'Dreamer of Dreams' by Emma Zappone

Hello all you glorious 2Crafty friends!
Emma with you today and I have a 10x10" layout to share.
I have been loving the monochromatic feels lately when I create and so this page is full of pink shades.

I have used all sorts of chippy for this one, 5 different pieces are featured.....

ATC Scissors
Foliage set 9
Foliage set 10
Mini Checkerboard pieces
Irish Knot border

I have tucked and layered these pieces with my paper and flower elements.

I started with the Irish Knot border as I wanted something delicate but would go with a small amount of grunge.
I painted this with a pink acrylic and then applied pink emboss powder to give it a simple shine.

Both the Foliage pieces were painted first with acrylic, keeping it simple by painting it either white or pink and then applying the emboss powder over the top.
With the Foliage set 9 pieces I added a 2 tone effect with a chunky white emboss and the pink emboss.

The mini Checkerboard pieces were covered with a thick white chunky white emboss powder. I wanted these to be really white to stand out amongst all the pink layers and give more textural dimension.

This same white emboss was added to the pair of scissors, that I place delicately on top of the flower as one of the main focal features.

I hope this page inspires you a little today and I look forward to catching you all again in the new month.

Till then, Stay Crafty, Em xx

'Spring Floral Cards' with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share some 2Crafty inspiration with you.
I have created a set of three spring floral cards.

2Crafty products used:

For my first card, I used one of the frames from the
'Mini Decorative Frame Set 7', 
that I have finished in white.

I have layered this with various elements from the papers,
 and also some flowers.

I then used a couple of the 'Lattice Leaves' 

as foliage for my flowers.

I love how the frames suit my papers.

For my second card, I used one of the frames from the

'Mini Decorative Frame Set 8',
I love the scallop-like edges. 

I have again used one of the 'Lattice Leaves'
as my foliage for the flowers. Again I have finished these white. 

I love the deep dark green background, it really makes everything pop.

For my final card, I used one of the 'Tiny Victorian Frames'
again finished in white and layered among the vintage elements. 

This time I used one of the foliage pieces from the 

'Foliage Set 9',

in among my floral cluster. 

I am really happy with how these spring floral cards turned out, 

some vintage love! I hope you like them too!

Until next time!

Josephine by Emma Zappone

Hello 2Crafty friends!

Emma with you today, sharing a little 5x7 Canvas featuring some of the new pieces that were released earlier this year. I have entitled this canvas 'Josephine'.

I just love the chipboard and it's finishes on this project. Working on a smaller scaled canvas allows for the chipboard to be a lot more dominant.

Here are the chipboard elements I used.....

Zipper Frames
Foliage Set 9
Scribble Flower Set

To allow the chipboard to really pop from the canvas I painted them all in complimentary colours to match the background.

And then to make them stand out even more, I added some emboss powders to them. Firstly a pretty mint for the zipper frames.

And on the Scribble flowers a clear glaze was heat set to make them super shiny. This finish was also applied on the new foliage pieces. This makes the pink and greens really shimmer and shine.

I really love treating the chippy this way as it makes them really come to life.

I do hope this project inspires you a little. Thank you for joining me today.

Stay safe and crafty everyone.
Em xx
