Christmas Gift Boxes by Elena Martynova

Hello everyone! Elena here. 

Today is my last post for 2Crafty. It has been such an amazing 3 years 

creating with such a wonderful product. It was great adventure and 

honor to work in this team :) 

I share with you my last inspirations for 2Crafty.

These are three boxes for Christmas gifts. I used leftover paper from various collections. 

These are mainly collections of 49 and Market and Eco Park.

The main decoration of the first box is a deer with luxurious horns.

I decorated the chipboard Xmas Deer Head with acrylic paints of warm Golden shades

 and  embossing powder . The edges of the chipboard were slightly smeared with white paint

 to create a snow-covered effect.

Between the layers I slipped a frame from set Frames Tiny Funky

You can put a notebook, a book, sweets and many other gifts in the box.

The second box is also decorated with a deer, a frame and a beautiful chip

 with curls Hariet's Border

I drew small spots on the back of the deer to make it more realistic.

I put a picture of Santa Claus in the frame.

The third box is decorated with a very beautiful Christmas inscription The Magic of Christmas.

Under the inscription, I added elegant curls of chipboard Maggie's Swirl .

2Crafty chippies were useful to me in this boxes:

''Gorgeous''

Hi chippie lovers!! Sandra back with you today with an another layout with a
video tutorial & featuring my ''little'' daughter.

It's so easy to create when you have great pictures and great stuff like these beautiful chipboards...

circle lace panel

I started with some clear gesso in order to play with distress oxyde and water
 on my background, then I used a stencil and a brown color from the distress oxide.

I partially embossed my pieces of circle lace panel and then also used them to paint
 the same color of distress oxide that I used on my background.

I colored my Flourish 2 with my other color of distress oxide.

I left my title from Fine word set 2  the original raw color of chipboard.

I placed my pieces and my various textures in some layers. I then added some drips
of ink and gesso with water, like I always do.

''Dream a Little Dream''

For my second layout this month, I used a picture from my other daughter. My children
 are always great models for me...Ok ok, I'm not balanced, but they are beautiful, aren't they?

My 2Crafty products used:

Dream a little dream

butterflies

Hariet's border

Leafy silhouettes

For this layout, I played with green distress oxyde through a
 flowers stencil, then I stamped here and there.

I also stamped with my green distress oxide over my Hariet's border

I used a rub on to make some movement. I just rubbed my 

distress oxyde pad on my Dream a litte dream title

I embossed my butterflies and some of my leafy silhouettes with a white and turquoise embossing powder.  The other leafy silhouettes have been embossed with green embossing powder.

I hope I gave you some ideas to create...

Thanks and see you in September...
