Sunshine & Blue Skies - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!
Laura here to share my next layout!

2Crafty Products Used;

Chevron Bits
Sunshine & Blue Skies
Bubble Clumps
Anchor & Buoy
12x12 Crazy Circles
Circle Stack
6x6 Circle Frame Set

I fell in love with the 12x12 Crazy Circles and knew I wanted to use them in a fun way!  I used them as the base and left it open so the empty spots could be seen!

I wanted the layout to be rustic like the paper I chose.  I painted all the chipboard with white gesso, allowed to dry then added blue or brown paint.  On the items I painted blue I also painted a couple of white layers over top.

I then used 250 and 1000 grit sand paper to removes some of the paint in places and and done to the chipboard in others.

For the title piece I used Tim Holtz uncharted mariner distress ink and clear embossing powder.

"Sunshine & Blue Skies" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well! 

For my new project this August, I designed a summer layout.

The photo shows my little niece exploring the sandy beaches of Mauritius and its treasures.

Receiving new photos that stimulate my creativity is always a source of joy for me.

"Sunshine & Blue Skies"

The chipboard used:

- "Sunshine & Blue Skies"

- 6" Circle Revolution Frames

- Anchor & Buoy Set

- Intricate Seahorses

- Mini Bubbles Squares Clumps

- Mini Word Set 4

After finding the chipboards that inspired me to create my layout, 

I start by applying a layer of white gesso.

The "Circle Revolution", "Buoy", "Mini Bubbles" and the mini word "Explore" 

were embellished with a white embossing powder.

 To finish off the base group I added "Mini Bubbles Square Clumps" particle board. Divided in two. 

It brings a little touch of fantasy.

The white sets it apart from paper embellishments.

I chose a Distress embossing 'Faded jeans' powder for the other chipboards but I suspect that I have it for a while and that I have a "grainy" effect. 

But in the end I liked the result, it gives a "sand" aspect (lol)!

Another way to use the beautiful 2Crafty chipboards is presented here!

It is available from your favorite seller or directly on https://2crafty.com.au/.

Thank you very much!

'Sunshine and Blue Skies' with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share some inspiration with you.
As we have just started SPRING (my personal favourite ;)) in our part of the world,
I thought something bright and fun would be ideal!

Sunshine and Blue Skies

2Crafty Products used:

For this layout, I have started with a bit of
a colourful splash around on my page.

I have then built up my layers,

 including one of the 'Leafy Shrub Set 2' designs,

that I have finished in a bright multicolour of paints,

 coordinated with my papers.

I have also used one of the 'Fern Leaf Set',

that I have finished in aqua paint to match. 

I have also used one of the 'Charlotte Flowers',

that I have finished in bright pink paint. 
I love how delicate these flowers are, and so pretty!

Finally, I have used the 'Sunshine & Blue Skies' title,

that I have painted in a two-tone yellow and aqua, 

to match my layout.

I love how these pieces can bring sunshine to a page!

I hope that you like what I have created,

and that this brings you some sunshine wherever you are!

Until next time!

Lisa
