July Inspiration - By Lilibleu

"Making Memories"


Hello everybody !!

Today, it is my turn to present my two inspirations for July.
I made two pages.

  For the first one, I wanted a vintage spirit using this old black and white photo
 of a little girl I found on Pinterest. To accentuate this vintage style, I used a
 background looking like wood and aged and ripped wallpaper.


2Crafty Chipboard Products used:
Word Circles Set 1
12x12 clockfaces
Ava's Frames
word "Making Memories"


Close-ups:



As usual, I created a fairly loaded mixed media background. 
To highlight my chipboards, I embossed them in different colors. 

I love the "Ava's Frameschipboard, I find it beautiful and I embossed it in white. The round part surrounds my photo to enhance it. The foliage is decorated with flowers.



The "Happy" word from "Word Circles Set 1" is embossed with white powder.




The title "Making Memories" is embossed in sky blue to make it stand out
 from my yellow background.

You can also see in the close-up the foliage part of "Ava's Frames".

I made this page using the following moodboard from Mixed Media & Art:



********

"Happiness"



For my second project I chose to make a page with a combination of colors
 I don't often use: green, red and brown.

I painted all my chipboards in different colors to make them stand out
 and create some depth.


2Crafty Chipboard Products used:
Line Words - Happiness Borders
Birds Set
Harlequin Clumps 
flourish adornment set 5
Flowers with leaves



The "Flourish adornment set 5foliage is painted white and I added drops 
of green ink on it. I love the finesse of its drawing.


The title "Happiness" is painted black and the "Harlequin Clumpschipboard 
 is painted white. I added green drops of ink on it


Another chipboard I find very lovely is the "Flowers with leaves" chipboard.
 I like its big size which dresses up a page very well. I painted it in white and 
added drops of green ink on it.

I also added two birds that give the impression they're taking off from 
the "Flowers with leaves" and I simply painted them in green.

*******


Here is a small bonus page on which I use several 2 Crafty chipboards
and with which I had the joy to be among the winners of the 
 Lindy's Gang Page June challenge.





2Crafty Chipboard Products used:
Harlequin Clumps 
Leafy Shrub Set 1
Hello Love title 
Mini Flourish Bits



The foliage "Leafy Shrub Set 1" is painted purple.



The title is embossed in black. The "Harlequin Clumps" are painted purple.


The foliage "Mini Flourish Bits" is painted purple.


And that's all for today!

July's layouts by Sandra Bernard

''Forever''


Hi crafty friends! today I show you a layout in my favorite craft color...green...
I don't know why, but I love that color...

2Crafty chipboard Used:

Floral Heart

Fine Word Set 1

Decorative Rod Set 1

Decorative Rod Set 2









I simply started with gesso and water on my background. I put the mix on
my acrylic block and I stamped directly onto my paper.


I used Decorative Rod Set 2 and Decorative Set 1 without altering them.
 I simply cut one of each them to make my remainder. 


The title ''forever'' from Fine word set 1 & I heat embossed it with green powder.


I partially put gesso on the floral heart to contrast from the background and the title.





''Follow Your Heart''

Again this time, I let myself be inspired by colors and,
& like usual, the earth tones talked to me...

2Crafty chipboard Products Used:
Follow Your Heart 
Flowers with Leaves  
Marianne's Butterflies






I used some color and stencil on my background in the same colors
 from my paper and my altered chipboards. 

I altered Flowers with leaves by partially heat embossing them.


I altered Marianne's butterflies with gel medium and
 some mica, acrylic beads and white gesso.


I just painted in brown my title Follow your heart - title
and added some white gesso on the edges to make a contrast.





Thanks a lot and see you next month!

May Inspirations & VIDEO TUTORIAL
By Lilibleu

"Forever"


Hello 2 Crafty fans !!

Let me present you today my two May projects, with a bonus : a VIDEO
 for the first one, a retro / vintage canvas.

I love this old photo which made me want to realize a project all in sweetness and loveliness.

TO VIEW VIDEO CLICK HERE




2 Crafty Chipboard used:
- View Finders 
- Pennibs
- Foliage Set 2 
- Fine Word Set 1
- Keyholes and Locks


The "Foliage set 2" is embossed in white to make it stand out from my background.


The chipboards around the picture (View Finders, Pennibs and Keyholes and Locks
are embossed with old-fashioned gold colors to reinforce this vintage look.



The "Forever" title is the only one to be embossed in black to make it clearly visible.
 I really love its delicacy and elegance.


"What a Wonderful Day"


For my second project, I wanted to make a spring page with fresh colors and lots 
of flowers to create some harmony with this very lovely photo.


2Crafty Chipboard Used
 - db flourish 2
- word what a wonderful day
- Friendship Mini Word Pack
- Corner Ivy 
- Doodled Frames


I love this title, I like its big size which is perfect to highlight both my page and the photo! 
I also like a lot, the handwriting style. I embossed it in black to highlight it.


Conversely, I embossed the "Corner Ivy" in white to melt it in my layout in order to 
give it a more bushy and verdant look. I cut it in two to use it in two different places.


I also love this "Doodled Frames" frame which I find very feminine and elegant, 
just perfect for my page. I also embossed it in white.

With this layout, I participate in the Mixed Media & Art May challenge, 
based upon this beautiful moodboard !!

I also take this opportunity to show you a small bonus page, which was my interpretation
 for the More Than Words monthly challenge.




2Crafty Chipboard Used
