Live Your Adventure By Marie Claude Rodier

Hi everyone,

I am here today to show you a new layout full of amazing 2Crafty goodies.

 I used a warm non traditional color palette for this one. I am really happy how it turned out.

“Live Your Adventure”

Frame Round Ornate was basecoated with a light coat of white gesso.

 Vanilla Sparks embossing powder was applied on top.

Vintage Hot Air Balloons were also basecoated. 

The biggest one was embossed with the same Vanilla Sparks powder.

 The smallest ones were embossed with a light mint powder.

Live your adventure was embossed with a cream powder.

Lattice leaves were covered with bronze wax and highlighted with dry brushed gesso.

Treasure By Marie Claude Rodier

Hi everyone!

I usually prefer to create layouts, but once in a while, I like to think outside the box. 

This project was created with an MDF decorative plank that I prepped with white gesso.

 I then used resin pieces, seashells and of course, beautiful 2Crafty chipboards!

 Hot air ballons and wings are a perfect fit.

"Treasure"

Every pieces was first basecoated with white gesso. Vintage Hot Air Ballons, Circle Tags Set 1 and Flourish Adornment Set 5 were then covered with cobalt blue and light turquoise acrylic paints.

Dark Blue watercolor was also applied to add more contrast and shadows.

Finally, white gesso was dry-brushed over all pieces to highlight them. 

White splatters were also added sparsely.

"Vintage Hot Air Balloons" Layout by Elena Martynova

Hello to all!

Today I want to show you my new project for our collaboration with CSI blog.

2Crafty is one of the sponsors of their challenge this month.

"You Are Awesome"

I solved the case by using the colour scheme from the scene.
My evidence includes:..

Dark background, Frames, Flowers, Transparent items, Book pages/text pattern

I made a voluminous and dynamic layout filled 

with fantasies and snatches of dreams.

A painting by Christian School helped me to create my project.

 I literally fell in love with her work! 

This amazing talented artist creates such beautiful paintings. 

I want to craft them all!

"A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes"by Marie Sabatier

For this first inspiration of this month of March, I used a 40X40 canvas in a 

vintage theme. I wanted to highlight this beautiful chipboard "clockfaces" 

and photos of this little boy "Preyston"

2Crafty Chipboard used :

- A dream is a wish your heart makes

- 12X12 clockfaces

- Steampunkcog strips

- Mini Squiggly bits

- Vintage hot air ballons

Some close-ups...

I applied a layer of white gesso on each chipboard and then applied several
layers of embossing powders of different colors.

Here on the chipboards "Vintage Hot Air Balloons"

I applied at least five different powder colors.

Embossing powders really look great on chipboards...

Here is the chipboard "Mini Squiggly Bits" with one color.

For the title I just applied a Hämatit color wax and a Rusty patina.

To finish I added on the chipboard "clocfaces" a touch of Rusty Patina.

Thank you for visiting the 2Crafty chipboard blog!

I hope this layout has inspired you. 

See you soon

Mixed media cards with Kripa Koushik

Hello friends,

This month, for my second project, I have 2 cards to share.
 They are non-standard cards approx. 6"x6" requested in this size in order to write a letter inside instead of a message. 

I started by cutting out some circles from Cocoa Vanilla pattern paper and coated them with white gesso. While that was drying, I coated all the 2crafty chipboard pieces with white gesso as well - a few gears from Steampunk Small & Medium, a small panel cut off from the Square Collage Panel and one piece from the Vintage Hot Air Balloon Set. I did NOT apply any gesso on the tile 2crafty chipboard piece 'You make me Happy'

To get an even coat of colour on the chipboard pieces, Ive directly applied stamp pads on the chipboard pieces.

 Here is the second card. The colour palette was directly based on the pattern paper.

Can you see how the Hot Air Balloon has a bright orange whereas the 'You make me happy' chipboard in the previous card looks darker and more vintage looking. That's because I didn't apply any gesso on the 'You make me happy' chipboard piece. Gesso makes colour look brighter on chipboard.

Thank you for visiting us today.

Wishing you all a very happy & creative week ahead.

Hugs,

Kripa
