Token to my heart by Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty friends!

I hope you're all doing well. The layout I'm sharing today features Neho, our very own good boy! He's now a teenager dog and just like his human teenage brother and sister, he likes to sleep a lot during the day and turns into full party mode during the night! They form a great team!

"Token to my heart" 

For the "Handdran Flowers", I applied 2 coats of green embossing ink.

On the "Trudi's Vine", I used ivory-green embossing enamel. 

On the "Frame Fine Circle with Butterflies", I applied a coat of brown alchool ink and then rubbed a bit of gold wax on top with my finger. Finally, I dabbed a bit of white embossing ink. For the title "Token of my Heart Set", I used two coats of rusty charcoal paint, then rubbed some gold wax on top.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Handdrawn Flowers [m00580]

Frame Fine Circle with Butterflies [fr0126]

Trudi's Vine [db0111]

Token of my heart Set [m00889]

That's all for me today! I hope you enjoyed my creation and it gave you some inspiration for your own! I'll be back in a few weeks with a new layout to share with you. Until then, take care and happy crafting!

A Moment with You by Tammy Klingner

Hi Creative souls,

Tam here today to share my latest.....

A layout celebrating sharing moments.

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:
"A Moment with You title"
"Corner Twig Branches" NEW
"Trudi's Vine"

I coated all pieces in white gesso.

I then added some soft watercolours to them to go with the layout.

I added some yellow, some grey and some soft pink.

For the "A Moment with you" title, I added pink only to the word moment....

So soft and subtle....

I trimmed down some of the "Corner Twig Frames". 
I wanted them to mirror the tree in the photo.

I also added soft pinks and greys to "Trudi's Vine".
I then trimmed these down. and clustered them around the photo.

I really love the softness of this layout.
The pastels are a nice change for me from the usual bold bright colours I'm usually drawn to.

Watercolours on chipboard is a lovely soft finish.

That's it from me today.

I'll see you later in the month.

"Tranquil Moments" Layout by Marie Sabatier

My first inspiration for this month of June.

Summer is approaching here in France so I chose to make a colorful page.

My inspiration is this chipboard, "Trudi's vine", so I chose also a very flowery paper.

2Crafty Chipboard Used....

- Word Tranquil Moments

- Trudi's Vine

- Foliage Set 1

A layer of white gesso on each chipboard.

 For the chipboard "Trudi's Vine" 

I chose five colors of embossing powder that I worked one after the other.

- Pink and coral for flowers

- Green meadow, olive green and dark green for the leaves

 When we heat the powder, it mixes a little and we get a great effect

 Here for the "Foliage" chipboards.

For the title I chose a Mango color paste.

I hope you enjoyed this page!

See you soon.

August Inspiration + a VIDEO By Lilibleu

"Enjoy this Moment, This moment is your Life"

Hello fans 2 Crafty !!

It is my turn to present you my two layouts for August.

For this first project, I wanted a  very soft, flowery page with this very pretty picture

 of a little girl and her cat, found on Pinterest.

2Crafty Products Used :

- Title Enjoy this Moment this moment is your Life

- Fanciful Butterfly

- Flourish adornment set 5

- Trudi's Vine

- Arrow word set 2

I have based my page from Lindy's Gang's August challenge :

I cut the title in half to set one part above the picture and the other underneath. 

I painted it in blue and I sprinkled some purple flakes.

The "Trudi's Vine" flower is painted purple, the "Fanciful Butterfly" 

is painted white and then sprayed with blue ink.

Here's the other part of the title.

The "Flourish adornment set 5" are painted blue and the word "friends" is painted purple.

"Magical"

When I was realizing this page and its video, we were going through a period of very strong

 heat here in the South of France: the temperatures easily exceeded 40 °C in the shade. 

I was just melting down! I think these temperatures made me want to choose the marine 

environment as a theme for my project, to imagine a bit of coolness.

2Crafty Products :

- Sea Creatures

- Sabine's Frame Set

- Bubble-clumps

- Fine word set 2

I realized my project based on the July thematic challenge of Mixed Media & Art:

The large "Sabine's Frame Set" round is embossed with a golden powder. The 

little turtle is also embossed in gold and I gave some texture to its carapace by

 mixing gesso, 3D powder, plastic micro-spheres and paint.

The starfish was worked the same way than the shell of the turtle. I love the "Bubble-clumps" 

in the set, there are several different sizes in it which is perfect for any projects. I embossed

 them in blue and I added some small touches of golden powder.

The "Magical" title is painted gold.

And that's all for today!

See you back here soon with some more 2Crafty inspirations.
