Handsome - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!

Laura here today to share a layout I created of our oldest!

2Crafty Products used;

Mini Dotty Bits
Decorative Poles
Foliage Set 12
Mini Word Set 4

After prepping the paper with clear gesso, a stencil with texture paste and colorants I started
to alter the fantastic chipboard.

I wanted the chipboard to look color washed, almost a tie dye effect.  I covered each piece with white gesso then allowed them to air dry.  I used yellow ochre Brusho powder, and magicals powder in shabby turbine teal and rusty lantern line.  I brushed a bit of each colour on then spritzed with water.  I added more colour where needed then allowed to air dry.  I lightly inked the outside of each piece with torched timber ink

I wanted the title to be slightly different from the other pieces so I inked it with peacock feathers distress ink.

Hope you feel inspired, see you again soon!

"Sunshine & Blue Skies" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well! 

For my new project this August, I designed a summer layout.

The photo shows my little niece exploring the sandy beaches of Mauritius and its treasures.

Receiving new photos that stimulate my creativity is always a source of joy for me.

"Sunshine & Blue Skies"

The chipboard used:

- "Sunshine & Blue Skies"

- 6" Circle Revolution Frames

- Anchor & Buoy Set

- Intricate Seahorses

- Mini Bubbles Squares Clumps

- Mini Word Set 4

After finding the chipboards that inspired me to create my layout, 

I start by applying a layer of white gesso.

The "Circle Revolution", "Buoy", "Mini Bubbles" and the mini word "Explore" 

were embellished with a white embossing powder.

 To finish off the base group I added "Mini Bubbles Square Clumps" particle board. Divided in two. 

It brings a little touch of fantasy.

The white sets it apart from paper embellishments.

I chose a Distress embossing 'Faded jeans' powder for the other chipboards but I suspect that I have it for a while and that I have a "grainy" effect. 

But in the end I liked the result, it gives a "sand" aspect (lol)!

Another way to use the beautiful 2Crafty chipboards is presented here!

It is available from your favorite seller or directly on https://2crafty.com.au/.

Thank you very much!

'Hello Cheeky' with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello 2Crafty fans!
It's Lisa here today to share a fun boy's layout
 that I have created for you.

Hello Cheeky

2Crafty products used:

For this layout, I have used one of the 

'Film Strips Tiny', that I have embossed in white,
and tucked under the edge of my photo. 

I have also used one of the 'Bubble Clumps',
again finished in white embossing powder,

that I have tucked into my layers.

One of my favourites is the 'Triangle Clusters - Tiny',

and I have used a couple of them on my layout, finished in white. 

For my title, I have used one of the words from the
  'Mini Word Set 4', also finished in white, 

that I have layered with one of the titles from my papers

I love using dark background papers for my layouts,
as it really makes the white and colours pop!
I hope that this has inspired you to get 2Crafty today.

Until next time!

'Awesome' A masculine style layout by Rachael Funnell

 

Hello, there fellow creative peeps! 

Today I share with you this grungy/ masculine layout,

using some great 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces...

2 Crafty Chipboard used: 

Industrial light bulbs

6" Geo panel 

 Awesome ~Mini Word set 4

2022

Steampunk gears ~ Medium 

Starting with the 6" Geo Panel, I first removed the frame by cutting away all the Geo Panelling,

next gave all the paneling a nice thick coat of gesso, once dried I cut it up into smaller pieces, and placed them throughout to create this really interesting background. The 2022 also was treated with a coat of gesso...

The 6" frame, was just another great addition to this layout, inking black both the frame & the  

Mini Word ~ Awesome. Also Inking the Medium Steampunk gears with great deep green and 

the fabulous newly released Industrial light bulbs with a nice light brown...

AND that's it from me for now, 

I hope you leave feeling inspired in someway

Until next time
