"Today is PERFECT" layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello, I am still with you today to present my second inspiration for this month of September.

Today I have made a page in lighter tones but always with a lot of flowers and romanticism.

I was inspired by this photo of my son with his girlfriend, 

and also the bouquet of flowers.

"Today is PERFECT"

2Crafty Chipboards used :

- today is PERFECT

- 11" Floral Heart Frame

- Frames Tiny Henri's

- Swaying Branches

As you know, I apply a coat of white gesso on the chipboards.

I cut the "Floral Heart Frame" chipboard on which I waxed a first coat of pink color

 and a second of deeper Indian Pink color. I even ended up adding a little 

black gesso to get a darker effect.

After having positioned my photo on several layers of paper I interspersed the

 "Frames Tiny Henri's" 

chipboards which I embellished with white color embossing powder.

I then used the "Swaying Branches" chipboard which I just painted in green for contrast.

 And to finish the title on which I applied "white purely" embossing powder. 

To harmonize it all, a lot of flowers and cutouts. 

I wanted to have a heart, I hope it worked.

Thank you for always following us and see you very soon!

Tammy's March Shares....

Hello 2 Crafty Fans!!

Tammy here to share my March creations with you all.

My first creation is titled..

"#Funtimes"

A layout that documents our last night at our annual holiday at a
beach in Port Elliott, South Australia. 

This place is really special to us and on the last night we all have a lot of fun
hanging out together as the sun goes down.  Definitely something I wan to capture
and remember.

 "2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

"Today is Perfect Title

"Element Set 1"

"Crazy Stitched Panel"

"ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars"

I painted the "Crazy Stitched Panel" in black and trimmed this down.

I love using this to give my background some texture.

I painted the "Today is Perfect title" in yellow paint and then heat embossed i

t with clear embossing powder to give it a sheen/resin like finish.

 I did the same to the "Element Set 1".

I love the effect of this. That yellow is just gorgeous.

I applied some jade green paint to a few of the stars from the "ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars"
and again heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

I love the pops of colour that the chipboard gives this layout.

My second creation is titled:

"Embrace Today"

This layout celebrates my gorgeous daughter and two of our very special family friends who

 now live a long way away, however we were lucky enough to have some time with them recently.

Definitely a day to scrap and remember forever.

 2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

"Embrace Today Title"

"Mini Branches"

"Handrawn flowers"

"6" Circle Revolution Frames"

"Word Circles - Christmas"

I began by painting all of the Chipboard in a couple of coats of white gesso.

I then added some watercolours to the "Mini Branches".

I used a few different colours.

I also used a black pen to outline a few of the leaves and to add a few dots.

I added white paint to the "6" Revolution Frames" and the two circles 

from the "Christmas Word Circles Set".

This gave them a crisp finish.

I did the same to the "Embrace Today title", and then I added yellow paint to the today part.

I really love doing this to the 2Crafty titles when they have two different fonts.

I then outlined a few of the letters in today, and added some dots with a Sharpie.

I like the whimsical look this creates.

Finally I painted some of the leaves from the "Handrawn Flowers" in black paint. 

I really like the contrast this gives against the other leaves.

I have an extra share for you all today.

I created this one for Scrap the Girls this month and it's called:

"#Fun Times"

 2 Crafty Chipboard Used

"Hashtag Word Set 2"

"Polaroid Frame Set"

"Dotty Bits"

I painted the "Dotty Bits" in blue paint.

 

I painted the "Funtimes" title from the "Hashtag Word Set 2" in red paint.

The frame from the "Polaroid Assorted Frames" was painted in a yellow.

Scrap the Girls have a moodboard colour and theme challenge at the moment, and here it is:

February Inspiration + Video Tutorial by Kareen Dion

Hello everyone!

It's Kareen here today with my inspirations!

So, it's still winter in Canada and I'm really looking forward to the Spring now.

I just can't take it anymore with all the snow and the cold.

But anyway, I don't really have a choice so I'm still presenting you two

Winter layouts this month!

"#Love"

My first layout is a pink/purple winter layout.

I used four different chipboards to enhance my page.

For adding texture on my background, I used Turkish Lattice Panel, I also added

a Modern Swirls, a deer from the Deer Head Set and the title #love from the Mini #Word Set 1.

You can see that I embossed the Modern Swirls chipboard with a light pink embossing powder.

The title #love from the Mini #Word Set 1was embossed with purple embossing powder and

I added chunky white embossing powder on it, but not everywhere as it gives a little

snowy look.

And for the  Turkish Lattice Panel it is simply black embossed and the Deer from the
 Deer Head Set is embossed with a two-tones embossing powder.

2Crafty Chipboard used : 

- Turkish Lattice Panel

- Deer Head Set

- Modern Swirls

- Mini #Word Set 1

"Today is Perfect"

My second layout is still a winter layout with my daughter.

She enjoys playing in the snow, but not the cold! 

She gave me a great picture and I couldn't resist to put it on a page!

I also have a video process with this layout!!

I used the Moroccan Panel, the stars from "Love You to the Moon Set", 

the Mini Hot Air Balloons and finished with the title "Today is Perfect".

The title "Today is Perfect" is embossed with very light color. It's the
 same color that the Moroccan Panel is on the background.

The little stars from the "Love You to the Moon Set" are painted with gold paint.

For the Mini Hot Air Balloons, I applied a layer of white
 gesso and then added paint (gold and magenta).

And here is the video process :

An extra layout!

Yes I have an extra layout today!! As 2Crafty is sponsoring the blog challenge

CSI : http://csichallenge.blogspot.ca/

I did a summer layout as the picture inspired this so much!

And all that tropical vibes, I had to use the 6" Flamingo Frame Set!!

I added the Chicken Barbed Wire Small on the background and

 finished with the sea "Line Words Summer" set of chipboards.

For the 6" Flamingo Frame Set, I embossed all the frame pink but for the leaves on the 

chipboard, I added green embossing powder, that gives two tones on the same chipboard.

For the title sea "Line Words Summer", I simply white embossed it.

And for the Chicken Barbed Wire Small I also used white embossing powder.
