"adore"
Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Today I’m sharing a bonus layout for the month of April, featuring a sweet photo of my granddaughter. 
I chose a soft and delicate color palette combining warm yellows with subtle shades of purple, creating a gentle and fresh spring atmosphere.

"adore"

The chipboard used:

To start, I prepared my chipboard pieces with a coat of white gesso. I then added soft touches of color using 49 and Market inks, layering them gently to blend with the overall palette of the layout while keeping a light and delicate finish.

For my composition, I created a central cluster around the photo by layering tags, florals and textured elements to add depth and visual interest. I used the “Thistle” chipboard to bring height and softness to the arrangement. I colored it with 49 and Market inks, starting with Cappuccino as a base, then adding touches of Lavender Kisses to bring soft purple tones.


For the “Steampunk Foliage Corner” chipboard, I started with Cappuccino as a base to create a soft and slightly vintage undertone. I then layered Twilight to build the main purple shade, and finished with touches of Sangria to add depth and a slightly warmer tone. This combination creates a subtle variation of color, bringing dimension while keeping the overall look soft and balanced.


For the “Adore Script” title, I used Twilight and Sangria to create soft purple tones. I lightly sprayed water to add subtle variation and softness to the color.
As the title didn’t stand out enough against the background, I decided to mount it onto a piece of white cardstock, similar to the “golden” title underneath. This simple step helps define the shape and brings more contrast, allowing the title to become a clear focal point while keeping the overall look soft and cohesive.



I hope you enjoyed this layout, and I’ll see you again soon!

2Crafty Used

Grass Clumps
Thistle 
Field Mushrooms

For this art journal page,
I created my own mixed media background. 
 
Then, I used some of the 'Thistle',
which I cut up and used on either side of my page. 
I left these raw to go with the nature theme of my page.

 
I used one of the 'Field Mushrooms'
as the main focal point for my page,
which I also left raw.

 
I also used one of the 'Grass Clumps',
which I have coloured the same greens
and browns as my background,
layered over the thistle and mushroom.


 I really love the green and brown natural tones to this page
and I am happy with how it turned out.
I hope that you like it too!

Until next time!

Hello 2Crafty fans!
It's Lisa here today to share some 2Crafty inspiration with you.
I have created this layout of my daughter and her bestie!

For this layout, I have used one of the 
gorgeous feathers from the
 'Feather Outline Set'
which I have finished in a multi-tone purple effect.

I have also used one of the 'Element Set 1',
that I have cut in half and finished in white.


I have also used the 'Window Shutter Set 3',
which I have given a light coat of texture paste
 and some white aging, to give it an old rustic feel. 

I have also used one of the keys from the 'Mini Keys Set',
also finished in white.


I have also used one of the 'Thistle' pieces,
