Brave with Emma Zappone

Welcome everyone.
Emma here with you today.
And today I share a 9"x12" layout with you entitled 'Brave'.

Check out the awesome chipboard used on this project...

Decorative Doily
Lattice Leaf Set
Pointy Flower Vines

Again this project I kept it sweet and simple with my finishes on the chipboard.

The beautiful pointy flower vine was painted with a pink acrylic paint and once dry 3
different wax finishes were applied. All the colours were chosen to reflect the paper
choice and photo used.

The stunning lattice leaves are again painted with an acrylic first and then a couple of
Matte wax to draw out the shade of blue to match the layout.

And this final piece which I think is my favourite decorative doily is also painted
with another pink/purple acrylic and a couple of matte waxes. 

I love the simplicity of the mediums on all the chipboard pieces, yet the outcome of the
page is striking, bright and playful. 

I hope this page has inspired you a little today.

See you all soon, Em xx

Fun in the Sunby Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Here to share my layout "Fun in the Sun"

This week I would like to show you a layout I recently made as a Guest Detective for CSI,

 accepting the challenge for their "Case file no. 286".

 Here the theme looked like good summer fun and this was perfectly fitting as we're

 just starting summer here up north!

For the "Pointy Flower", I applied pink ink and then traced the border with black ink.

On the title, "Fun in the Sun", I applied gray pearl metalic paint and traced the border with black ink.

On the negative of the "Pretty Flowers", I applied honey-colored ink and then stamped an hawaiian leaves pattern with black embossing ink. For the "Fern Leaf set" at the back, I applied 2 coats of teal-green embossing powder to make them all nice and shiny.

In this layout, I used the following 2Crafty chipboards:

Pretty Flowers [M000574]

Fern Leaf Set [M00798]

Fun in the sun [W00422]

Pointy Flower [PA0021]

That's all for me today! I hope you enjoyed this layout and that it gave you some ideas for your own creations! Have fun exploring the various techniques of preparing your chipboards! See you soon with more ideas.
