#Capture by Sabrina TurpinPLUS A VIDEO Tutorial

Hello 2Crafty Fans,

It is now the moment to reveal my second May inspiration.
At the end of this blog post, you'll find a video tutorial that shows how
I did my layout. I really like the mischievous look my son sometimes make and
 I was able to capture it on photo for the first time.

 Thus came the inspiration for my "Capture" layout.

This shot is a highlight of the left cluster of chipboard that includes "Triangle Clusters",

 "Parisian Border" and, in dark brown, the chipboard support that was holding the 

"Messy square frame" chipboard (let's not waste perfectly good material!).

For the "Messy square frame" chipboard support, I used 

brown embossing ink and then applied black ink on top.

For the "Triangle Clusters", I used red-gold embossing powder

 and then inked it with a black ink.

For the "Mini #Word Set 2", I used midnight-brown embossing powder.

For the "Parisian Border", I inked them with a brown ink and then I applied black ink.

For this layout, I used the following awesome

February Inspiration By Rachael Funnell

Hi 2 Crafty fans!

It's Rach with you today, sharing my layouts for February.....

"Live your Adventure"

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

Chained Circle Frames

Live your Adventure title

Triangle Clusters

Wing Set 2

Giant gears

Steampunk gears Small

Steampunk gears Medium

For the Title 'Live your Adventure' I wanted it to stand out sitting on the B& W photo....

so I went with giving it a couple of coats of gesso...... Also I added gesso to the to the

 Chain circle frame, then inked with Tim Holtz -Distress Squeezed Lemonade (yellow) ....... 

Did the same to the Giant gear & couple of the Steampunk gears....

While other Steampunk gears have been inked with a Teal & black....

The Triangle Clusters also have been inked black....

  As I didn't want to lose any of that gorgeous delicate details to the wing, 

I ever so lightly rubbed over with gesso, then using a paint brush, painted on a thinker
coat gesso on the edges....
