"enjoy" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I’m happy to be back today to share my second inspiration for August.

For this layout, I chose a photo taken this summer of Mia and Leo, my grandchildren, surrounded by their cousins. Together, from the youngest to the oldest, they create such a lovely scene full of fun and togetherness, which was perfect for a summer and vacation-themed layout.

To complement the photo, I chose several words from the 6X6 Summertime Sheets to create my title, along with some beach-inspired elements from the Fishing Net Bits. I also used a piece from the Industriel Spring Set to add a graphic line and some dimension to my design.

industrial-spring-set

As always, I started by applying a thin layer of white gesso to the chipboards to prepare the surface before adding color. 

The Fishing Net Bits were left white after the gesso application and tucked among the embellishments, perfectly complementing the seaside atmosphere.

For the Industrial Spring Set, I used Distress Oxide Stormy Sky, with a touch of Faded Jeans to highlight the details, then placed it underneath the photo to add a subtle graphic element and a little dimension to the layout.

For the words from the 6X6 Summertime Sheets, I used Distress Oxide Stormy Sky, then lightly highlighted some of the edges with Faded Jeans. For SPLASH, I added a touch of Salty Ocean to make it stand out and echo the shades of the sea.

I then played with the placement of the different words around the photo. The variety of fonts on the sheet adds lots of energy to the title and enhances the fun and spontaneous feel of the layout.

I hope this layout inspires you and gives you some ideas for using 2Crafty Chipboards
 in your own creations.

For this layout, I use some of the 'Fishing Net Bits',

that I have painted in a metallic copper finish,

 and used in among my elements

 

I also used one of 'Aged Film Strip Set',
which I finished in a multi tone aqua blue finish,
over the copper netting.
I then layered one of 'Travel Mini Word Set 2',
that I have inked black, on top of the film strip.
 

 

 

I then used one of the 'Seashells Set 2'
and one of the 'Seaweed Set 1',

both finished in the same aqua tones,
in among my layers.

 

 

 

I hope that you like what I have created, 

I love the fun beachy vibes!

 

Until next time!

"Day at the Beach" Mixed Media Layout With Amy Voorthuis

  Hi lovely creative peeps, 
For today I hope I inspire you to take out your lovely 2Crafty Chipboard and have some fun. I sure did that while making this beach layout with a photo from last June of Abbey & me at the beach. Oh and when I was making this post I was astonished on how much chippies I used didn't even realised it. Enjoy my post...

Most of the chippies I gessod first just one layer this time, and some of them I left in their raw state and only used some wax on them. I coloured the seagulls with my posca pens I used grey, black, orange & yellow.

I love to paint my phrases in different colors it gives it a fun effect. I coloured all the seaweeds I used on my layout with different acrylic paint in a matte tone. On the fishing net bits I added some rust paste but only the brown color . This was a really fun layout to create it only took me like more then six hours...

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

"Tropical Sunset" with Amy Voorthuis

 Hi lovely creative peeps, 
I hope this post will find you well and that you are enjoying your day! Well I always enjoy my day while creating for 2Crafty Chipboard since I think it's unimaginable not to use their chippies on my work. For today I have layout to share with you all and again I used a picture of my husband & me like the last project. But this picture is from my summer vacation last month both enjoying the beautiful sunset.

I left most of the chipboard pieces in their raw state because that looked better with the papers I used here. I only added some waxes a white one and a rusty brown one. The fishing net bits are treated with some rust paste after I gessod them with white gesso in the end I added some white wax.

The "tropical sunset" phrase I had in my collection for a long time and I finally got to use it, it was perfect for tis picture. The word sunset was treated with two layers of white embossing powders and on the tropical word I added some rusty brown wax. 

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

'Summer Lovin' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello all!
It's Lisa here on the blog today to share some
2Crafty inspiration with you. 

Summer Lovin'

2Crafty products used:
Intricate Seahorses
Seashells Set 2
Fishing Net Bits
Seawood Set 1 & 2

For this layout, I have used quite a few of the sea-themed pieces and sets,

including the seaweed from the 'Seaweed Set 2', 

that I have finished with orange watercolour paints. 

To get the bright vibrant colours from my watercolour paints,

I first sponge two coats of gesso onto my chipboard.

Here I have used one of the seashells from the 'Seashells Set 2', again finished in orange.

I have also given a blue watercolour finish to another of the pieces from the 'Seaweed Set 2',

I start by layering the different blues from lightest to darkest. 

I have then used some of the 'Fishing Net Bits',

that I have used brown watercolours to finish.

I layered this with my photo and one of the pieces from the 'Seaweed Set 1',

 and a starfish from the 'Seashells Set 2'. 

To finish I have used one of the 'Intricate Seahorses',

that I have again finished with watercolours, in yellows and oranges.

I really like how this layout turned out, 

I wanted to keep my chipboard having the 

watercolour vibes of my papers and I think it worked well. 

I hope that you like what I have created and 

I will see you soon with some more inspiration!

Until next time!
