'Timeless Beauty" layout by Rachael Funnell

 Hello 2 Crafty fans!

Rach with you today sharing my newest bit of 2 Crafty inspo..

"Timeless Beauty"

This features a photo of my beautiful daughter

and some really fabulous 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces: 

Old World key/Lock set

Steampunk Border 9"

Steampunk Arrow set

Timeless Beauty title

2018

Let's start with the very so gorgeous Lock from Old World key/Lock set

What I did was trying my best not to lose any of that beautiful delicate detailing to this lock by 

using a paintbrush and applying a very very light coat of gesso..

also added some gesso to this really cool Steampunk arrow I have sitting on the lock...

Next up is the title - Timeless Beauty 

.where I just simply inked it twice with  nice forest green,

I really like how it has turned out... I also did the same to the 2018

Lastly, we have the beautiful Steampunk Border 9"

So I tried something a little different from my usual inking & gessoing...

I heat-embossed this board with a really pretty Rose Quartz...

DOESN'T IT LOOK GREAT! 

Thanks for popping by 

and until next time

Hello 2 Crafty fans!

Rach with you sharing some more April Inspiration....

My first layout featuring my gorgeous girl.

'Timeless Beauty'

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

Brick Panel

Thistle shrub

Indian feathers

Tiny feathers

Timeless Beauty title

Inspired by my girls dress, I went with the soft pastel colours, 

I have heat embossed both Timeless Beauty title with a pale pink and Thistle shrub a teal......

I have left the Brick Panel raw & cut it in half and placed half at the top and other
half at the bottom of the photo, just to  bring a little more attention to the photo.....

I have used a couple of the Indian feathers & Tiny feathers.....

 First applying white gesso to the both Indian feathers & Tiny feathers, then
 inking them ever so lightly with purple or pink...

 I scattered them thoughout my page to finish it off nicely... 😊

For my second page

Funky Heart swirls

Lacy border

 Leafy Corner

#Mini word set 2

YOU word from Card Set 2

With such strong colours I still wanted the chipboard pieces to stand out, 

so I have added couple of coats of white gesso to #mini word JOY.

I did the same to the  Funky Heart swirls,  Leafy Corner & 2017

The Lacy border strip I have inked with black & the tiny word YOU sitting on
 the photo, has been heat embossed with a Navy Blue....

That's it for me this month....

Thanks for stopping by...... I hope you liked what you see and where inspired in someway....

till next time

October Layouts By Lilibleu

"Timeless Beauty"

Hello everybody !

This is Lilibleu today sharing two layouts with you.

For my first project, I wanted to use the title "Timeless Beauty" that I find 

beautiful with a feminine and delicate writing.

I simply painted the title with gold to give a shiny effect.

I chose the beautiful setting "Frame Bec's" that I find ideal for framing my picture.

 I initially painted it with white gesso, then I colored parts of the frame with gold ink.

I also used a small padlock set "Key Set Mini's" to melt in my layout.

 I first painted it in gold before putting a layer of glitters on it.

2 Crafty Chipboard Used :

Title - Timeless Beauty 

Frame Bec's 

Key Set Mini's 

"Forever"

For this one, I chose to work colours very different from my first layout.

I used the "Edgar Swirls" ornaments on each side of my picture and to make

 them visible, I painted them with metallic blue paint.

The butterfly is embossed with blue sky colour to give more softness.

To frame the photo, I chose to use the "Corner Twisted" I also painted 

it in metallic blue. I added green glitters on the leaves.

The title "Forever" is painted in black.

 2 Crafty Chipboard Used :

- Corner Twisted

- Edgar Swirls

- Addy's Butterflies

- Mini Word Set 2
