"LA CASA DE PAPEL" Canvas by Marie Sabatier

For my second inspiration of this month I chose to create a mixed media canvas. 

We are fans of the series "LA CASA DE PAPEL" at home. 

So I made this canvas for my son and he loved it.

"LA CASA DE PAPEL"

2Crafty Chipboards used :

- Brick Panel

- 12 X 12 Clock faces

- Steampunk Collage

- Steampunk Gears Smal

- Steampunk Gears Medium 

To start I applied a layer of black gesso on my canvas and also on the chipboards.

I applied patterns to the background using stencil and modeling paste to create relief.

To get the background that I liked I mixed different colors of ink, white gesso, wax.

I superimposed several layers of paper before placing the photo, 

I also used scraps of chipboards to create volume.

Then embellished the chipboards with different materials and colors to obtain contrasts.

I love the mix of colors!

Here for this sublime "Steampunk collage" chipboard I got a wonderful color effect.

To contrast I added these cabochons which I painted with acrylic paint.

Well, I finished the hands well colored but I love the result and above all 

I had a good time with these wonderful chipboards!

And then creating is what it is, to have fun and to please.

I hope I made you want to try. See you soon!

Getaway By Marie Claude Rodier

Hi everyone!

I am here today to show you an usual beach layout... 

I have used non traditional colors for my color scheme, embellishments and of course, 

2Crafty chipboards!!!

It may be spring in Canada but is it still cold and cloudy outside.

That may explain why I added a lot of yellow in my latest layout.

I am definitely longing for warmer and nicer days.

"Getaway"

"Getaway" title was painted with gold acrylic and partially covered
with Firebird wax.

"Clock Face Frames" were cut in half and colored using Firebird, Copper and Bronze waxes. 

"Small and Medium Steampunk Gears" were covered with Bronze, Turquoise and Mint waxes.

As always, as a finishing touch, all chipboards were dry-brushed with white gesso.

Until next time, be happy and be creative!

Tam's First October Share!

Good morning crafty ones!

Tam here today to share my latest 2Crafty Chipboard creation.

This one's titled:

"Special"

A fun bright page celebrating a special night away with my boy.

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

"Special Script Title"

"ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars"

"Steampunk Gears Small"

"Steampunk Gears Medium"

"Interlocking Grid Panel"

I painted the "Interlocking Grid Panels" with black acrylic paint and cut them up and added them underneath my photo and layers.

The black against the gorgeous rainbow background really 'pops'.

I added some of the stars from the "ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars" randomly on the page.

I painted them with the same colour acrylic paint as the background.

I added a few clusters of both "Steampunk Gears Small" and "Steampunk Gears Medium".

I wanted them to look like they were cascading down the page - from top left to bottom right.

This helps create movement and flow.

I added paint in all of the colours used for the background. 

I didn't overthink it, just swiped it over and moved on to the next colour!

Just be rough and random!!

I love how the bright coloured paint ended up looking a bit rusty!!

To finish off the page, I added a Chippy Title -
Just love these and the loopy font ones are my favourite!!

I heat embossed the "Special Loopy Title" with white and I love that little pop of gloss.

So there you have it.....a bright, colourful layout....perfect for my boy.

Have you created with bold colours recently??

My number one tip is to always add black and white.  

It makes magic.

Love Tam

August - Vintage Mixed Media Layout and Video with Kripa

Hello friends,

'You are not old, your Vintage'

This month, my scrapbook layout is inspired by the moodboard at 

More Than Words Challenge Blog. 

I wanted to add a lot symbolism in my layout and 2crafty chipboard had so many pieces that were a perfect fit. With plenty of options, finally here is what was chosen - one Moroccan Swirl, handful of Steampunk gears Small & medium, a frame each from the 6" Circle revolution frames & Cog Nested Frames and the negative of the Leafy Twig Branches.

I find it hard to get rid of the negative of the chipboard once the pieces have been used and try to incorporate them in the layers behind the photograph. But, in this layout, I used the negative of the Leafy Twig Branches as a stencil to paint leaves while making the background. Most of it got covered up, but there are still some visible in the left side of the layout.

All the chipboard pieces were coated with white gesso and then painted on with teal or rust brown colour spray. The flowers on the Moroccan Swirls were left with just white gesso. One swirl has been cut in half and each half tucked on top right and bottom left part of the photograph.

I hope you enjoy the video tutorial.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy creating,

Kripa

Art Journal page & Video Tutorial with Kripa

Hello friends,

My project this month is an art journal page inspired by the moodboard at Mixed Media Place. Further down this post, there is link to a video tutorial of how the page came together.

Ive used several 2crafty chipboard pieces on my page: Checkerboard Clumps and Square Collage Panel to build layers and gears small & medium to embellish. As always, my first step was to gesso all the chipboard pieces. Can you see impressions of the square collage piece on the background? They were made by pressing down the chipboard while the gesso was still wet. 

To match the pattern of the Checkerboard Clumps & gears, I've used similar pattern stamps on the background. The gears were coloured with sprays or inked with a stamp pad.

I hope you enjoy watching the tutorial.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Until next time, happy crafting,
Kripa

March Inspiration with Kripa Koushik

'Smile'

 My first share this month is a canvas which now sits on my son's desk. 

I love how easy it is to create texture and interest just by layering chipboard pieces.

 To begin, I collaged some papers on the canvas and added texture paste and paints.
 On top of this I've built layers of chipboard on top of each other and tucked under
 the layers behind the photograph.

All the chipboard pieces were coated with white gesso. Then, except the 

checkerboard clumps, the rest of the pieces were painted on using 

Colourarte Acrylic Silks. Some checkerboard clumps were left plain,

 the rest were painted on with a brush loaded with Twinkling H2Os (watercolour).

 2crafty chipboard used:

* Summertime

 * Filmstrip Tiny

* Gears Medium

* Checkerboard clumps 

* Steampunk gears tiny

* Steampunk gears small

 

 'Love these kids'

The next project is a 12 x 12 scrapbook layout of my kids with something
 out of my comfort zone - a lot of visible journalling..

In order to have lots of space for journalling, I centred the photograph and extended

 the layout horizontally using the pretty Squiggly Hearts Cluster. Under the 

Squiggly Heart Cluster on either side is a Film Strip - Tiny. Ive cut to  

Sequins negative bits in two and tucked it around the photograph.  

 I wanted the {heart}in the title - I just {heart} these kids next to the photograph, 

so I cut it in two and layered them one below the other. All the chipboard pieces have

 been altered the same way - first a layer of white gesso and then painted on with 

Colourarte Vivid Ultra Metallics using a make up sponge.

* Film Strips - Tiny

* Squiggly heart cluster
