'You are AWESOME' By Rachael Funnell

 

Hello 2 Crafty fans!

Today I have this masculine, mixed media, grungy page

that features my son.  I hope inspires You in someway...

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

You are Awesome

Deer head

6"circled barb wire frame(the smaller frames)

2020

Wing Set 2

ATC- Arrows

Square barbed wire frame

Starting with the Wing I have sitting out from some paper layers,

I have left moslty raw with adding just a little gesso to the tips 

of the wing for a little more interest...

For my title - You are awesome , 2020 & the ATC - Arrows

 I kept it fairly simple, but effective, by giving all these

 chipboards a couple coats of gesso...

With the Deer head, again keeping it simple and 

inking with a very similar colour to the raw chipboard,

using the Tim Holtz - Frayed Burlap...

For the circled barb wire frame, Square barbed wire

Inking them all with black & then cutting the square barbed wire frame 

into smaller pieces & the Circles frames in half and gluing them down.. 

AND that's it from me today.

Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time

**************

I don't like to waste and I'm always trying to think of another way to use up the
 negative/leftover chipboard pieces...  So I thought this would be a GREAT way
to some of these pieces.... 😀

Create some Christmas cards...

I wanted to show the base set up my Christmas cards, as you can see I've used the
 same basic design, just used a different color and negative chipboard pieces..

 They look awesome hey!!!  😀

Then adding these 2 Crafty Chipboard

Merry Christmas Script card pack & Mini Reindeers

and a couple of other bits created these.... 

Left the Merry Christmas Script words raw..

The Mini Reindeers have a coat of gesso and a dusting of
Tim Holtz - Clear rock candy Distress Glitter...

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL Christmas & ALL the VERY BEST for 2017!  x💓x💓

June Layouts By Rachael Funnell

'Happy'

  Hello 2 Crafty fans, Rachael with you sharing a couple of layouts I created for this month...   Before I continue...

Please remember while your here be sure you have

become a blog follower & leave a blog comment to
be eligible to go in our monthly draw for a great chippie prize pack.

These are the 2 Crafty chipboard I have used on my first layout
 'Happy'

I decided to use up some negative/leftover piece from the 'Chervon bits'..
Gave then a light coat of gesso & cut & layered underneath photo...

 Not to take away any of the details of the arrow & feather from the 'Western set' 
I gave the arrow a light coat of gesso & the feather a light coat of blue ink...

 ATC - Tiny Stars I just inked black so they would stand out a little more!

Added a couple coats of gesso to the loopy font 'Happy' a little blue mist. I still wanted
the blue to be a bit stronger... SO! I colored it with Artline permanent blue maker..
Was very happy (hehehe) how it turned out!

Cut this 'Tattoo Swirl' into 2 pieces, added a coat of gesso & finished it off with a
thick layer of Fabrika Decoru - Texture Paste with sand!
LOOKS GREAT HEY...

********************

' ♥ 2 Dance'

For my 2nd layout these are the 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used.

After adding a layer of gesso to this '♥ 2 Dance' piece from the '6x6 dance theme sheet'

 I added red using a mist to the ♥ ,  finishing this off with adding some teal ink to the

 bottom half of the word dance!

Gave these Stars which are also from the '6x6 dance theme sheet' a coat of gesso & 

 Fabrika Decoru - Texture Paste with sand! 

This 'Juliet heart' has a coat of gesso & finished it of with some red mist....

I thought this 'Flying Bird' would stand out better sitting on the teal flower with adding

 a coat of gesso! Did the same to the 'Circle Heart frame' that is sitting over the photo!

Adding coat of gesso & Teal, Red & black water colors to finish this 'Wing' ....

  

To the 'Indian Feathers' & 'Soft Feathers' have a light coat of gesso & then while

 the gesso was still wet added some gold & pink glitter! 

Thank you for stopping by to check out my projects for this month!
Hope you were inspired in someway...  :)
