"Summer fun" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Exceptionally this month I will present you three projects, here is my second inspiration 

a layout on the theme of the sea and a photo in black and white. 

"Summer fun"

The 2Crafty chipboard used:

- Summer fun

- Intricate Seahorses

- Seaweed Set 3

- Mesh Bits

I don’t spend a summer without using these beautiful sea-themed chipboard models, 

especially these "Intricate seahorses" I love them.

Once my layout is decided, I look for the best shades to embellish the chipboards.

On the "Seaweed" chipboards I choose to use powder to emboss in different shades of blues.

For the "Seahorses" I opt for orange. 

On the right side of my photo I make a cluster by superimposing the chipboards. 

On the other side just a little reminder with also these "Mesh Bits" that I put around my photo.

The "Mesh Bits" were just coated with a gray metallic paint.

On the title it is also a metallic paint "Stormy Ocean" that I then rub with white gesso 

to attenuate the shine. 

I hope that this layout will seduce you, simple and effective everything I like.

I look forward to seeing you again very soon, thank you for your visit, 

always appreciated.

Sea projects by Elena

 Hello crafty friends, Elena stopping by today to share 

my latest projects for the 2Crafty Design Team.

I prepared two works, because I was inspired by our chipboards

 and could not do one thing :)))

"Sea and Dog"

 I've used the stunning St.Tropez collection by Prima to create this LO.

The photograph told me how to arrange the two pieces of paper: blue for the sky and
 brown for the soil.

  

I started by stencilling background circles using texture paste.

Next I made a clouds out of tissue paper and  refreshed it with sprays Lindy's.

 

I added stamping and Circle Flowers and Birds 

Also in this layout I used my favorite chipboard Dandelions 

 

Last but not least I added a title to finish it off. 

My second project:

ATC "Shards of Sea"

My series is named so for a reason. I took a sheet of clear plastic and cut it randomly into 4 pieces. Painted these pieces with alcohol ink and glued pieces of Mesh Bits.

Then I let go of the inspiration and began to create a composition
 of pieces of gauze, shells, flowers, metal jewelry and beads.

The main decoration of ATCs - chipboard Anchors  and Seahorses.

I tinted them a little with chameleon paint by the Fabrika Decoru and wax by Prima.

 

Added headlines-stickers by 7 DOTs.

In these ATCs and layout I have used the following

2Crafty Chipboard pieces:

Circle Flowers 

Dream A Little Dream 

Dandelions 

Mesh Bits

Anchors 

Intricate Seahorses 

Birds Set 

That's it for today! I hope I could inspire you in one way or another.

Thank you for stopping by today!

"Sweet" Layout by Marie Sabatier

For my layout today I was inspired by this photo

of a little boy, "Preyston".

it is a very recent photo but I printed it in a vintage way.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

- Arrow word set 1

- Doodled-Frames

- Seaweed Set

- Winter Twig

- Mesh Bits

I wanted to keep the wood effect of the chipboards, 

so I applied on each chipboard without insisting a little white gesso.

Then a mixture of white gesso with a turquoise ink

and to finish a little wax natural color.

Some close-ups:...

I found original to frame the boat the chipboard "Doodled-Frames" 

is well highlighted this way.

 Only on the title and on the chipboard "WinterTwig".

 Flowers, pebbles, embellishments to sublimate everything and voila!

I like the effect.

I hope this creation has given you ideas to create you too!

See you soon..

October Inspiration "Love that smile" By Marie Sabatier

I present here my inspiration of the month of October. 

I chose these two pictures of my little girl at the beach 
(I could not make the choice).

 I printed the photos in sepia color.

I applied a pattern on the bottom of my page to give a little relief using a 

stencil and a paste embossed and I covered with embossing powder and heated.

On all the chipboards I applied a layer of white gesso and 

then a heat embossing powder in different colors.

Some close-ups :

Love those little hearts on the Heart BubbleSet

Embellishments and that's it !!!

For this page here the chipboards that I used :

- Love that smile Title

- Circle Revolution Frames (negative piece between the frames)

- Mesh Bits

- Heart Bubble Set
