"Forever Treasure this Day" heart canvas by Amy Voorthuis

Hello fellow creative souls, 

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 heart canvas for my co-worker. Her daughter went to Curaçao with her aunt & grandmother last August and her dream came true which was swimming with the dolphins. She & I just really love the pictures they took so she asked me if I could make something for her so I did.

The background that I created here took a couple of days since I love it when it dries & crackles naturally. I also used a couple of stencils on my background and some sprays and waxes.

All the chipoard pieces are treated with either acrylic paint, spray paint, rust paste and waxes. I really love the effect that paste makes on the chippies in the end I added some wishing bubbles & art stones. 

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

January Projects by Jaya Raghuvanshi

Hello 2Crafty fans!
 This is Jaya here today . Wish you all a wonderful new year! Hope you have been enjoying the gorgeous inspirations  by our DT members. I have two lovely projects for you all and I hope you will like these. :)   Before we start... Please remember to become a blog follower & leave a blog comment to

  Here is my first project-
"All Because"

Well .. This is such a lovely sentiment that I had to do justice to it. So I decided
 to create this bluish -purple wintry theme page for a lovely couple.

The gorgeous hand drawn heart frames have been given a coat of black texture spray
 and they were good to go. 

The leaf chippies have been first coated with black gesso and then I sprinkled
 some embossing enamel on top and embossed it. Love that speckled- mottled look!

I heat embossed my tiny feather chippie in white and when it was still 
hot I added some silver microbeads . They kind of sunk into the thick 
embossed surface with just a little bit showing. Loved it :)

 My title chippie has been given a coat of white heavy gesso and then I applied
 glossy accents to it to make it more dimensional,smooth and glossy.

"On This Day"

My second page is a bridal one with beautiful colours and gorgeous rose chippies. I applied white gesso to the climbing rose chippie and then embossed it  with embossing enamel.

  The gorgeous title chippie has been given a coat of white heavy gesso with a
 sponge dauber and embossing enamel on some areas.

The leaf swirl you see here is a leftover of one of my 2Crafty Circular leafy frames.
 I first covered it with gesso and then sprayed it with some mist and once it dried
I lightened it with gesso. and stamped it using some script stamp.

I covered the Turkish lattice panel with white heavy gesso and then sprayed
 randomly using various colours.

December Inspiration PLUS A Photo TutorialBy Jaya Raghuvanshi

Hello 2Crafty chippies fans! This is Jaya here today with my December inspiration projects. 
"Beautiful Girl"

I love the Hand drawn heart Frames. I Heat embossed it in gold embossing powder.

 I also used the ATC Tiny hearts on my page. I coloured them in red and the

 lightly applied gesso on top to lighten the colour.

The "Beautiful girl" title was first given a thick coat of gesso. Next I sprinkled some
 white glitter and diamond dust on top of it to give more texture. When it was completely
 dry I sprayed on some green and orange mist on top.

The arrows were sponged with white gesso. The sponging gives a gorgeous effect to any chippies.

My next project is this card I want to share
"On This Day"

           
   I love this  chippie frame and had loads of fun altering it. I also have a picture tutorial
to share with you on how I did it.

 Picture tutorial-

 1- Add a layer of white gesso on the chipboard pieces

2- Once its dry, give some details with the help of any dimensional paint.
 I used liquid pearls.

3- Let the paint dry perfectly and then coat the chipboard with gesso.

4-  Highlight the raised details with chalk edger.

Step  5- I gave a coat of fine white glitter .  This step is optional though.

Step 6- Next I heat embossed the frame with clear embossing powder and shabby
 white embossing powder in some areas to give it a nice antique ornate look.

  Step 7- I brushed some gesso on the chippies and coloured using chalk edgers.  Dabbed some more gesso to give snow effect. Step 8-  I coloured the title chipbbaord with pink chalk edger and dabbed  some gesso on it as well.
