"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.

Freda's Butterflies [m00587]

Isn't She Lovely [w00536]

Glenda's Swirl [pa0034]

4" Mandala #1 [m00786]

Fancy Damasque [m00564]

That's all for me today!
 I hope this gave you some inspiration for your own creations.
 I'll be back soon with new ideas to share.

"March Inspiration" by Kareen Dion

Hello everyone! 

It's my turn this month to inspire you!

To get out of this boring snowy winter, I decided to make a layout of my little cat Chester and I.

I used Groovy Flowers, Glenda's Swirls, Because When You Stop title 

and Asst Arrows chipboards....

The title "Because When You Stop" is embossed with the frantage embossing powder,
I love them because they give several tones!! I love the result!

The Glenda's Swirls and Groovy Flowers are also embossed with black powder.
 I added gold glitter on them to enlighted the chipboards.

I also embossed with the frantage the little arrow from the Asst Arrows.

2Crafty Chipboard used : 

- Because When You Stop title

- Groovy Flowers

- Glenda's Swirls

- Asst. Arrows

------------------------------

For my second layout, I did a simple layout with less dimensions.

As my background paper was more intense, I did not want to lose it.

I used the Clock Face Frames, the Asst Arrows and the Line Words - Happiness Borders.

The Clock Face Frames is white embossed to contrast with the background.

The "Good Day" Line Words - Happiness Borders is embossing with
embossing powder and I added a little bit of white gesso on it.

And to finish  my layout I used the Asst Arrows. It's super versatile, I love them!

2Crafty Chipboards used : 

- 6" Clock Face Frames

- Line Words - Happiness Borders

- Asst Arrows

Thank you for stopping by and see you soon!

March Inspiration By Debbie

Hi everyone!
 Debbie here with you today with my March layouts. This post is lengthy as I have
 three layouts to share along with a photo tutorial..

"Together"

My first layout I made for a special friend of mine which features lots of 2Crafty Chipboard!
 I based it off the current challenge over at More Than Words March Challenge.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Foliage Cluster
Frame Celia's
Mini Word Set 2
Leafy Shrub Set 2

I love the mixture of embossing powders I used on the Foliage Cluster and Frame Celia's,
 a mixture of black and bright blue.

Tucked beneath the flowers I used a piece from the Leafy Shrub Set 2,
embossed with a couple shades of green.

I kept the title simple, applying some pink ink. It is part of the Mini Word Set 2.

"Precious"

My second layout features a sweet vintage picture of a little girl I found on Pinterest. I'm guest designing at 'Picture This Challenges' this month and created the layout for their March challenge.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Climbing Rose Bush
Mini Word Set 2
Lacey Border

I embossed the Climbing Rose Bush chipboard with a mushroom powder and cut it into
 a few pieces and placed it on both side of the picture.

I used a piece from the Lacey Border Set which I cut into four pieces and embossed  with a
 mixture of Mushroom and Pink embossing powders and placed the pieces around the picture.

Here you can see more of the Climbing Rose Bush chipboard.



My third layout includes a picture tutorial.
 I ran into some technical difficulties at video taping.

"Magical"

I found this photo on Pinterest and was felt like I was taken to a magical place.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Corner Alison's
Glenda's Swirl
Dandelions
Fine Word Set 2

A few closeups:

Magical from the Fine Word Set 2 & Corner Alison's.

Dandelions and  Corner Alison's.

I have not quite yet mastered the art of video tutorials, so I have a
step by step photo process for you:....

Step 1:  Spray background paper with blue and brown mists.
 Add paint splatters and some random stamping.

Step 2:  Emboss chipboard pieces.

Step 3:  Adhere decorative transparency and some of the
chipboard pieces.

Step 4:  Add picture, flowers and feather.

Step 5:  Add additional chipboard pieces and more flowers.

Step 6:  Add additional feather, butterflies and chipboard title
along with some microbeads and glass glitter.


I hope I have inspired you today.
Thanks for stopping by!
