Handsome Lad by Tania Ridgwell

 Hello there! 

Tania joining you today to share the second of my DT projects for January.  I have created a layout for my second share.  I've stepped out of my comfort zone today with this layout not a flower in sight lol!

"Handsome Lad"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Geometric Arrows

*Giant Gears

*Steampunk Gears Medium

*Steampunk Chain Rectangle Frame

*Mini Title Stick Set 1

I have used the awesome Unmistakable Creations 'Daily Shift' Collection to create the base for my Layout.

I coloured all the Gear chippies with Melted Chocolate Dylusions Spray and once dry I randomly wiped over them with a White Posca Paint Pen.  I coloured the Steampunk Chain Rectangle Frame chippie using both Melted Chocolate & London Blue Dylusions Sprays and once it was dry I did the same with the White Posca Paint Pen.  The Geometric Arrows and Handsome Lad chippie Title from the Mini Title Stick Set have been coloured with London Blue Dylusions Spray and again wiped over with the White Posca Paint Pen.

I added lots of paper layers under my photo and placed the Steampunk Chain Rectangle Frame chippie over top.  I embellished around my photo with the the Gear chippies, added a Geometric Arrow chippie to the top and bottom of the Layout and finished off by adding the Handsome Lad Title chippie along the bottom left of my photo.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout. 

 Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

"Altered Tissue Box" with Amy Voorthuis

 Good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.
How wonderful of you all to stop by the 2Crafty Chipboard blog. For today I want to show you  a altered tissue box made with a bunch of my favorite 2Crafty Chippies. This box is based on my daily job as a optician. Vanessa made me some amazing tabs with all words used in optics and I used three of them on my box. I made this for at my job to show in the lunch area. For this I used a golden oldy collection from 2012.....enjoy my post!

Olde Curiosity Shoppe Tissue Box:

Wonderful 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Giant Gears 
Foliage Set 12
Cassie Flourish
Frame Flourish 5
Frame Madeline Flourish
Francesca's Journal Frames

I altered most of my chippies with some white gesso then for the frames I used my aqua & alcohol markers in different colours. Normally I love to add a bunch of phrases & words but for this one I used none which was a huge test for me lol...

For the giant gears I altered those with some brown rust paste after I primed them with two layers of white gesso. After that I added two of them on top of each other with some glue and a huge brad to add some demension. The tabs Vanessa made for my I left them in their raw state which look the best on my box.  

Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project soon hope to see you back then....

"Creepy & Cute" by Amy Voorthuis

 Hello sweet 2Crafty friends, 

I am so happy you are here with us today....this time I bring you some mixed media inspiration. This panel was created with all gorgeous 2Crafty chippies and some moulds it was made for a challenge with the theme "Creepy & Cute. I off course used a picture of Abbey as a little baby for the cute part.

Creepy & Cute: 

 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Anna's Flourish
Cassie's Flourishes 
Flourish Adornment Set 5
Foliage Set 6
Steampunk Gears Medium
Steampunk Gears Small
Mini Word Set 3

I altered some of the chipboard pieces with black gesso {on the creepy side} then I added some waxes that I brushed on them. On the other pieces I used white gesso and on some of them sprays {which I blow dried} and on the others some effect paste. The spraying gives it such a fun effect like water drops.

On the beautiful "Cassie's Flourishes" I added a layer of crushed ice effect paste to make it sparkle a little bit, but it is not really visible on the pictures sadly. To finish my work I added some flowers & white spray. 

Thank you so much for your visit today and if you would like to see more of my work please visit here:
