"Love at Christmas" Layout and video by Marie sabatier

Hello everyone,

I was inspired by this photo by ameriadesignstudio to create this layout.

The photos she creates inspire me, and this one guided my layout. Even though Christmas isn't quite here, I already enjoy using chipboards to immerse myself in the atmosphere.

"Love at Christmas"

The chipboard used:

love-at-christmas-title

poinsettia-set

holly-twig-branches

wire-stars

      

I wanted to try a new technique for decorating chipboards.

I'm starting with these beautiful "poinsettias." I love them!

I use 49 and Market liquid inks with a water brush. Simply apply the ink to the chipboard, adjusting the amount of water to achieve different color intensities.

I use the colors "Strawberry Pie," "Watermelon," "Green Jean," and "Rainforest."

After positioning the photograph, I create embellishments on either side using the poinsettias, also incorporating holly twig branches and wire stars.

I apply white gesso to highlight the title "Love at Christmas" and the stars. 

Two layers are applied to the title to increase its brightness.

I hope you liked the layout; I enjoyed making it!

Marie

"Love at Christmas" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I am very happy to meet you again to present my first inspiration for this month of November.

I love the holiday season and as they go by very quickly 

I am going right away to present these beautiful Christmas chipboards to you.

"Love at Christmas" 

The 2CraftyChipboard used:

- Love at Christmas

- Star Circular Frames

- Majestic Reindeers

- Funky Christmas Trees

I started by embellishing the "Star Circular Frame" chipboard by applying "Chalk It Up" 

embossing powder. I love the smoothness of this chipboard! 

That I positioned around and on my photo.

On the "Majestic Reindeers" chipboard I also applied "Hibiscus Rose Orange" 

colored embossing powder and added a layer of transparent glitter.

I wanted the reindeer to look like my granddaughter's outfit. 

I find them both too beautiful!

This is the first time I have used these "Funky Christmas Trees" particle boards 

and on this layout I find they match very well. 

They are also embossed with a "Chip off the Old Black" color.

Of course the title remains important for the final touch and essential 

to make us feel our emotion.

After laying out my entire layout, I added "Transparent Glitter" embossing powder 

to the "Funky Christmas Trees" chipboards. They look even more beautiful.

That's it for me, I always had so much fun creating this layout 

with these great chipboards.

Hope I gave you some ideas.

Marie
