CSI Challenge Inspiration with Lisa Amiet

Hello 2Crafty Fans!

It's Lisa here today to share some inspiration with you. 

As 2Crafty is sponsoring this month's challenges over at 

CSI Challenge, so I got to play along!

I have used the #287 Mood Board

Here is what I have created.

and here is the Mood Board I used

and the

2Crafty Products Used: 

 Mini Word Set 2                         Grid Panel 

Sybill's Name Plates

 For this layout, I have scrapped a photo of me and my son at the beach.

I have used the 'Grid Panel', 

which I cut into pieces, 

and used among my layers and elements.

I have finished the panel with gold embossing powder. 

I have then added blue Stickles, to the intersecting pieces of the panel. 

The gold and blue work so well with my colour scheme. 

Some more close ups :)

Lots of layers. 

For my title, I have used one of the 'Sybill's Name Plates',

that I have embossed in a two-tone blue. 

I have then added one of the 'Mini Word Set 2',

that I have also embossed in gold. 

I hope that you like what I have created this month.

Why not play along with this month's challenge,

 for a chance to win some awesome 2Crafty Chipboard.

Until next time!

Cherish Your Yesterdays, Dream Your Tomorrows and Live Your Todays By Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Happy April everyone! I'm back for my first post of the month with a new layout to reveal
. This time around, it features my husband as we were playing in the snow a few weeks ago,
 after the last snowstorm of the winter.

I inked the "Fernlike Snowflakes" with teal ink and then applied white enamel powder 

towards the center. Then, for the "Steam Punk Strips", I've roughly applied blue 

embossing powder to let the natural cardboard colors show through in a few spots.

  

On the "Sybills Name Plates", I applied white diluted paint so it would not be completely opaque.

For the title, "Cherish your yesterdays", I applied 2 coats of teal embossing powder.

For this layout, I used the following 2Crafty chipboards:

[W00419] Cherish your yesterdays title

[M00781] Steampunk strips

[M00611] Fernlike snowflakes

[M00365] Sybill's Name plates

That's all for today, I hope you enjoyed it and it gave you some ideas

 for your own creations! I'll be back soon with more sparkles of inspiration to share.

 Until then, have fun creating!

Some August Inspiration By Lisa Griffith

Hello 2 Crafty friends I have a couple of projects to show you today.

My first project is a light and dreamy layout.

'Dream'

I was in the mood to create something with an ultra feminine and 

shabby chic look with lots of pink :)

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

'Dream'

'Viney Page Frame'

'Thistle Shrub'

'Lavendar Shrub'

One of my absolute favourite 2 Crafty chipboards is the 'Viney Page Frame'.

I like to cut it up into long pieces. Here I stamped it lightly with brown ink after painting

with white Acrylic Paint.

As with the other chipboards I painted the title piece with white acrylic paint, and 

then I brushed on some pink mist and then lastly I brushed the edges with brown ink.

My second project is an art journal spread.

'Inspire'

For this project I painted my chipboards white and then randomly

 brushed them with brown ink.

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

'Moroccan Panel'

'Sybill's Name Plate'

'ATC Words'

See you soon,

So Happy Together LO - Nina

wow, April already!!  this year is certainly swiftly moving forward!!  it feels like it was just Christmas and yet here we are gearing up to celebrate Easter!

anyways, today I am back to share another project using 2Crafty chipboard.

I have used both the "Sybill's Name Plate" and the "Corner Emily" to add some 2Crafty WOW to my layout.

I added colour to the chipboard pieces using some Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Colour: Barn Door) by directly applying the ink pad directly to the chipboard suface, and continued dabbing colour from the ink pad until i was happy with the coverage and colour.
Next I heat set the colour added to the chipboard using my heat gun.  I then proceeded to cover the chipboard pieces with versamark ink, followed by a covering of clear embossing powder, which I then heat set also.

The end result looks awesome!!  Next time you are playing with some 2Crafty chipboard, have a go at embossing it!!

Till next time,
Smiles, Nina.
