Dream by Marie Claude Rodier

  Hello lovelies!

September means back to school here in Canada, as every year,

 I take a picture of my boys before they leave for their first day. 

But this year, I didn’t get the photoshoot I had in mind... Because this year, my eldest 

officially became a teen! And this means rare pictures, and fewer good ones, too!

Nonetheless, I used an older one... when he was a little bug, all smiles

and ready for one of mommy’s special poses

.

« Dream... Today & Everyday »

« Today and everyday » was first embossed in blue. When it was dried, I applied 

a second coat of embossing powder with a light teal. The bubbly effect was

 created by overheating the powder with my heat gun.

Addy’s Butterflies were both covered with bronze wax and completed with a few
 touches of denim wax and white gesso here and there.

Dream tag from Circle Tag set 1 was covered with Bronze wax and dry brushed with white gesso.

 Mini Flourish Bits were embossed in light teal.

Scroll 3 pieces were covered with bronze wax and finished with white gold and peacock waxes.

Once Upon a Dream by Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

I hope you're doing well! On our side, spring time has officially started here in Quebec and
snow is finally melting away and we're starting to enjoy a bit of warmth.
 Things took an unexpected turn for us a few days ago when everything shut down due to the pandemic and everybody being asked to stay home.
 But we're making the most of it, spending some quality family time together.
 It also means I have a bit more time for crafts!!!

"Once Upon a Dream"

On the "Ornate Heart Set", I applied some shimmering rose gold paint.
Then I dabbed a pink ink on top.

For the "Scroll 3", I used burgundy embossing powder, then applied a bit of copper embossing ink on top. Finally, I've added just a tiny bit of white embossing ink.

For the title, "Once Upon a Dream", I applied copper-pink embossing enamel.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout.

That's all for me today!
 I hope you enjoyed this and that it gave you a bit of inspiration for your own creations!
Stay safe, I'll be back soon with more ideas to share with you guys.

'Timeless' Mixed Media LayoutBy Kripa Koushik

Hello friends,

My project this month is a 12x12 scrapbook layout, 

inspired by the mood board at Mixed Media Place.

As always, all the chipboard pieces were given a few coats of white gesso. I've cut up
Ella's border into the individual flowers and tucked in between the layers. Can you
 spy gold on the Ella's border flowers, its from gold foil that was lying around my desk.
 I also added some gold foil to the background.

I've also tucked pieces of Circle Lace Panel under paper layers. This chipboard
 piece was only coated with white gesso and stamped over in a few random places.

All the other chipboard pieces were sprayed pink.
Here is a close up of the left side of the layout.

January Journal with Kripa Koushik

Hello friends,

I hope you all had a relaxing holiday with friends & family. 

My January projects are both art journal pages that incorporate my chosen words/intent for this year.

 'Embrace possibilities'

My year started with a box full of goodies from 2crafty chipboard. My first project is inspired by the delicate and beautiful pieces that you see in the close up below: Ella's border and Scroll 3. I layered them vertically between pieces of lace, ribbon and net alongwith a keyhole chipboard.

 

For the opposite side of the page, behind the sentiment, I tucked in a single flower from Ella's border and a key. All chipboard pieces first got a layer of texture paste applied with a palette knife followed by Colourarte acrylic silks & twinkling H2Os. For a distressed grungy look, all the paint was also applied with a palette knife.

2crafty chipboard used:

• Scroll 3
• Ella's border
• Keyholes & Locks 

'Live with intention'

Here is a step by step of how this page came together.

Start by gluing down squares of pattern paper using matt multi medium.

 

 Apply a layer of gesso on the page and then some texture paste mixed with gesso 

through a gears stencil.

Once dry, apply twinkling H2Os in shades of brown, rust & teal.

While that dries, apply white gesso on a selection of chipboard from Steampunk gears medium, Giant gears, cogs and gears, clock faces and light bulb. On a few dab Vivid Ultra Metallics with a make up sponge. The light blue colour is by using Twinkling H2Os on the gessoed gears.

 

For the title, Ive used gold metallic paint and dabbed some white gesso after the blue paint dried for a distressed effect. Below is a close up from the completed art journal page.

I've layered the gears and cogs on top of a sheet of chipboard left after removing the small steampunk gears. It gave me a flat base to layer the gears and cogs.

2crafty supplies Used:

• Gears
• Cute Cogs
• Light Bulbs
• Giant Gears
• Clock Face frames
• Vintage Clock Hands
• Steampunk gears medium
• Live Everyday with Intention Title

  

I hope you enjoyed today's post. 

Wishing all of you a 'Very Happy 2018'

August Inspiration PLUS a VIDEO by Kareen Dion

Hello!

It's my turn to show you my two layouts this month. 

So, as it's summer in Canada, I wanted to do a layout that represents Summer.

I took a picture of our Summer vacation in 2014 : the Beach. Love the beach, and we

are going to the beach again for our vacation : yeah! 

As you can see, I used a lot of chipboard, I used the Harlequin Clumps for my background.

I embossed them in a brown shade to contrast with the rest of the layout. I also used the Skeleton leaves to add a little extra to the flowers and the Scroll 3 below my picture to highlight the title.

"Day at the Beach"

Here you can see the title Day at the Beach, embossing with blue powder.

I also used the Frame Georgian to highlight my layout,

I love frames, they are so easy to use.

Another close-up to the Frame Georgian, I used both of them.

I really like the color combo brown/blue for an ocean layout!

I'm not used to those colors, but I really enjoyed it.

2Crafty products used : 

- Harlequin Clumps

- Skeleton leaves

- Scroll 3

- Title Day at the Beach

- Frame Georgian

*****

For my second layout, I made a video tutorial. 

I took a picture of my daughter which inspired me like she was dreaming.

That's why I chose the title "Dream a Little Dream". 

To add a little punch to my page, I used the Interlocking Stick Panel which was

black embossed. As it's a feminine layout, I add the Whispy Dandelion. And of course, 

I added some Skeleton Leaves.

"Dream a Little Dream"

Here for my title, Dream a Little Dream, I put a layer of white gesso and then I used
 embossing powder. I like to put white gesso first as I found that we have a clean color
 then with the embossing powder.

A little close-up on the Skeleton Leaves used with white embossing powder.

The Whispy Dandelions were stamped with black gesso to create a shadow.

Then I embossed them with light pink.

The Interlocking Stick Panel is black embossed with glitters.
