set 1

Travel Mini Word Set 2

First I started with altering the 10" decorative panel with some white gesso and white matte acrylic paint. Then I used some brown matte acrylic paint and three color waxes red, white & brown. The Elousia frame I treated with my alcohol markers in two colors red and then I used some gesso on it and some brown wax.  

The old fence was treated with two colors of brown spray ink and when that was totally dry I added a woodgrain stamp on it. The field mushroom & cattail shrubs are painted with my aqua & alcohol markers and I finished them with a brush stroke of white matte wax. 

Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project soon hope to see you back then....

'Ordinary' Art Journal Page with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty fans!
It's Lisa here today to share
some art journal inspiration with you.

'Ordinary'

 2Crafty products used:

2Crafty Used

Grass Clumps
Thistle 
Field Mushrooms

For this art journal page,
I created my own mixed media background. 

 

Then, I used some of the 'Thistle',
which I cut up and used on either side of my page. 

I left these raw to go with the nature theme of my page.

 

 

I used one of the 'Field Mushrooms'
as the main focal point for my page,
which I also left raw.

 

 

I also used one of the 'Grass Clumps',

which I have coloured the same greens
and browns as my background,

layered over the thistle and mushroom.

 I really love the green and brown natural tones to this page
and I am happy with how it turned out.
I hope that you like it too!

Until next time!

"Amazing Day" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

My first inspiration for this month of October is a layout with several photos.

In France, autumn has started well. This time of year is really nice, 

especially with these colors: orange, yellow and green.

Amazing Day

The chipboard used:

- Amazing Day Title

- Mini Title Stick 5

- Field Mushrooms

- Foliage Set 10

 

To embellish my layout I chose these beautiful mushrooms that go so well for an autumn arrangement. 

After applying a layer of transparent gesso, I use "Distress Oxide" inks with a water tank brush.

Once painted, they are so cute!

To get more relief, I added some foliage and painted it in the color 'peeled paint'.

The title "Amazing Day" is matched by two colors: "brushed corduroy" and "vintage photo".

I had the idea to include a short sentence. 

I reproduce the process on the right side by adding a tree trunk.

I hope you will appreciate this arrangement.

If unfortunately your favorite store does not carry these particle boards, you can find them direct at https://2crafty.com.au/

Thank you very much!

Marie
