Happy Place
By Marie Claude Rodier

 Hello everyone,

Today, I want to show a special project I’ve been working on recently... a mixed media birdhouse! I wasn’t sure about it at first, but I in the end, I had a blast and and couldn’t stop adding details here and there. It’s super easy to integrate chipboards to this kind of project. They add so much detail to any ordinary objects. As you will see, I used quite a bunch of 2Crafty beauties for this project. 

Happy Place


A piece of ATC Picket Fence was glued to one side of the house after being painted in light brown. Highlights details were created with teal and white acrylic paints.


Two pieces of Frame Georgian ornate the holes. A small piece of Element Set 1 was glued to the roof.
All three chipboards were painted with light teal acrylic, shadowed with dark teal and highligthed with brown and white paints.


Happy Place was cut out from of one 6x4 Phrase Sticks Set 2 and dry washed with white gesso.


A pair of hinges from Hinges Pack was glued to one side of the birdhouse.


Keys from Key holes & locks were covered with bronze wax and highlighted with gesso.

'Forever In My Heart'
Layout by Rachael Funnell




Hello 2 Crafty fans!
Today I have another layout to share 
and I have used some FABULOUS 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces.


Key holes & locks
Fine word set 1
6x6 Wing Set 1
Forever in my Heart
2018
Foilage set 8

Keeping it all quite simple with the treatment
 to these chipboard pieces,
 inking them all with different coloured inks...


For the Title 'Forever in my Heart' I inked with 
a burgandy ink..
Did the same with the Fine word - 'Treasure'


The Key & 2018 I have inked with Brown..

For the Foilage I inked with yellow then cut them
into smaller pieces placing them thoughout my layers...


The heart frame is actually a negative piece
from the Frame handdrawn heart... 
Which I think works really beautifully as a frame too..
 I also inked with yellow....


Lastly is the gorgeous wing peeking out from the right side of my photo...
(These 6x6 Wing Sets would have too be still one of my ALL TIME Favourite chipboard)
I rubbed this ever so lightly with the yellow ink...

Thank you for stopping by
Until next time.

HAPPY Crafting!!!
