"A Cheeky Moment Captured" Layout with Amy Voorthuis

Hello and goodmorning lovely 2Crafty friends,
How wonderful of you all to stop by the 2Crafty blog, this is my first layout for the month of April. We are getting more and more warmer weather and how I love that. For today I have another layout to share with you and this was such a great one to make I especially love that cheeky picture of Abbey. For this layout I used a 2016 paper collection by BoBunny called "Secret Garden" and a bunch of wonderful 2Crafty Chipboard pieces.

 Enjoy my post....

A Cheeky Moment Captured:

A Moment Captured
Cheeky - Loopy Font
Miniture Circle Frames
Lacey Border Set 1
Fine Word Set 3
Vine Small
Circle Tag Set 1
12x12 Braches Frame Set

It was a while back that I used rust paste on my work so that is what I did on thie layout. It gives your chipboard that extra vintage feeling you will probably see more of that from me soon. 

After I applied the rust paste I also added some waxes on the other pieces I added some acrylic paints in different colors and on some of the chippies I used my alcohol/aqua pens like the green on the 12x12 Braches Frame Set which is a absolute new favorite of mine. 

 Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project soon hope to see you back then....

"BeeYOUtiful Journey" by Amy Voorthuis

  Good morning lovely 2Crafty friends, 

Today is my turn to show you some inspiration on this wonderful blog. For this occasion I made a layout and again I used some of my favorite colors like purple and green & chipboard pieces by 2Crafty Chipboard. I used a picture of our beautiful children and a colorful paper collection. Not  so long ago I discovered that 2Crafty Chipboard lends itselfs really good to sew on it and so I did here with the pretty Frame Maria's .

BeeYOUtiful Set

I treated all the chipboard pieces with white gesso and for the swirly pieces & the word journey. I made them green with some matte acrylic paint then I added some wax in a stained wood color. The word "BeeYOUtiful" was treated with three different acrylics in the color purple. 

I just love adding the fine word set words to other phrases or words that gives it more demension don't you think so too? The pretty Frame Maria's was treated with several layers of different colors of embossing powders {white & light purple} Then I machine stitched around the circle & the straight and ik that circle I added a phrase from the paper collection I used 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.
