'Love'

Hello 2 Crafty fans! 

Rachael Funnell with you to share my second bit of June 

inspiration with you, this layout featuring my gorgeous girl & myself...

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used: 

Fine script word - Love

Lace heart frame

Doodled arrows

Delicate butterfly

Pointed doily frame

Firstly I added some Prima Wax - 'Blue Lagoon to the beautiful 

Fine script word - Love and then finished it off with 

inking over the wax with Distress Oxide 'broken china' ink...

The EVER SO GORGEOUS Lace heart frame

(which would be 1 of my ALL time favorite chipboard pieces)

had been given 2 coats of gesso...

Also! I gave 2 coats of gesso to the these 

SUPER CUTE Doodled arrows and 

some then ended up getting some blue splatters!!

Using the larger Pointed doily frame, I first cut in half then inked half 

with Distress Oxide 'Dusty Concord (light purple) and the other half

with Distress Oxide 'Broken Chain' (light blue)

And lastly with the Delicate butterfly, I started with given 3 coats of gesso

then with my finger & Distress Oxide 'Dusty Concord (light purple)

 rubbing ever so lightly onto  the tips of the wings..

I am very happy with how this page has turned out...

Hopefully you liked and were inspired into some way as well!

Until next time....  x

Karine's October share + video tutorial

Dear crafty friends,

It's Karine here today to share with you two layouts

. The first one is called «Love» and it features my brother's family.

I love this picture of them.

 My brother seems so happy and in love, that I wanted to show that in my layout.

To do so, I started with the Love Heart Frames, that I embossed with a dark brown

 embossing powder. It was my focal piece.

To give more texture to my layout, I used pieces of the Grid Panel, embossed in copper. 

I placed those pieces here and there, behind my embellishments clusters.

I also used one of the Fine Heart Borders and cut it in pieces.

I embossed them with a gold embossing powder and placed them here and there, 

over my flowers, in a curved shape. I love the effect.

My title piece is the word «Love» from the Line Words - Happiness Borders. I used 

the same copper embossing powder than before to emboss it.

Some other close-ups...

I created a video tutorial for this layout. Enjoy.

Line Words - Happiness Borders

My second layout is called «Family» and it features my two kids with their cousin.

This time, my focal piece is the title.

I embossed the «Family» title with a turquoise embossing powder, to go with my mixed media background.

I decided my picture needed some kind of framing, si I choose one of the 6'' Circle Revolution Frames and embossed it a deep teal color.

Just peeking from underneath my flowers clusters are the Mini Branches, also embossed
 with a deep teal embossing powder.

I love the effect against the background.

I then selected the Leafy Silhouettes, embossed the same turquoise embossing powder
 than before and scattered them around my flowers clusters.

I love the delicate shape of those Leafy Silhouettes.

I hope you like my layouts.

Have a nice day.

Tammy's May Shares

Good morning 2 Crafties!!
 

Today I'm sharing a couple of layouts with you.
 

The first one is titled:
 

"Love"

 

This one is about documenting a guest book I created for a very special wedding we attended. 
I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to create it and really wanted to have a memory of this.

 

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

"Polaroid Assortment Frames"

"Frame Viney Circles"

"Lace Heart Frames"

"Love Loopy Font Title"

"Grid Bits"

"ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars"

"Flower Doilies"

I applied white gesso to the "Grid Bits", a "Viney Circle Frame" and to the 

"Love Loopy Title".  I then added white paint. 

 I decided to keep them plain white as a contrast to the dark background paper.

 

 

 

I tucked a few "Polaroid Assorted Frames" into my clusters - these I heat embossed 

with a gorgeous shabby chic metallic emboss powder.

 

 

 

I also tucked in a few of the gorgeous "Flower Doilies". 

I applied white gesso to these and then added a gold spritz to give them a slight colour/glow.

 

 

 

I added a "Lace Heart Frame" and decided to leave this plain - as the raw colour really complemented the layout and also I had added a lot of white chipboard to that particular area,

 so it contrasted with those pieces nicely.

 

 

Finally to bring out the touch of red in the layout, I painted a few little hearts from the  

"ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars" in a red colour and scattered these around the layout.

 

 

 

 

I did a lot of layering and clustering in this layout, and unlike my usual style of bright, 

full-on colour,  I was very controlled and added just a splash of colour here and there.

 

 

My next share for this month for 2Crafty is titled:

"Adore"

A page about the mutual love and adoration between my son and our pet kitty. (So Cute!)

 

 

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

"Fine Word Set 1"

"6" Revolution Frame"

"Polaroid Assorted Frames"

"Circle Frames"

"Mini Sampler Set 1"

"Triangle Set"

"Chain Lengths"

This page is more to my usual style - bold colour!

I couldn't stay away from it for too long!

I painted the title 'adore' from the "Fine Word Set 1" black, as I did some of the

 "Circle Frames" and also the smaller circles from the "Mini Sampler Set 1".

 

 

I love how black contrasts with bold colour.

 

 

I applied gesso to the "Chain Lengths" and also the "6" Revolution Frame".

 

I also applied gesso to some of the "Polaroid Assorted Frames" and then I stamped 

onto these using a mini chevron pattern and black ink. 

I wanted these to look a bit artsy - definitely not perfect, so I just stamped randomly

 without thinking about how even it was. 

 

 

I added some pieces of scrap paper to the "Triangle Set".

I love how this adds a bit more colour to the layout.

 

 

 

So that's it from me this month!

I hope you are inspired to get your scrappy on!
