Rach with you today sharing another bit of

 2 Crafty Chipboard inspiration... 

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

2018

Fine flower adornment set 1

Indian feathers

Dream in Color

This layout came together quite quickly really, which I love..

I did a simple but effective treatment to the chipboard

and gave all of the pieces 2 coats of gesso...

The Indian Feathers & the 2018 

amongst the strong bright colors

looks gorgeous don't you think....

 The title Dream in Color & Fine Flower Adornment from set 1 in white 

against the B&W photo and the pops of color, I think works so well together...

That's it from me, thanks for stopping by & Until next time

'Create' layout by Rachael Funnell

 

Hello everyone!

Rach with you today sharing some more 2 Crafty inspiration...

where I have created this fun, little girly, little grungy, mixed media page.

And have included some great 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces.

2 Crafty Chipboard:

NEW Mini Scissors set

ATC - words 1

Aztec feathers

Mini Fob watches

Indian feathers

Starting with the super cute Mini Fob watch,

where I have ever so lightly added a coat of gesso...

Make sure not to take away any detail to the watch.

Next up is the Aztec feather, that I have partly sitting 

underneath my photo. Again using some gesso,

 I have given this feather 2 coats.

Also given 2 coats of gesso to the Indian feathers, 

and finished them off by blending a little bit of teal ink 

Lastly! For my title 'Create' & the New Mini Scissor I have sitting next right next to it.

Going with the same process by adding 2 coats of gesso, then inking the 'Create' 

with brown & the Mini Scissor, inking it lightly with an apricot.

Thanks for stopping by, 

I hope you have a FABULOUS week

'Magical' ..... a layout by Tammy Klingner

Hi there 2Crafty ones..... Tam here today to share my latest creation.

It's titled:

'Magical'

This layout captures my daughter and her girlfriend as they headed off to a Formal.

They were hamming it up for the camera as they anticipated the magical night ahead of them!

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

"6" Mandala No 3"

"Fine Word Set 2"

"Dreamcatchers"

"Indian Feathers"

"Soft Feather Set"

I created a Dreamcatcher using the new 6" Mandala No 3.

To achieve the effect, I added white gesso, and then rubbed some rust coloured ink over it.

I made sure this was random as I really wanted some of the white to show through.

I then added some teal coloured acrylic paint in various sections. 

I love the look I achieved!

I repeated the process with the 'Indian Feathers' and also the 'Soft Feather Set'.

On some I used more rust, and on others I used more teal.

Once dry, I went over the top of the feathers with a white gel pen, adding a few dots and details.

This really made them 'pop'.

I again repeated this process on the 'Dreamcatcher'.

I positioned one next to my photos, and added another to the edge of the layout, to create balance.

I also added a few beads to enhance the 'bohemian theme'.

For my title, I used the word 'Magical' from the 'Fine Word Set 2', as it just suited the layout so perfectly.

I added a rust ink to this and added it the top of my photos.

I just love all the layers, and adore those colours together!

That mix of chipboard feathers and real feathers just makes my heart so happy!

I love that 2Crafty Chipboard is so adaptable!! 

It can become any colour I want it to be, so it ties in perfectly with the layout and the story.

That's it from me today......

I'll see you all again in December! (seriously December, that's CRAZY)

Until then you can always see more on my BLOG .

Luv Tam

"Treasure" by Sabrina Turpin

Hi 2Crafty friends!

Today I would like to share with you a layout I just completed that features my daughter
 Mila, having just undone her braids. Now proud of her wavy hair as we're visiting an
 indoor surf center. I wanted to prepare a fitting layout, with a warm, Hawaiian feel.

For the title, "Treasure", part of the "Fine Word Set 1", I used a shabby white embossing enamel.

  For the "Dreamcatchers" chipboard, behind the picture, I used a bronze embossing powder.

For the "Foliage Set 3", I used a blue-gold opaline paint and inked the board with a black ink.

On the "Indian Feathers", at the top-left of the flowers, I roughly applied black ink on the

 contours while leaving the chipboards their natural color. For the other "Indian Feathers",

 on each side of the title, I used rose-gold wax and traced the groves with a black ink pen. 

I also inked the border of the feathers with black ink.

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

Indian Feather M00469

Fine Word Set 1 M00656

Dreamcatchers M00570

Foliage Set 3 M00569

That's all for today! I hope you like the result and that it inspired you for
 your own creations! See you soon with more ideas!
