"Those Eyes That Smile" Layout by Marie Sabatier

 Hello everyone,

I present to you my first inspiration for this month of August. 

A layout inspired by this photograph of my grandson.

I really like scraping on themes, but in this context, my main goal is to highlight the decoration with embellishments, flowers and, of course, beautiful chipboards.

"Those Eyes That Smile"

The chipboard used:

those-eyes-that-smile

thin-hexagon-stacked-frames

foliage-set-7

 

First, I apply a layer of white gesso to each chipboard.

The "thin hexagon stacked frames" chipboard is ideal for matching the prints in the "Botanical Buzz" paper collection. It is embellished with Lindy's Gang "Café au Lait" embossing powder.

On the right side of my photograph, I created an embellishment cluster and added "Foliage Set 7" chipboards by inserting them on either side of the bouquet. I chose the color "Desert Moon Turquoise."

I love the close-up!

I think I made the right choice by choosing this title. 

It is simply covered with white gesso.

Thank you very much for your visit.

Marie

       

"Those Eyes That Smile" by Amy Voorthuis

 Hello sweet 2Crafty friends, 

I am glad you are here with us today, my inspiration for today is a 12 by 12 layout using a picture of Abbey standing under a umbrella while raining. The smile I captured made me think of of the beautiful 2Crafty chipboard phrase "Those Eyes/That Smile" the papers are by Maja Design.

Treasure Those Eyes/That Smile: 

 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Corner Whispy Vines
Those Eyes/That Smile
Round Flourish Frame
Corner Swirly Heart Set 
Fine Word Set 1
Fine & Fancy Butterfly Set

The chipboard pieces are all primed with black gesso, then I misted the frame {which first cut in half} with some cream toned spray after that I added two different layers of acrylic paint in a pink tone. After that I added a layer of pink wax randomly in the end I added some cream rustic paint also randomly. 

On the other pieces I just added some pink wax and paint and a layer of white mist to make it fit my layout a little better. I also added some pink & two shades of green 

paint on the Corner Whispy Vines. The word "treasure" was also painted in two shades of green and on top of that I added some glossy accents.
