"Daddy's Gorgeous Girl" by Amy Voorthuis

Hello lovely 2Crafty fans,

Welcome on this wonderful blog, today I am showing you a layout with a bunch of gorgeous 2Crafty chipboard pieces. I am a massive fan of making beach & wintery layouts this time I chose a beach one, with a picture of Abbey and her bucket full of shells. The papers I used are by Maja Design and are two different collections. The picture was taken last year, Abbey loves the beach and she always says "it's sunny on the beach mommy" you have to put sunscreen on me. 

Daddy's Gorgeous Girl:

 2Crafty Chipboards used: 
Daddy's Girl
Breanna's Swirl
Frame Lucy's Flourish

Fine Word Set 2
Fishing Net Bits

Firstly I coated all the chipboard pieces with a thin layer of white gesso, then I used a couple of different acrylic & liquid paints to cover my chipboard pieces. On some of them I dabbed a darker brown paint randomly and others I used waxes on. 

On the background I did some mixed media such as stamps, inks and sprays and I finished of my layout by adding some art stones, sea shells, flairs {long time ago since I used them} and some word strips. I also used some metal pieces.

"Cherish That Wonderful Day Canvas" by Amy Voorthuis

 Hi lovely 2Crafty friends, 

For today I show you some mixed media inspiration, this is a reversed eight by eight canvas with a picture of our Abbey and lot's of 2Crafty chipboard pieces. This time I used a different colour combination which is more my style.

Cherish That Wonderful Day: 

 2Crafty Chipboards used: 
 Fine Word Set 1
Lace Doily Frame
Frames Tiny Vivian's 
Square Leafy Frame Set
Corner Steampunk 6 Set

All the chipboard pieces are first treated with white gesso, then I added rust paste on them with the exception of the fine word "Cherish" that one was treated with liquid acrylic {nude}. After the rust paste was dry I added several different mediums on the beautiful 2Crafty chipboard pieces such as matte & metallique waxes, impasto paint & metallique acrylic paints.

The canvas was treated with tissue paper, then I added some paper texture paste on the outer side {the wood part} of the canvas when that was all dry. I placed another layer of tissue paper on the outer edge. It took a bunch of hours to let it all air dry before I could embellish it.

"A Moment With You is Magical" by Amy Voorthuis

 Hi there 2Crafty fans. 
I am excited to show you my newest layout, for this one I used the color yellow which I don't
use that often. But when I got my new 2Crafty chippies I knew exactly which ones I wanted 
to use & with what paper collection I was going to use it.

 The picture is a oldie and I wanted 
to use it since we are going to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary next month. 

A moment with you is magical: 

 

2Crafty Chipboards used: 
 Fine Word Set 2
Frame Fine Circle with Butterflies
11"Fine Floral Frame Set
Foliage Set 6
A Moment With You

All the chipboard pieces are treated with gesso and "purely white"embossing powder,

  then I added a layer of wax with two different colors {rusty brown and old white}, on the 

foliage pieces I added some green matt acrylic paint and on the little circles I added gold pearlecents.

I did some machine stitching around my picture, and also used some pretty flowers, rub-ons, wishing bubbles and did a lot of fussy cutting from the "sunflower" collection by ScrapAndMe.

 At the end I added some frozen jack frost & shimmer spray. 

I also added some rub-on words & three beautiful butterflies made by my very talented friend Renea Harrison. Thank you so much for your visit and I hope to see you next time.
