"enjoy" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I’m happy to be back today to share my second inspiration for August.

For this layout, I chose a photo taken this summer of Mia and Leo, my grandchildren, surrounded by their cousins. Together, from the youngest to the oldest, they create such a lovely scene full of fun and togetherness, which was perfect for a summer and vacation-themed layout.

To complement the photo, I chose several words from the 6X6 Summertime Sheets to create my title, along with some beach-inspired elements from the Fishing Net Bits. I also used a piece from the Industriel Spring Set to add a graphic line and some dimension to my design.

2Crafty Chipboard used:

6x6-summertime-sheets

fishing-net-bits

industrial-spring-set

As always, I started by applying a thin layer of white gesso to the chipboards to prepare the surface before adding color. 

The Fishing Net Bits were left white after the gesso application and tucked among the embellishments, perfectly complementing the seaside atmosphere.

For the Industrial Spring Set, I used Distress Oxide Stormy Sky, with a touch of Faded Jeans to highlight the details, then placed it underneath the photo to add a subtle graphic element and a little dimension to the layout.

For the words from the 6X6 Summertime Sheets, I used Distress Oxide Stormy Sky, then lightly highlighted some of the edges with Faded Jeans. For SPLASH, I added a touch of Salty Ocean to make it stand out and echo the shades of the sea.

I then played with the placement of the different words around the photo. The variety of fonts on the sheet adds lots of energy to the title and enhances the fun and spontaneous feel of the layout.

I hope this layout inspires you and gives you some ideas for using 2Crafty Chipboards
 in your own creations.

Unofficial Beach Bum - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!
I am back today to share a beachy layout of our oldest when he was young!

2Crafty Products used:

6" Circle revolution frame
Cattail Shrub
6x6 Circle Frame set
Unofficial Beach Bum
Anchors
Seaweed
Industrial Spring Set

I wanted to keep with the grungy feel and colours of the paper.  After prepping the chipboard with white gesso I layered distress ink in scorched timber, uncharted mariner and faded jeans then spritzed with water and repeated until I achieved the look I wanted.

For the title I used steampunk sepia mist then heat embossed with cafe au lait embossing powder

I layered fussy cut images with the chipboard dies stones.

Thanks for stopping by

Handsome - Laura Gilhuly

Hi everyone!

I am back to share another layout I created of my wonderful husband!

2Crafty Products used;

Chevron Bits

Steampunk Collage

Handsome Title

Circle Dot Frames (I used the negative part)

Industrial Spring

Filmstrip medium

Steampunk Gears Medium

I wanted the title to stand out against the busy background so I simply heat embossed it black.

The gears, spring, collage, chevrons and filmstrip I wanted to be grungy and have an industrial feel.  To accomplish this I painted each piece with white gesso and once dry I added some heavy texture paste.  Once the paste was dry I layered colors using oranges, browns, greys and black spray mist then I inked the outside edges.

Love the rustic feel of these pieces which suit my theme perfectly.

Hope you like my page and I've inspired you to get crafty today.

Thanks for stopping by
