"DREAM in colour" Layout and video by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Today I’m happy to share my second layout for the month of May an adorable photo of my granddaughter enjoying a painting session.

"DREAM in colour"

I also created a process video where you can see all the different steps used to create this layout.

The chipboard used:

Dream in colour Title

large-flower-stem-set-1

loopy-heart-swirl

The “Oversized Flower Stem Set 1” elements add so much movement and really help structure the entire layout.

I started by applying a coat of white gesso to the chipboard pieces in order to prepare the surface before adding colour. For the “Oversized Flower Stem Set 1” chipboard, I chose the beautiful “Frosty” colour. 

I really enjoy working with a water brush because it allows me to create softer blends and more natural colour variations. 

For the “DREAM in colour” title, I originally started with the colour “Just Peachy”, but as the layout evolved, I finally decided to switch to black in order to make the title stand out more and better balance the overall page. For the “Loopy Heart Swirl” chipboard, I used the colour “Twilight” to bring more depth and contrast to the composition.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, and I hope this layout inspires you in your future creations.

Marie

          

Love You by Tania Ridgwell

 Hello there! 

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

"Love ❤️ You"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Love You

*Feather Outline Set

*12 x 12 Weathered Clock Face Frames

*Oversized Flower Stem Set 1

*6x4 Phrase Stick Set 4

I have used the beautiful Uniquely Creative 'Whisper's of Wisdom' Collection to create the base for my Layout.

I coloured the medium sized Weathered Clock Face Frame & Oversized Flower Stem chippies with Lilac Rose Opal Polish and once dry I randomly dabbed on some gesso to tone done the colour.  The Feather Outline, Love You & Love You Long Time (from 6x4 Phrase Stick Set 4) Title chippies have been painted with a couple of coats of gesso.

I placed the Weathered Clock Face Frame chippie and my photo on my background page first.  I then added the Oversized Flower Stem & Feather Outline chippies along the bottom of my photo.  I embellished my page with lots of paper blooms and coordinating creative cuts.  I added the Love You chippie Title along the bottom and the Love You Long Time chippie across the top right.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout.  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

"Spooky October Memories" Round Mixed Media Canvas with Amy

 Hi lovely creative peeps,

Mini Title Stick Set 4
Lattice Leaves
 Corner Crackle
ATC Word Banner Set 2
Oversized Flower Stem Set 1
Fine Word Set ~Months~
Leafy Sihouettes
Corner Steampunk 6
Mini Word Set 3

Most of the chippies are treated with a layer of white gesso & embossing powder to make the embossing powder less shiny I added some matte wax on some of them. The oversized flower stem I cut up and used them separate on this project but also on a ealier project. 

For the corner crackle I used a layer of black gesso too, before I added two layers of dark embossing powder. As most of you now know I love to make some words I use in a two toned color! I did that with the word "october' on this project. 

Thank you so much for stopping by I will be back soon with another project hope to see you back then....I hope I have inspired to create something spooky and have fun while doing so.

"Altered Box" with Amy Voorthuis

 Well hello there crafty friends, 
I am very delighted you are her with us, for today I'd like to share a altered box that I created for my colleague who is leaving us to enjoy her well deserved pension. Although it's with a raw edge since she heard that her cancer is back since the beginning of march {throughout her bones this time} but that doesn't keep her from being a very positive lady and I really admire her for that and so much more. This box holds cards from her colleagues who worked with her a lot longer then me, since I started working there september 2023. But that doesn't mean I didn't make her a card,  I of course did and a nice box to hold them in, in her favorite color yellow. Enjoy this post.....

Amaze Yourself:

Amaze Yourself
Mini Word Set 3

You know what's amazing, you can order directly from the
2Crafty website here so you can also play with their amazing chipboard pieces.

I painted the oversized flower stem set with some spray paint and a pencil in defferent colors. But fistly I cut them up and only used pieces of them. For the skeleton leaves I used the same technique. Undertneath the big green piece of paper there is a picture of "Riek" but I wasn't sure if she wanted me to post it online so I didn't. 

The words & phrases are threated with two layers of white gesso after that I added some white shiny embossing powder {three layers} then I added some stained wood wax on all of tehm some a little more then the other. The beeyoutiful set was only altered with white gesso and tucked in flower clusters. 

  Thank you so much for stopping by I will be back later this month with another project hope to see you back then....
