"forever" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Good morning all!

I am happy to meet you again to present my second inspiration for this month of March.

Through the disasters of our world it is comforting to be able to continue to create while forgetting all that for a few moments.

I made a rather bright layout with a photo of Mia taken last summer.

"forever"

The 2Crafty Chipboards used:

- Mini Word Set 2

- Frame Loopy Love Hearts

- Lattice-Hearts

- Lacy Border Set 

- Fine Floral Corner

- Circle Tags Set 1

To start I apply a layer of white gesso on each chipboard.

I chose two colors of embossing powder from Lindy's Gang to embellish them "Purely White" 

and a turquoise blue "Madonna Robe Blue Gold".

I used a very bright white to bring a lot of contrast to my layout.

I cut out a "Fine Floral Corner" chipboard so I could arrange it my way. I love the finesse of this chipboard.

I use the frame in the background of my layout that I previously modified in turquoise blue like the heart, it frames and embellishes my photo well.

I used two words, the "Circle Tags" chipboard was just rubbed with a bit of "bronze" wax.

That's it, I'm done, thank you for your visit and I hope you find the time to create. 

See you tomorrow for other inspirations with 2Crafty!

April Inspiration by Katja/Mezzanotte PLUS a VIDEOTUTORIAL

"Floral Groovy ATC Cards"

Hi there!

Do you trade ATC cards with crafters? I love to trade these lovely small cards with my
 crafty friends. I think that they give me so much inspiration. Also when you trade it can
 be a good memory from scrapbooking crops and events.

I have made ATC's with colors and at the same time they have a little touch of vintage.

The ATC Cards are 2.5" x 3.5"

I really love these flower chipboards, " Groovy Flowers"
 and they are my focal point on the ATC cards.

This set with "Tiny Hearts and Stars" are really useful and in the set there are
so many so I can use them on many projects.

  

The chipboard is painted with gesso and also on the top some golden wax.

The "Lacey Border Set" makes a good match to the "Groovy Flowers".

These words for ATC -"ATC Word Set 1" are useful on many projects.

 I have used Rainbow colors from 13 arts.

"My Happy Son"

In this photo my son looks really happy. And I am happy for him, because he lives a good life.

 Three days ago he had his 25th birthday. Many congratulations to my son.

Around this photo I  have  "Frame Loopy Love Hearts" I like it when its sparkling.

The word happy comes from the set "Arrow Word Set" and its perfect here,
 and with golden embossing powder, I really love it.

I have some "Leafy Twig Branches" that stick out under the photo and the frame.

 This 12 inch border "Wrought Iron Border" makes a contrast to golden chipboards.
 I have embossed it with shiny black embossing powder.

"Thank you Card"

I enjoy making cards with vintage pictures. So have some and I also needed a card to give to friend.

Have made the background paper by self with distress ink and some stamps.

Here you can see how the  "Addys Butterflies" has landed on the card.
 

The butterflies have gesso, acrylic paint, glitter and embossing powder on them.

The frame " Lucy´s Flourish", is beautiful, so I didnt want to fill the card with to much decorations.

The text on the card Thank You comes from a useful set "6x6 Mixed Sentiment Card Words".
