"Love you Millons" layout created by Rachael Funnell

Hello 2 Crafty fans

Rach with you sharing my first bit of October inspro with you..

This girly, grungy layout....

I just love this selfie I took of myself with my daughter back in 2013

 & with the Uniquely Creative - Steampunk Graffiti paper collection 

& of course some fabulous 2 Crafty Chipboard I was able to create this layout...

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

6x4  phrase stick set 4

Graceful Butterflies

Fine word set 1

Tribal Arrows

2013

Let's start with the Tribal Arrow I have sitting underneath my title...

which I was inspired by the pastel colors in these papers and used all Tim Holtz - Distress Oxide inks,

I've inked the Arrow with Broken China, this nice blue color...

Then for my title, I've inked the Love you millons with Seedless Preserves, 

the always from the Fine word set 1 with Fossilized Amber 

And of course it just wouln't be my kind of layout with adding the year 😀

Inking the 2013 with a brown ground espresso...

Lastly for the gorgeous Graceful Butterfly, I couldn't decide what color to ink

it so I went with all 3, Seedless Preserves, Fossilized Amber and Broken China..

I just adore this layout and I hope I have inspired you in some way...

Thanks for stopping by

Until next time

'Love'

Hello Everyone!

Rach with you to share two layouts for July....

My first layout 'Love' has lots of gorgeous chipboard!

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

Graceful butterfly

ATC - Tiny Butterflies

Indian Feathers

Hibiscus

Love flourish

Jewellery Strands

The 'Love Flourish' has a thick coat of gesso & finished off with some fine splatters of blue...

The delicate 'Jewellery Strands' have a very light coat of gesso, cut in half &
 placed top & bottom of the photo of my girl......

The gorgeous 'Graceful Butterfly' has a couple of coats of gesso,
then inked with a Distress Dark blue ink....

The 'Hibiscus' also has a coat of gesso & then inked with a Distress pale pink....
 Finished with some blue fine splatters & micro beads & beads.

The 'Indian feathers' have a coat of gesso & inked the edges with a teal ink....

'Capture'

'Capture' layout which features one of my nephew's....

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

Bubble words
Domino tiles
Mixed buttons
Polaroid frame
Mini word set 1 (Capture word)
Funky Arrows

On my background & underneath my photo is a negative chipboard piece for a extra
 dimension layer, then I have placed some Domino tiles on & around this negative piece,
 then given all this chipboard a light coat of gesso....
To create a bit more interest to the background I have inked 3 of the domino's with yellow ink!!

I have added a couple of the Funky arrows which have been inked black!

With the Mixed Buttons, I wanted them to stand out & have heat embossed them with a white....

The bubble word (COOL) where I have cut away the triangle piece & the Capture word
 from the Mini Word Set #1 both have a couple of coats of gesso....

For the Polaroid frame, I started by giving it a coat of gesso, once dried I gave it a
spray with a royal blue mist & adhering the frame it to the photo!

Hopefully I've inspired you in some way....
THANKS for visiting us today!!

'Decide to' - Canvas

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I have used on 'Decide to' Canvas...  

  With my Canvas I wanted to frame this fabulous inspiring quote & thought the  very funky 'Art deco' frame would work perfectly....I didn't want to loss the detail  on the frame so I gave it just light coat of gesso & finished it of with some turquoise color!!    

  This 6' clock face frame has a coat of gesso & it ended up also getting some black splatters...   

 I cut a 12x12 Circular board piece into smaller pieces & inked with black ink!

Also I gave both ATC - Design elements & Checkerboard clumps a coat of gesso,

 then inked the ATC - Design elements with purple ink...  

  I then inked some Checkerboard clumps pieces pink, teal & left some white.....  

With this 'Graceful butterly' I gave it a couple of coats of gesso, 
 then sprayed it with some pink mist....

  I removed the circle from the attitude word & inked it black.......       For my second project is this layout....
'Go See Do Explore'

  2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I have used on this layout......  

  I didn't want to over power my photo & have used a couple of the 'Asst arrows'   & the words Go See Do Explore from the 'Mini Travel words set 1'   I left these pieces raw... I think it worked perfectly!   

  I"m a REALLY BIG FAN of using negative/leftover pieces. Here  peaking out the  sides is a negative/leftover piece from the Interlocking grid panel... I gave it a good  coat of gesso & then added splatters of black & teal then.....  If your like me & love to have layers & dimension in your layouts I think its a great way to used up these pieces....  :)  

  Also! I gave a couple of  6' Circle revolution frames a coat of gesso....  

  Added black ink to some Mini & Medium sized Steampunk gears...  

Here the 'Asst Arrows' have good coat of gesso .... Most pieces have ended up getting
some splatters of black & teal, which is a nice finishing touch I think.....

  Before I go I have two more layouts to share....  Both are for 2 Crafty Chipboard DT guest designing  over at CSI. (Colors, Stories, ( Inspiration Blog) as Guest Detectives...... I was inpsired to solve Case File No 194
