Beautiful Memories Layout by Tania Ridgwell

  Hi there!  

Tania joining you today to share the first of my DT projects for June a Layout.

"Beautiful Memories"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Freda's Butterflies

*Ariel's Spray

*Flourish Adornment Set 4

*Memories

*Beautiful Loopy Font

Once I had chosen my papers and created my background I set about painting my Chipboard in coordinating colours.   The Ariel's Spray & Flourish Adornments Chipboard are painted with Art Alchemy Opal Magic Green-Gold Acrylic Paint and the Freda's Butterflies, Memories & Beautiful Loopy Font Chipboard are painted with Art Alchemy Opal Magic Aqua-Rose Acrylic Paint.

I added my photo to the page, then added the Ariel's Spray along the bottom of the photo and arranged the fussy cut elements around the photo.  I tucked the Flourishes and Butterflies in and around the fussy cut elements and embellished my page using a variety of flowers to compliment the chipboard pieces I have used.

To finish my page I added the Beautiful & Memories Chipboard for the title.

That's all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Beautiful Memories Layout.  

Until next time,

Thanks so much for stopping by.

"Love This Life" By Marie Claude Rodier

Hi everyone,

I do hope that everything is all good for you all, 

wherever you are around the globe!

Time for me to show you my latest layout using 2Crafty beauties.

I've been in love with all the title stick sets lately!!! 

They are so easy to add as a sub-title or journaling piece under a picture or even a card.

"Love This Life"

 Love this life finishing is a mixed of several waxes: Bronze Age, Vintage Gold, 

Firebird and Rich Copper. Waxes are easy to use and they create a stunning effect, every time.

A few touches of gesso were also added here and there.

Only a few dry-brushed gesso touches were added to Happiness is this stick.

 Freda's Butterflies were covered with Firebird and Rich Copper waxes 

and dry-brushed here and there.

Until next time, be happy and be creative!

Beautifulby Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty friends!

Hope you're doing well!
I'm back with my second layout reveal for May, featuring my sweet daughter Mila.
 Over the past few months of lockdown, we had the chance to spend a lot of amazing
 time together and I took a nice picture capturing her latest attitude.

"Beautiful"

On the "Foliage Set 6", I applied two coats of green metallic paint. For the "Freda's Butterflies", I used my finger to dab teal wax, then used my heat gun to alter the finish.

For the "Fairy Set 1", I used rose-gold embossing enamel and inked the borders in black. For the title, "Beautiful Loopy Font", I used midnight-teal embossing powder.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Fairy Set 1 [M00764]

Foliage Set 6 [M00867]

Freda's Butterflies [M00581]

Beautiful Loopy Font [W00047]

That's all for me today! 

I'll be back in june with more inspiration to share with you guys! 

Until then, take care and happy crafting!

Magical - VIDEO and Layout By Emma Zappone

Welcome to the end of the week 2Crafty friends.

Em sharing with you today.

Here is my Friday inspo...…

"Magical"

And here are the beautiful 2Crafty chippy pieces used....

Products used are:

Freda's Butterflies

Florance swirl set

Fine word set 2

Decorative Discs

I would love you to check out my video here...

Some more detail, this is what I treated my chippy with.

For the finish on the butterflies I opted to ink with Archival black ink and then with
 my finger applied a Distress Oxide over the top to give a little colour and then again
with my finger rubbed Finnabair wax over that.

Simple yet effective.

I applied the same process with the decorative discs but with different colours.

For the word I coated it in a coordinating Distress Oxide, super quick on
 this delicate word but striking all the same.

For the beautiful Swirls I inked yet again with the black ink but then stamped
over them with a white ink to add interest and texture.

I love this effect and use it quite often on the chippy.

I hope this and the VIDEO give you a little Friday maybe weekend inspo?

I look forward to visiting you all again in Feb.

Till then Em xx

               

"Isn't She Lovely"by Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

I'm back to share my first inspiration for this month.
 November here in Quebec is cold, dark, rainy and damp, very damp.
While we're waiting for the first big snowfall to brighten up everything, I've decided
 to prepare a bright and colorful layout featuring my beautiful daughter, Mila. 

"Isn't She Lovely"

For the "4" Mandala #1", I've used purple ink and then applied a purple 

metallized glaze.  Then I used a black ink to trace the contour.

For the title, "Isn't She Lovely", I applied black embossing ink. On the 

"Fancy damasque", behind the title, I used a purple glaze and inked the contour.

I painted the "Freda's Butterflies" with teal metallized paint. Behind everything,

 on the "Glenda's Swirl", I used some teal embossing ink.

On the "Shrub Set 1", I used a rose gold wax and inked the contour.

Isn't She Lovely [w00536]

January Inspiration by Marie Sabatier

Hello and thank you for welcoming me to your fabulous team.
 I am very happy and proud to be able to join a team of great renown. 
I will try not to disappoint you with my creations...

Today I present you Mia, my little girl, of 30 months which 
you will see very often in my work ....

Thank you very much to Di and Vanessa....

  "TREASURE"

Christmas is a magical time and I wanted to bring out the
 white color that is representative of purity....

My paper suited & I just applied a layer of transparent gesso over it. 
I also did a little stencilling and added a small amount of black ink ....

For the frame I cut a cardboard circle that I covered with a white cotton thread 
and then I stuck very very fine feathers and some flowers in the colors of Christmas ...

I covered the chipboards with white Gesso and then I embossed them

with "Purely White" embossing powder to get a perfect white .....

For the title "Treasure" I also heat embossed it with a hot silver color ....

2Crafty chipboards used:

- Fredas butterflies

- Sammi swirls

- Fine word set 1 

        

    

"BEAUTIFUL GIRL"

Here is my second page "Beautiful Girl". As I told you about my little girl, you will
 often find that she does not always look like an angel , but a little "rebel" ......

I chose this wonderful paper according to the colors of my photo, for the bottom of my page I just applied a transparent gesso, a little white gesso, some stains with the help of a stamp that I covered with embossing powder and with a texture paste already dyed

with some drops of colour for effect ....

I worked the chipboards only with the rusty effect patina and another

 of the Haematite color.

The title "Beautiful Girl" is heat embossed, the headline advantage 

and the rendering is superb ....

2Crafty chipboards used:

- Grid panel

- Beaded Hanging Hearts

- ....................

                                                  

   

I finished off by adding some flowers, pearls ..... and droplets of white gesso ....

                             

        

Thanks a lot and see you soon.......
