Hello, loveBy Marie Claude Rodier

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Valentine day is around the corner and for the occasion I created a little canevas 

using several thematic 2Crafty chipboards.

 "Hello Love"

I started by randomly applying modeling paste through two stencils on my canvas.
Then, I base coated it and all the pieces with white gesso.
Thereafter, I glued everything in place using medium gel.

I wanted to created an ombre effect, and to do so, I started by appling a thick layer of pink acrylic paint in the middle of my canevas. I then sprayed water on it to create drips at the top and the bottom.

Once the pink paint was dry, I repeated the same process with red paint 

mainly around "Hello Love title".

Finally, I dry brushed white gesso on top of everything to create contrast.

October Inspiration + VIDEO Tutorial By Kareen Dion

Hello everyone!

It's Kareen with you today and it's time to share some October inspiration!

Well, as summer ended here in Canada... I'm so not ready for Winter.

But I love fall, my favorite season!! 

Anyways, today, I'm sharing with you, two layouts.

The first layout is one with my daughter. I took this picture this Summer. 

She has such a bright and contagious smile.

I used the stunning Handdrawn Feathers, they are so gorgeous!!

I love them!! I also used the Grid Bits which I embossed in a teal color.

I think it enhances the layout. Finally I used the title Shine from the Fine Word Set 2.

"Shine"

The word Shine from the Fine Word Set 2 has been embossed in white. 

I love how curly and feminine this looks.

For the Grid Bits, I also embossing them with a green/teal powder. 

It matches perfectly the rest of my page.

And the Handdrawn Feathers!! Also so feminine, perfect for this layout.

For my second layout, I think I gave it a summer style without even thinking about it!

The picture is with the godmother of my daughter and with my son. I cherish her a lot, 

she's more than family, but also a very close friend.

For this layout I used the Climbing Rose Bush, which I cut in pieces.

I wanted to do a cluster style around my picture. I add the Lattice Leaf Set 

and I finally used the Hello Love chipboard as a title. 

"Hello Love"

I put a layer of white gesso on the Climbing Rose Bush
and then I used white embossing powder.

For the Lattice Leaf Set, I begin with a layer of white paint, 

then pink paint and finished with holographic embossing powder.

I did the same thing with the Hello Love title as the Lattice Leaf Set.
