  Hi lovely creative peeps,

Two Christmas Cards:

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Festive Vine
Frame Viney Circles
Crystal Snowflakes
Word Circles Christmas
Holly Twig Branches

Card 1: A Season of Magic and Wonder: 

In my last post I told you that I am hooked Twin/Aqua markers to color my chipboard it's so addictive and very easy to color the smallest lines. It's not that I will never use acrylic paint again but this makes my scrapping time a little bit faster.  

On the holly twig branches & festive vine after I painted them with the markers, I treated it with some snow and matt wax in a brown shade. The snowflake was just treated with some white gesso and shimmer spray. 

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Frame Mini Doodled Set
Foliage Set 11
Crystal Snowflakes
Holly Twig Branches
Fern Leaf Set

Card 2: Magical Christmas Wishes:

That fern leaf was treated with some green acrylic matte paint, snow and matte brown wax. I always love it to not use traditional colors for my cards 

And aren't those images sweet? I made these cards for my colleagues and they loved them. 

 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....

"Beautiful Little Girl" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello and thank you again for your loyalty to 2Crafty.

I present to you my second inspiration for this month of August.

I was inspired by my little girl's outfit in this photo taken in a park.

With the dominant color green and blue.

"Beautiful Little Girl"

The 2Crafty chipboards used:

- Beautiful Little Girl

- Viney Circles

- Minibicycles

- Foliage Set 8

As always I applied a coat of white gesso on each chipboard.

On the "Viney Circles" chipboard I applied a first coat of embossing powder 

in "Merry Go Round Green" color then after heating a second coat 

in "Ghouly Goblin Green" color by Lindy's Gang.

On the "Minibiycles" chipboard I only applied a layer of embossing powder 

I wanted to contrast the shades of green a bit since 

I chose the same color for all the chipboards.

I also ended up applying a little gold wax to match with my paper.

I love these little sprigs of foliage, they harmonize 

the bouquet of flowers!

Contrary to my habits, I forget the title a bit but I like it.

I hope you liked my layout.

See you soon!

Autumn boxes by Elena Martynova

Hello crafty friends!

 Elena here today with a set of Seasonal Mixed Media Box.

All the luxury of autumn in new photo boxes. 

Noble purple, rebellious Burgundy, and sumptuous gold were reunited together.

The main decoration is my favorite chipboards from 2Crafty Chipboard.

Some of them are covered with brown and gold embossing powder by  Lindy's. 

The other part is painted and covered with transparent powder

 to enhance the color and fix the paint.

I used paper by Blue Fern Studio and Fabrika Decoru.

These boxes are designed for storing photos from autumn photo sessions. 

They can also be used as gift wrapping. 

I think it would be very nice to receive such a compliment.

I used all the chip dials and I still have a lot of hands from the clock.

 Why not use them this way! The role of the dial was played by a wreath of leaves

 from the Frame Viney Circles set, I pasted it on a card with a calendar 

and it turned out to be such a little crazy clock :)))

I put pictures of my dad in this box when he was very young. 

They were made 70 years ago.

Have a look at the wonderful chipboard I've used here:

""Live In The Moment" By Elena Martynova

Hey everyone, it’s Elena Martynova here sharing a

layout using 2Crafty chippies.

Cold November crept into my work.

 I've already done a few Christmas projects and wanted

 to take a break from their bright colors.

So I chose a calm gray background for the page and 

added a piece of paper with boards.

If you notice, the background behind the girl in the photo

 resembles these boards. Her clothes and lipstick color

 influenced the choice of decor. I took the beautiful

 shuttered window, painted it black, and applied 

some dark blue embosser powder.

I wanted to highlight the background of all the work of a 
round frame with leaves, so I used for its decoration Golden powder.

Stunning piece of chipboard resembling cracks 

I cut into several pieces and added them to the composition. 

I painted it black and left it there.

Red flowers to add brightness and contrast.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

I was glad to inspire you today! 

See you soon, bye-bye!

This Boy by Marie Claude Rodier

Hi there,

Marie Claude here today to show you my latest 2Crafty Chipboard layout.

I started by randomly applying a light coat of mint wax over the Moroccan panel.

Once dried, I played with two tones of green Gelatos to create a verdigris look

 and then added a vintage gold coat of wax on top of it to replicate an antique finish.

I used a green-gold embossing powder over the title.

I dry brushed white gesso over the viney circle frame and a
few touches of white gold wax here and there.

I painted the lock green using Gelatos and highlighted it with gold wax and white gesso.

'Opening Presents' by Tammy Klingner

Hi there 2Crafties!!

Tammy  here today sharing a Christmas inspired layout titled:

'Opening Presents'

I had so much fun creating that Christmas wreath with lots of 2Crafty Chipboard!

I used the following pieces:

'Opening Presents Title'

'Corner Sweet Holly'

'Frame Viney Circles'

'Corner Holly Vines'

'Tiny Hearts and Stars'

I absolutely adore this time of the year.

Everything about it is magical!!

This month 2Crafty Chipboard is sponsoring the fabulous CSI Challenges.

I solved Case No 267......

I was inspired by the gorgeous colours of the Scene and also the whimsical feel.

I had so much fun solving the case and used lots of the clues - dots, Christmas/holiday,

 tags, stars, animals (birds and deer), garland, stamps and string.

You can head to their challenge site HERE to see the list of clues.

I began by applying white gesso to ALL of the chipboard.

I then added white acrylic paint to everything too.

I trimmed down the 'Frame Viney Circles', 'Corner Sweet Holly' and the 

 'Corner Holly Vines'. I needed them to fit into a circular shape as I wanted

 to create a Christmas wreath.

I then applied watercolour paint to various individual pieces, just to highlight 

some of the beautiful elements of the chippy - so fun!

Just look at those gorgeous 'Corner Sweet Holly' pieces, with the holly and the birds!

Super cute!

I added a few of the stars from the 'Tiny Hearts and Stars' Pack,

 to give a touch more of that gorgeous blue colour.

I just popped them in here and there.

For the 'Opening Presents title', I heat embossed it with white emboss powder,
 just to give a slightly different finish to the other pieces.

I added some pen marks to some of the holly, and also added a stamped leaf -
 these were a perfect addition to go with the whimsical feel.

That's it from me today, enjoy this magical time of the year, and I will see you
 a bit later on with another creation.

Until then you can always check out my Blog.
