"Wonderful" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

For my first inspiration for this month of June, I offer you a layout including this pretty 

window model which frames a photo of my granddaughter taken in profile.

"Wonderful"

The chipboards used:

- "Wonderful" Mini Word Set 3

- "joy" Christmas Mini Word Set 2

- Window Shutter Set 2

- Mollie's Butterfly Set

- Ginny's Flourish Set

- Heart Clumps

After choosing my layout, I decided to embellish the majority of the chipboards in white.

To start, I apply a layer of white gesso.

Then I use a heavy body acrylic paint of snow-white color.

 I wanted to achieve a covering effect.

I use two "Ginny's Flourish" chipboards to give volume to my embellishment cluster.

For the butterflies I chose to cover them with Lindy's Gang embossing powder in the color

 "Madonna Robe Blue Gold.

I often add to my projects these "Heater Clumps". They are light and so adorable.

To create a distinctive look, I chose to use two mini-words in different fonts.

I hope this presentation of these beautiful chipboards will inspire you in your next creations.

Take care of yourself!

Marie

     

'Never Stop Believing' - by Emma Zappone

Hi there 2Crafty friends.
Em with you today with a small Mixed Media panel.

Here are the awesome chipboard elements used.....

Pretty Flowers
Mollies Butterfly Set
Foliage Set 7

I painted all the chipboard pieces with some Color Glow powders, that left a beautiful shimmer to them.

Look at all that awesome shimmer!

I love the way these powders sit on the chipboard. These I chose not to prime first, so that the water that mixes with the powder, soaks into the chippy a little and mutes the colour but leaves all the shimmer.

I love the calmness this panel creates.

I hope you have been inspired a little today.

I hope to catch you all again soon.

Till then, Em xx

 

Happiness is This by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for February,  I have created a layout.

"Happiness is This"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Lattice Heart Set

*Frame Hand Drawn Heart

*Mollie's Butterfly Set

*6x4 Phrase Stick Set 5

*Foliage Set 11

I used the gorgeous Paper Rose Rainbow Twirl 2.0 Paper Collection to create the base for for my layout.  Once I had created my background I set about putting my page together.

I fussy cut the beautiful large flower wreath from one of the papers and added it to the center of my base page. 

I coloured the Lattice and Hand Drawn Frame Hearts with Lavender Blue Opal Polish and once dry I randomly dabbed on some Golden Glow Opal Polish.  I framed my photo with the largest Hand Drawn  Heart chippie, added it to my page and then added the remaining Heart chippies across the page.

I added some flowers along the bottom of my photo and along the left side.

I coloured the Mollie's Butterflies and Foliage Set with the Golden Glow Opal Polish.   Once dry I added the Butterfly chippies and cut the Foliage chippies into pieces and tucked them in among the flowers. I finished of the page with a title from the Phrase Stick Set 5 which I also coloured with the Golden Glow Opal Polish.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout. 

 Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

'ART' by Emma Zappone with VIDEO

Happy Friday!
Em with you today sharing an 8x10 Canvas titled 'ART'.
I found this super cool picture on Pinterest of  Salvador Dali and it inspired this project.

Check out the awesome chipboard used here....

6x6 Clock Face Frames
Foliage set 7
Mollies Butterfly set
Circle Flowers

And it inspired me to create a video of it coming together too 😜

Lets start by talking about the finishes on everything but the butterfly.

The clock, foliage and circle flowers all started with a coat of black gesso.

And then finished off with a wax. Some had a silver finish and others a gold or bronze.
But the Butterfly was different.

These can be used as a 2 piece. So I started with painting the bottom solid layer with a coat of white gesso, which once dried, added some black script stamping. Once that was applied, i added a lovely dusting of clear emboss powder.
Then bending the wings ever so gently of the 'cut' butterfly which had a wax finish, applied to the 'solid butterfly' to give dimension.

I just love the way this project came about.
Don't forget to watch the video to see it really come to life.

Have a great weekend everyone.
Catch you all again soon.

till next time, Stay Crafty, Em xx

Cherish this Moment by Tania Ridgwell

Hello there!

Tania popping in today to share the last of my DT projects for November.  I have created a layout.

"Cherish This Moment"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Fine Leafy Bush

*Dana's Ornate Rectangle Frame

*12x12 Fine Floral Love Frame

*Mini Title Stick Set 5

*Mollie's Butterfly Set

I used the gorgeous Mintay City of Love Collection to create the base for my Layout.

I gave the 12x12 Fine Floral Love Frame a coat of gesso and once dry I then painted it with Pearl Mont Marte Shimmer Paint.  I then added it to my background page. I kept the Dana's Ornate Rectangle Frame raw as I think it suited the colours in the papers.  I added my photo and then it to my page.

 I embellished my page with lots of pretty blooms.  I gave the Fine Leafy Bush a coat of gesso and once dry I cut it up into sections and tucked in in amongst the blooms.  I painted the Mollie's Butterfly Solid chippies with some green acrylic paint and tucked them into the blooms too.  To finish off my my I added a couple of raw chippie titles from the Mini Title Stick Set 5.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout.

Cherish This Moment Altered Wooden Square Plaque by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the second of my DT projects with you all for this month.
  I just love Altered Art so today I am sharing an altered Wooden Square Plaque.

"Cherish This Moment"

2 Crafty Products Used:

*Charlotte Page Flourish

*Mini Flourish Bits

*Mollie's Butterfly Set

*Mini Title Stick Set 5

 I have used the stunning Mintay Graceful Collection to create this project.  Probably my all time favourite papers 💜💜  Once I chose the paper for the background of my square plaque I set about decorating.

I coloured the Charlotte Flourish and Mini Flourish Bits with Art Alchemy Waxes - Sweet Rose and Electric Violet.  

I wanted some depth behind my photo so before I put the photo on I added some paper layers to the centre of the plaque.  Once the Charlotte Flourish was dry I cut it in half and added one half to the top and one to the bottom tucked in under the paper layers.  I then added lots of fussy cut elements tucked in under the photo and among the paper layers.

I added lots of blooms around the photo and then tucked in the Mini Flourish Bits.  I left the Mollie's Butterflies raw and added them to the flower clusters.  I also added a couple of raw Titles from the Mini Stick Set 5 and finished of my plaque by adding some tiny glass domes and randomly splashing on some White Linen Dylusions Spray.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my little Beyond the Page project.
