"All Smiles" by Amy Voorthuis

Hello everyone, 
I just can't believe we are already in the second week of 2024! I hope you all had a lovely time with family & friends during this festive season.
 I am delighted that you are here with us today I want to thank every single one of you who always comment on our work for 2Crafty Chipboard on Instagram & Facebook. Your comments mean a lot to me personally....lately I haven't had my mojo in one line with my creativity. But for today I got that back a little so I'd like to show you a layout made with one of the new Prima collections and lot's of gorgeous 2Crafty Chippies enjoy my post.....

All Smiles: 

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Half Circle Flourish Frame
Elegant Flourishes
Foliage Set 11
ATC Word Banner Set 1
All Smiles Title
Mini Word Set 2

You know what's amazing, you can order directly from the
2Crafty website here so you can also play with their amazing chipboard pieces.

I used a older picture of Abbey and me that I thought would go great with the title
"All Smiles"! All the chipboard pieces are treated with a layer of white gesso.
 For the "Half Circle Flourish Frame" and "Elegant Flourishes" I added a
 clear text stamp with some brown ink. 

I also used the brown ink for the edges of the "All Smiles" phrase and the ATC banner
 and for the last one I highlighted the word with a gel pen. The foliage was
 treated witth some green acrylic paint and some white matte wax. In the end
 I added some crystal drops to the circles on the flourish frame & some white spray paint. 

  Thank you so much for your visit today and if you would like

"Perfection" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Like every first of the month, I meet you to present my inspiration created

with our wonderful chipboard. 

With this picture of my grandchildren I chose these chipboard that inspire their sweetness.

"Perfection"

The 2Crafty Chipboard used :

- Mini Word Set 3

- Half Circle Flourish Frame

- Angel-Wings

As always I apply a layer of white gesso on each chipboard.

To embellish the chipboard "Half Circle Flourish Frame" I used white and golden embossing powder. 

For my layout, I first arranged my photo in layers with cardboard and die-cuts to give volume.

I stick the chipboard on my photo that shows every detail and gives a feeling of being rocked.

For the title I simply added a layer of powder to emboss "holographic".

I end by adding this angel wing that I find perfect to harmonize with my photo.

To recall the gold of the chipboard, I add on the bottom of my page touches of powder 

to emboss white and gold.

I hope you will like this layout, very simple to reality.

Thank you again for visiting us.

it with some foam/dimension tape...

Next I have added two halves of the flower doilies. 

Firstly given them a coat of gesso,

 before inking this with the same pastel pink as the bird!!

Now onto the title 'Shine Bright'

I first gave it a coat of gesso then finished

it with inking parts of the title with no other color, but yellow.... 

Next up I have added 3 Indian feathers..

I started with inking them with yellow ink, then finishing the off 

with rubbing the centres with rose gold wax,

 before adding them into my flower clusters....

Then a couple of pieces from the Foilage set 8, 

where I firstly gave the foilage pieces two coats 

of gesso, before cutting these into even smaller foilage pieces, 

and also adding these thoughout my flower clusters... 

Lastly is this delicate gorgeous Filigree arrow.

Inking this beauty with a purple & attaching this onto my flower cluster...
