"Perfectly IMPERFECT" Layout by Marie Sabatier

 

Hello everyone,

For this first day of June and with the sweetness of the days that announces the end of spring, 

I was inspired to make a layout with a soft and cuddly decor.

For this, I chose a photo of my granddaughter that I printed in very pale pink 

and I opted for chipboards with vintage looks. 

"Perfectly IMPERFECT"

The 2Crafty chipboard used:

- Perfectly Imperfect Title

- Frame Olivia

- Frame Lucy's Flourish

- Stitched Lace Border

After applying a layer of white gesso on each panel, I opt for a color "Magic Moon Pearls" 

on the panel "Frame Olivia" for this I use a embossing powder.

This frame is too cute and ensures a nice effect on a layout. 

On the elegant chipboard "Frame Lucy’s Flourish" I choose a pale pink color, 

I place it in focus and I add an image in the center that will bring out the whole.

"Perfectly IMPERFECT" I love this quote, this title made me smile and with this photo even more. 

At this point how to guess that she will be the most appropriate synonym for her character.

I finish with this beautiful lace border that I glue slightly inclined and I add a bouquet 

of embellishment to give it even more charm.

I hope my inspiration will have an impact on your creativity to create beautiful projects.

Have you seen the ad on the release of new chipboard and novelty and that 2Crafty now has a retail section on our website, so if you can’t find it at your local store, you can now buy it directly. 

Wow awesome!

A Christmas to remember By Marie Claude Rodier

Hi lovelies,

November is finally here and it’s means Christmas inspiration is all around.
Even though Holiday layouts are not my seasonal favorites, I like to add a few new projects
every year to my boys memory albums.
For Today’s layout is traditional with a few thematic chipboards, but not Chrismassy one, too!
A perfect mix!

A Christmas to remember

A Christmas to remember was embossed twice with Lindy’s Bouginvillea teal.
I love this deep red color!

Frame Lucy’s Flourish and Frame Maria’s are a combination of black gesso, Lucky
Emerald Icing paste, Gren Brocade and Bronze Age waxes.

I removed the swirls around Swirly Holly Decorative Set smaller pieces, covered them
with Mint Sparkle, Green Brocade and Bronze Age waxes. Pieces were glued down either
side of both frames.

Tropical Sunset By Marie Claude Rodier

 Hi everyone,

I’m here today to share with you my latest layout using some great 2Crafty chipboards.
As summer has arrived early this year in Canada, I was inspired by warmer tones and
flowers patterns for this tropical layout.

Tropical Sunset

I started by painting Frame Celia’s and Lucy’s Flourishes with Hazelnut and Chest of
Gold Sparks paints. I also added white gesso here and there as final touches.

I basecoated Tropical Sunset title and Palm Leaves Set with Emerald Icing Paste and
added a few touches of brown and gold metallic watercolor on top of it. I also added
white gesso to highlight the pieces.

Perfect as you areBy Marie Claude Rodier

Hi lovelies,

Today, I am showing you a new beach theme layout!

It has been a while since my last one...

This one is in a non traditional color scheme with earthy tones of brown and deep blue.

I have used beautiful 2Crafty frame flourishes to recreate the horizon shown on my picture.

"Perfect as you are"

"Perfect as you are title" was embossed with Lindy's Cafe au lait powder. 

The two-tones color is obtained by overheating the powder for a few minutes.

Frame Celia's Flourish and Frame Lucy's Flourish were both covered with dark 

brown acrylic paint and tucked under the main clustering.

Clock Face Disc was also painted with brown acrylic 

and placed in the upper left corner of the clustering.

Until next time, be happy and be creative!

"Live Your Adventure" Layout by Marie Claude Rodier

Hi 2 Crafty fans! I hope the new year finds you well!

I'm here today to show you my first post for 2 Crafty Chipboard.

Where I live in Canada, January is associated with snow and cold weather.

And that is what I tried to recreate on my layout.

 I applied white gesso over all chipboard pieces as a base coat.

When the gesso was completely dry, I randomly applied blue shades

of water-soluble oil pastels over the title. I then covered most of it with white gesso.

The remaining blue shades are creating a discrete shadow effects.

 

I used the same process for the flourish frames but kept most of the
 blue shades insteadof removing it.

I also dry brushed white gesso here and there to add brightness to my layout.

I applied a coat of white pearl embossing powder over the three snowflakes.

March Inspiration and VIDEO TUTORIAL By Sabrina

Hello 2crafty fans!

It is my turn to show my March layouts. 

The first one I'm revealing was a self-challenge to create a page featuring myself on a colorful page. 

"This Me"

It's always hard to find inspiration to create a page about myself but
 I really like how this one turned out!

I painted the chipboard title: This is me with a black paint. 

I embossed the Lattice leaves chipboard with a white and gold embossing enamel.

For the Swaying Branches chipboard, I painted them with a 

silver paint and used a pink embossing ink.

I painted the Frame Lucy's Flourish chipboard with bright 

turquoise ink then embossed with white embossing powder.

In this layout I used the following 2Crafty Chipboards products:

Frame Lucy's Flourish FR0047

Lattice Leaves M00589

Swaying Branches M00732

This is Me W00351

"Precious"

The next layout I am presenting today is the pre-school picture of my daughter.

 For this layout, I have also prepared a video, that you can see at the bottom of this post, 

showing the various techniques I used to prepare the chipboards so they look even more awesome.

I painted the Summer Leaf Stem chipboard with embellishment mousse then I

 embossed them with pink embossing ink.

I embossed the beautiful Climbing Rose bush chipboard with white and pink embossing enamel.

I used some copper enamel to emboss the Precious Loopy Font chipboard.

For the Grid bits, I used a gold pigment ink as a paint.

For this layout I used the following 2Crafty chipboards:

Precious Loopy Font W00300

Climbing Rose Bush DB0100

Summer Leaf Stems M00411

Grid Bits M00722
