May Inspiration - Layout- VIDEO TUTORIAL -Katja/Mezzanotte

"Happy"
PLUS a Video tutorial

Happiness is to create and also to create with old vintage family photos. It is a lovely way 
 to cherish memories. Here in this photo you can see my grandmother and she looks really
 happy. I dont know the year. But it is my way to cherish the memories.

 I have created some texture on the background and around the photo I have
 used some lovely 2Crafty Chipboard.

I have used the "Frame Celias Flourish" around the photo.

 The chipboard title "Happy  Loopy" is very useful to many projects.
 And behind my frame you  see "Flower Doilies 3"

 Also the leaves "Leafy Silhouettes" are gorgeous and I love
 when they are sticking out from the paperflowers.

"Create"

I have made a small album, love small books to be creative in.

So the title "Create" is from the "Arrow word Set" is perfect for my mini album, and of
 course we need to have a butterfly, "Addys Butterflies" with some gesso and also some glitter.

The border is from a set "Lacey Border Set" and it match the canvas.

January Inspiration by Jaya Raghuvanshi

Hello 2Crafty Fans!

This is Jaya here today and I have two layouts to share with you all. I hope you will
 like them and will be inspired to try out these with the gorgeous 2Crafty Chippies.

"Happy"

 Some close ups-

I just absolutely love creating some sort of flowing pattern in my
pages and the 2Crafty chippies help me so much in this!.
Look how beautifully the leafy flourishes tie up the whole page. Absolutely
 love them. The chippies have been covered in white paint and I used
watercolors and mist to give them a hint of color.

2Crafty chippies used-
Hand-drawn Heart Frames Happy Loopy font
6" Clock face frame
Leaf Shrub set 3

My next layout is

" A Moment To Treasure"

Some close ups-

 I had so much fun making this grungy page with loads of mixed media techniques.
I absolutely... absolutely love the way the chippies helped me tie up the whole page.
It was way easier than it looks. Believe me!.

I covered the chippies in black gesso and used Prima waxes to highlight a few areas.
The chain chippie has also been covered in Bronze wax.

June Layouts By Rachael Funnell

'Happy'

  Hello 2 Crafty fans, Rachael with you sharing a couple of layouts I created for this month...   Before I continue...

Please remember while your here be sure you have

become a blog follower & leave a blog comment to
be eligible to go in our monthly draw for a great chippie prize pack.

These are the 2 Crafty chipboard I have used on my first layout
 'Happy'

I decided to use up some negative/leftover piece from the 'Chervon bits'..
Gave then a light coat of gesso & cut & layered underneath photo...

 Not to take away any of the details of the arrow & feather from the 'Western set' 
I gave the arrow a light coat of gesso & the feather a light coat of blue ink...

 ATC - Tiny Stars I just inked black so they would stand out a little more!

Added a couple coats of gesso to the loopy font 'Happy' a little blue mist. I still wanted
the blue to be a bit stronger... SO! I colored it with Artline permanent blue maker..
Was very happy (hehehe) how it turned out!

Cut this 'Tattoo Swirl' into 2 pieces, added a coat of gesso & finished it off with a
thick layer of Fabrika Decoru - Texture Paste with sand!
LOOKS GREAT HEY...

********************

' ♥ 2 Dance'

For my 2nd layout these are the 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used.

After adding a layer of gesso to this '♥ 2 Dance' piece from the '6x6 dance theme sheet'

 I added red using a mist to the ♥ ,  finishing this off with adding some teal ink to the

 bottom half of the word dance!

Gave these Stars which are also from the '6x6 dance theme sheet' a coat of gesso & 

 Fabrika Decoru - Texture Paste with sand! 

This 'Juliet heart' has a coat of gesso & finished it of with some red mist....

I thought this 'Flying Bird' would stand out better sitting on the teal flower with adding

 a coat of gesso! Did the same to the 'Circle Heart frame' that is sitting over the photo!

Adding coat of gesso & Teal, Red & black water colors to finish this 'Wing' ....

  

To the 'Indian Feathers' & 'Soft Feathers' have a light coat of gesso & then while

 the gesso was still wet added some gold & pink glitter! 

Thank you for stopping by to check out my projects for this month!
Hope you were inspired in someway...  :)
