'Extraordinary' by Emma Zappone

Hello everyone.
Hope today finds you well.
Today I share with you a more vintage/grandma feel layout.

I used awesome chipboard elements.......

Mini Decorative Frames
Magnolia Stems
Kara's Oval Frame

This page I kept the finishes simple on the chipboard, because I wanted that vintage brown tone.
So I simply clear embossed all the pieces, which darkened the chipboard up just perfectly.

Both the frames sit beautifully around my page, woven amongst the paper layers.

The stunning Magnolia stem has been trimmed to fit into 3 locations complimenting the frames.

I love clear embossing the chipboard as it details all the scoring and delicateness of the pieces.

I do hope you enjoyed my share today.
I look forward to seeing you next month.

Till then, stay Crafty, Em xx

 

'With Brave Wings She Flies' Journal Cover with Lisa Amiet

Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share some 2Crafty inspiration with you.

For this post, I have decorated a journal / album cover with some
of the gorgeous 2Crafty designs that perfectly suited my papers. 

This is the front cover of the journal.

This is the back cover. 

2Crafty products used:

I have used a set of the 'Angel Wings' for my fairy,

which I have embossed in a gold glitter.

I have also used one of the 'Field Mushrooms' clusters in the corner, 

that I have coloured with watercolour paints, 

and finished with some glitter gold embossing to the dots. 

On the back cover, 

I have used two of the small hinges from the 'Hinges Pack',

that I have finished with watercolour paints,

 and a slight gold embossing powder to parts of the hinge. 

I then used the 'Kara's Oval Frame',

again finished in gold glitter embossing powder,

to frame the rose element from my papers. 

Lastly I have used one of the 'Clock Face Discs',

finished with glitter gold embossing powder, tucked into my layers.

I am really happy with how this cover turned out, 

now I just need to fill it with some splashes of colour.

Until next time!

"Sweet Moment" Layout and tutorial video by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Here we are already in May, and it is time to present my first inspiration. 

A layout with mochromatic, pink and romantic decor. 

"Sweet Moment" 

I made a video tutorial that you can watch HERE

The 2Crafty chipboard used:

- Sweet Moment

- Kara's Oval Frame

- Feather Outline Set

I always start by applying a layer of white gesso to each chipboard.

I chose this new chipboard  "Kara’s Oval Frame" which perfectly frames my photo on which I pass a layer of metal wax "White Gold" to stay in the colors of the mane of the horse. 

I process the same way on the chipboards "Feather Outline Set". 

After placing my photo I create two clusters of embellishments starting with the feathers while being careful not to hide them. They’re so fine and elegant.

For the title I embellish it randomly with powder to emboss in shades of pink.  

For this I use a stamp with stains that I print with watermark ink.

I hope that all this pink will not hurt your eyes too much and that you will find some 

inspiration in this layout.

To know how I created this layout, do not hesitate to watch the video. 

See you soon and thank you again for your loyalty.

Marie
