"Nothing Beats a Father's Love" by Amy Voorthuis

 Goodmorning sweet 2Crafty friends, 

I am so excited that you are here with us today as it's my turn to bring you some inspiration. For this occasion I created a layout with a picture of my husband and darling daughter. For this layout I used a older prima marketing collection. 

Nothing Beats a Father's Love: 

2Crafty Chipboard used: 

Nothing Beats a Father's Love 

Corner Thick Vine

Snowball Tree 

All the chipboard pieces are treated with a layer of white gesso after that I spraypainted it with several sprays in a light blue color trying to mimic the color of the papers. Then I added some darker blue acrylic paint on every piece randomly. 

On the snowball tree I added some bling as I did throughout my layout after that I used some white spray to finish my work. 

Thank you so much for your visit today and if you would like to see more of my work please visit here:

"Wonderful Memory of You" by Amy Voorthuis

Hi there lovely 2Crafty fans,

It's a lovely day to visit the blog because I have another layout to share with you all. What I really love about 2Crafty Chipboard pieces are that they are so delicate and swirly which makes your layouts & other works so romantic and I am a sucker for romance and hearts. 

Wonderful Memory of You: 

2Crafty Chipboards used: 
Mini Word Set 3
Memory of You
Beaded Hanging Heart Set
Frame Handrawn Hearts
Squiggly Heart Cluster 
Leafy Shrub Set 1

I just can't stop creating in purple colors since it is my favorite color lol, this layout was made with the pretty "Spring Purple" collection. All the chippies are painted with one layer of white gesso then I painted the "Memory of You" phrase with some purple acrylic paint then I added some transparant crackle paste and some wax when it was dry.

I painted the Leafy Shrub Set 1 with some green acrylic matte paint and then I added some wax and purple impasto paint. I also added some hearts from the "Steampunk Hearts" mould by Finnabair which I painted with black gesso en pruple wax. In the end I added some pearle on the leafy set to give it more demension. The flowers are all handmade and I did a lot of fussy cutting as well.
