June Inspiration by Debbie

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with you today to share my June projects.  

"Gorgeous" 

I found the picture on Pinterest and immediately knew I had to use it on a layout.
I did some minimal masking on the background paper and added some paint splatters.  A beautiful picture, lots of flowers and an array of 2Crafty Chipboard! 

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Corner Twisted Vine

Elsa Frame

Ornate Screen

Butterfly Frames

Corner Alexia's

Fine Word Set 2

Lavender Shrub

To the left and right of the photo I placed the Elsa Frame which I cut in half and embossed with antique taupe embossing powder.  I wanted to mimic a garden gate.  I embossed the Corner Alexia's also with antique taupe powder and cut it in half and used at the bottom sides of the photo.  Among the flowers I placed the Corner Twisted Vine, embossed with verdant and antique taupe powders.

At the top of the photo I placed the Ornate Screen, embossed antique taupe, along with the title.

  To the side I placed the Lavender Shrub embossed with verdant powder.

Here you can see more of the Lavander Shrub, along with the Butterfly Frame embossed with plum powder.

"Happy"

My second layout was made for a friend.   Love the background paper and left it as is only adding some of my favorite pieces of 2Crafty Chipboard and lots of flowers.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

6" Revolution Frames

Word Circles Set 1

Angie's Vines

Doily Border

I embossed the title happy with mixture of various blue shades of embossing powder.  Angie's Vines with a mixture of verdant and antique spice powders, and a piece from the Doily Border embossed with Navy powder.

  

Tucked beneath the flowers is a small Revolution Frame, and pieces from the Doily Border Chipboard.

Love the mixture of color in the Angie's Vine.  I added some micro beads for texture.

I hope I have inspired you.
Thanks for stopping by!

"Be Yourself"

Hello all 2Crafty Chipboard fans.

Amazing chipboard and so easy to use! My favorites are the titles and the background panels.

Thank you Vanessa for having faith in me and your generosity.  Love you!

So back to my projects for June.

First one is with a photo of yours truly, taken while I'm on my way to a crop (by train).

This time I have mostly used black inkpad to color the chippies.

I have layered the panels under and beneath the papers and photos to get some dimension.

Played with some crackle paint, ink and stamps on the background.

Used bits of the "checkerboard clumps" as details and a white pen

Some more of the "Checkerboard clumps" on top of the photo

Did some doodling on the background as well, just some random places.

The title fits my photo as I always try to be myself.

The next is with a photo from our trip to London last year.

(maybe I have used this photo earlier, don't remember, but I love it so much)

On this layout I wanted to use chipboards matching the photo and no problems
finding the right chippies from 2Crafty.

I used different kinds of inkpads to color the chippies.

Apart from the birds, here I used white gesso and some black inkpad on the edges.

The different chipboards are layered in several layers and with flowers between, to match the photo.

I wanted to let my layout be a scene and that's why I used the birds.
 Placed on the flowers and on the brick wall.

Added some leaves beneath the flowers

The title is also covered with white gesso.

March Inspirations By Jaya Rahuvanshi

Hello Everyone!

This is Jaya here with you all.

Today I have a few projects to share with you.
 A mixed media canvas and a layout.

"Dream"

I had been wanting to make a mixed media canvas something like this for so long. 

When I got these chippies in my DT pack, I knew I could go ahead.

These dream catcher chippies are so gorgeous and intricate. It was fun to create 

this canvas with them.

Some close-ups-

Look at that intricate pattern! Isn't it gorgeous? 

I applied some white acrylic paint to my chipboard pieces and once it was dry I mixed 

some glitter with soft matt gel and randomly applied it to the chipboards. Next was

 adding some DecoArt Metallic Lustre in Gold and champagne ice. They look 

absolutely amazing after this treatment! 

On this particular piece I added some embossing enamel and
micro-beads for added texture.

Love that 'Dream loopy font' chippie. I have loads of navy blue glitter on it 

coupled with highlighting with DecoArt champagne ice metallic lustre paint.

The moon like chipboard that you see here is actually a left over from 

Circular leafy frame chipboard. I love how beautifully it mimics moon. I

 painted it with Gold DecoArt metallic lustre paint.

"Amaze Yourself" For my next project I wanted to make something depicting nature in the raw form.  So I decided to create something that was  highly textured using just  the shades  of greens and greys.
 The wonderful chippies from 2Crafty made this possible. I just love those gorgeous  Anchors and Shrub chippies. Aren't they the most gorgeous and intricate pieces  to add to your beach/sea theme pages?   Have a look at the page-  

Some close-ups-
I wanted to keep raw look of the chippies but at the same time add some colour and shine.  So I coloured my chipboard pieces with some brown watercolour pastels and once it was  dry I added some liquid gold sparkle sparingly to them. Have a look.  

I also did some doodling on my anchor chippie to make the lines stand out after
 colouring. The shrubs and leaves were first embossed with dark green and teal embossing
 powders and later I added a hint of yellow at places. It gave them the perfect natural
 look I was aiming for. 

2Crafty Chipboards used-

Lavendar shrubs

Thistle shrubs

Bubble clumps

Amaze yourself

  That is all from me today. I hope you were inspired with these projects.

See you again soon!
