"Adventure Rebel" By Emma Zappone

Hi everyone, 

Emma here today on the 2Crafty blog. 

Today’s layout was inspired by this Pop Art image I found on Pinterest
of Carrie Fisher mixed with a little  David Bowie...

I chose the red background to match the stripe on Carrie's face. 

Then to get the space vibe I chose the square collage panel and cut it up to
 sit behind my image, I inked this with a Distress Oxide ink and then with
 my finger applied a Prima wax over the top. 

To mimic the pattern on her face I used part of the squiggle border which I painted
with  Dina Wakley paint and again went over it with the Wax. I think this is my
 new fave product. Plus it smells so good 😉 

The ‘adventure’ word I inked with black archival ink and left it as it was. 

Here are the 2Crafty products I used......

I really had fun with this layout, taking my time, creating layers and just enjoying the process. 

I look forward to seeing you all next month. 

Until then, Em xx

November Inspiration By Kareen Dion

Hello 2Crafty fans!

So it's my turn this month to present you my inspiration.

November already! As it's almost winter here in Canada, it's that the time 

of the year where we begin to think about Christmas...but I'm so not ready yet!

So today, I'll show you a sunny creation and a winter creation! 

 **Friends**

For my first layout, I wanted to have a sunny page.

I chose a picture of a friend of mine with myself. 

I used the Palm Leaves Set embossing with white powder.

I also used Squiggle Border embossing with a soft pink powder. I love this border,

it enhances the layout perfectly! And for the title, I used the word friends from the

Arrow Word Set 2, & I also embossed it with white embossing powder.

Some close-ups :

**Magical**

For my second layout, I chose a more wintery picture.
I have worked with red and turquoise colors here, I love them together!

On the background I used the Mini Bubble Square with embossing powder.
With red embossing powder, I also used the Corner Geneive behind my picture and a flair.
I added the perfect Linear Snowflakes and finished with the magical title from Fine Word Set 2.

I based my page on the More Than Words April challenge.

Some close ups...

I created texture on my background by I applying modeling paste through a stencil.
When dried, I used ''Shabby Turbine Teal'' and ''Merci Beaucoup Mint'' Lindy's Stamp
 Gang sprays to color my page.

I heat embossed the ''Corner Annalise'' and the title chipboards with the ''Black Forest Black'' Lindy's powder. The chipboards from the ''Element Set 1'' were also embossed with the ''Desert Moon Turquoise'' powder.

To finish, I added some black micro beads and platinum glass glitter with gel medium.
