"Just You" Canvas by Marie Sabatier

Despite the difficult situation in which we currently live, it is important to continue to live by helping ourselves morally with our families, our friends, our occupations.

I hope that my first creation of this month of April will bring you a little inspiration to make you want to create.

I chose to create a canvas with this magnificent "Corner Heart Spray" chipboard

"Just you"

2Crafty Chipboards used :

- Just You

- Corner Heart Spray

- Lattice-Heart Set

- Tiny Leaf Stems

I applied a layer of white gesso on each chipboard.

For the "Corner Heart Spray" chipboard I applied a layer of white crackle paste.

This gives an aged effect.

To stick I used double sided with foam it gives relief.

For the little hearts I applied very light blue embossing powder.

For the "Lattice Heart" and "Tiny Leaf Stems" chipboards I applied "Café au lait" embossing powder.

I chose very pastel shades.

To finish with the title I also worked with embossing powder. 

I like the soft effect of these pastel shades.

Here it is finished, I hope that you will have liked it and that during a few minutes you will have forgotten this sad world.

Take advantage of the time to create and above all take care of yourself!

'Great Memories' with Lisa Amiet

Hello! 

I am so proud of the scrapbooking companies that we have here in Australia.

2Crafty Chipboard is one of them,

I support them every chance I can get. 

This layout has been created to celebrate our industry here, 

and all my products used in my layout are by Australian Brands. 

But let's talk more about the chipboard :)

I have used

Mini Title Stick Set 1

Leafy Silhouettes

Lattice Heart Set

A fun, bright and colourful layout. 

I have layered my background papers, and added some stencilling.

I have used one of the 'Lattice Heart Set'.

I have used white embossing on each of the pieces,

and then layered them, with a tag from the papers.

I have also used one of the 'Leafy Silhouettes',

again finished with white embossing powder, 

and layered among my paper elements.

 For my title, I have used one of the new 'Mini Title Stick Set 1',

that I have left raw, as I felt it looked better :),

layered over my floral cluster. 

I love how the white heart stands out against the bright colours of the papers. 

Another close up :)

I'm really happy with how this page turned out. 

Fun, happy and bright, the way my kids SOMETIMES are, hahahaha!

Until next time!

December Inspiration By Di GarlingTwo Layouts To Share Plus a VIDEO TUTORIAL

"Precious"

    Hi there paper friends, thanks for stopping by. Today I have two layouts plus a VIDEO TUTORIAL to share with you & naturally I have used lots of yummy 2Crafty chippies & some  wonderful Maja Designs papers
Click here to view video...

 

First up I have use the 2Crafty chippie title, "Precious" which was
just the perfect title for this layout of my new grandson Henry.

The little "Baby Clothes Line" was simply coloured with a
brown ink pad & I just cut it to fit. It doesn't get much easier than that.
It doesn't have to be complicated to look good.

ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars

Baby Clothes Line

2015 's Multi Pack

Next up I have used a "2015" date & a sprinkling of stars from the 

"ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars" pack.

All of these blue chippies were simple coloured with blue Mica Powder.

It is absolutely brilliant for colouring chipboard. Because it is so highly

pigmented, you don't even need to prime the chippies first with gesso !!

Lots of stamping & mixed media on my background.

       "A Glimpse of You"

  For my second layout I have used some of the "Beaded Heart Borders". I have been dying to use these & thought they would work brilliantly on this layout.  

  2Crafty Chipboard Used... A Glimpse of You - title Beaded Heart Borders Bubble Clumps Lattice Heart Set  

  On both the "Beaded Heart Borders" & the title "A Glimpse of You" I have first primed them with a coat of gesso, followed by a random coat of turquoise mica powder, to achieve this effect.  Next I applied a little bit of Kindyglitz here & there for a little  touch of sparkle, although it is hard to see the sparkle in these pics.

  As always, lots of mixed media, stamping & some gold micro beads on my background.

  Here you can see I have added some of the chippie "Bubble Clumps"  in between my layers for some added effect. After a coat of gesso I gave  them a lick of colour using lime green Silks paints.

  I gave the same treatment to one of the "Lattice Hearts" which I have used to layer my title onto.

  Well thats all from me today.  I hope you have a lovely & safe Christmas & I will  see you back here again in January. ALSO   Please remember to become a blog follower & leave a blog comment to be elegible to go in our monthly draw for a great chippie prize pack.
