"Perfect As You Are" Layout and Video by Marie Sabatier

I am happy to find you and present my new page to you with a step by step video.

Here in France it's vacation time but you have to be careful so no travel.

To make my page, I was inspired by the leaves of the background of the photo, 

so I chose this magnificent chipboard "Viney 11” Page Frame".

2Crafty Chipboards used :

- Perfect as you are

- Viney 11 Page Frame

- Sitting Sparrow

Here are some close-ups, but don't hesitate to watch the video for more details.

I really like big frames in chipboards.

I applied several colors of embossing powder to get the effect I wanted.

I used only two colors but in different shades to make my page.

I applied a light color on the bird to differentiate it from other embellishments.

On the title I alternated two colors, I like the end result.

Here it is finished!
I hope you will like it and thank you.

remember too to watch the video process.

November Projects by Kavitha

Hello 2crafty fans!!

Kavitha here with you all today to share my 

November inspiration

"Adorable" - Layout

I love the flourish/swirly designs from 2crafy ,today

I have combined some frames and swirls to compose a elegant design.

I used Lucy's flourish frame and Celia's flourish to frame the

picture which is heat embossed with glitter mint embossing powder.

Around the frame I used Celebration swirls which is heat embossed 

with sassy sapphire embossing powder.

I finished off the layout with the title "Adorable" which perfectly suited the little girl.

It is heat embossed thrice with white embossing powder.

"Forest Fairy" - Canvas

I created this canvas in forest theme,after creating the mixed media

background I used some real tree barks and green moss

to create the composition.

 All my chipboard pieces are concentrated in the center of the canvas,

for the first layer I used cut up pieces of Viney page frame which 

are painted with light and dark green acrylic paints.

 For the second layer I heat embossed a 6" clock face with black embossing

powder and rubbed some silver wax over it.

 For the last layer I used corner Lorena & I just left it raw for contrast.

January Layouts by Kavitha

Hello friends,

Kavitha here today to share two layouts with you.

"Believe in Miracles"

For my first layout, I chose a soft pastel colour palette.

I used beautiful chippies to create the floral arrangement around the picture.

First I gave a coat of white gesso to all the chipboard pieces,
& I colored some of them and left some of them white.

I trimmed off the "Viney Page Frame" and used 

around the floral arrangement.

You can see in the photo above how I've combined the pieces.

"Cherish the Moment"

My second layout is soft shabby one against a black background.

create the composition.

I heat embossed the chippies with black and white embossing powders.

The butterflies are colored with watercolors.

November Inspiration by Lisa Griffith

Hello 2 Crafty Chipboard friends, it's Lisa here to share my projects for November.

'Today & Everyday'

Imagine my delight when one of the newest pieces of 2 Crafty Chipboard is another pretty
 version of a dandelion, I love them! I always love the title pieces too, this one is perfect.

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

'Whispy Dandelions'

'Today & Everyday'

'Lavender Shrub'

'ATC Words'

Except for the ATC piece 'Dream' at the top of my page that I painted black,

 I treated all my chippies the same way with white acrylic paint to make them 

stand out against my background.

My second project is a page in my art journal.

'Follow Your Instinct'

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

'Frames Tiny Henri's'

'Viney Page Frame'

'Marianne's Butterflies'

I cut up a piece of the 'Viney Page Frame' and painted it in some 13 arts paint, 

and then I used some Prima acrylic paint in gold to paint my 'Tiny Henri's Frame'

 and one of the 'Marianne's Butterflies', love how it turned out.

Thanks for looking, 

Hugs, Lisa xo

Some August Inspiration By Lisa Griffith

Hello 2 Crafty friends I have a couple of projects to show you today.

My first project is a light and dreamy layout.

'Dream'

I was in the mood to create something with an ultra feminine and 

shabby chic look with lots of pink :)

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

'Dream'

'Viney Page Frame'

'Thistle Shrub'

'Lavendar Shrub'

One of my absolute favourite 2 Crafty chipboards is the 'Viney Page Frame'.

I like to cut it up into long pieces. Here I stamped it lightly with brown ink after painting

with white Acrylic Paint.

As with the other chipboards I painted the title piece with white acrylic paint, and 

then I brushed on some pink mist and then lastly I brushed the edges with brown ink.

My second project is an art journal spread.

'Inspire'

For this project I painted my chipboards white and then randomly

 brushed them with brown ink.

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

'Moroccan Panel'

'Sybill's Name Plate'

See you soon,
