Album "Holy Night" by Elena Martynova

 Hello 2Crafty friends!

I hope everyone is having fun getting ready for the holidays! 

I made a mini-album dedicated to the theme of the birth of Christ.

I used the "Oh holy night" paper collection by Eco Park.

The album size is 13x26 cm.

The main decoration of the cover is the image of an angel in the dial from Clock Face Discs

Under the dial is slipped an asterisk, which symbolizes the star of Bethlehem.

Elements of the background chipboard are inserted between the layers.

I painted the entire chipboard black and waxed White Gold.

Some lovely lowers on cover too.

 

I decorated the first spread of the album with chippies from the Corner Fluer.

Another dial adorns the second spread of my Christmas album.

The center page is additionally decorated with a mini-page

in the shape of a heart. I added a chippie from the Ivy's Squares  set to it.

You can insert photos inside the heart.

The fourth spread is decorated with a very beautiful openwork chippie from the Element Set 1

In the last spread, I added a shaker-window 

and decorated it with an element from the Fluer squares  set.

2Crafty chippies were useful to me in this album:

Corner Fluer

Starlink Panel 

Clock Face Discs

Element Set 1

Wire Stars

Ivy's Squares 

Fluer squares 

I hope you have a great day. Thank you for stopping by.

"Remember Moments Like This"By Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

This week for my layout reveal I had the inspiration to create something that would push

 me outside my usual comfort zone. I wanted to create something that would have 

a vintage feel while still providing a nice fresh touch. 

I am sometimes not fully satisfied by my purely "vintage" layouts,

 but I'm quite pleased with the balance I struck here.

"Remember Moments Like This"

On the "Poppy's Ornate Frame", I used metallic teal embossing ink 

and then applied black ink on the contour.

For the "Starlink Panel" in the background, I started by cutting it to give it a rounder 

shape and give the impression that the stars are detached from each other. Then I 

applied a pink embossing enamel powder.

On the "Brook's Swirls", I first applied pink ink and then followed by dabbing a copper embossing ink on top. Finally I applied a diluted silver glaze on top and traced the contour with black ink.

For the title, "Remember moments like this", I applied two coats of black

 embossing powder and some teal metallic embossing ink.
