Starting with my title - Beyond Words

keeping it quite simple & 2 coats of gesso...

Next up are the Winter leaves, Where I have Inked them with my

favourite brand of inks - Tim Holtz Distress Oxide' Frayed Burlap'

Then the Freda's butterflies again inking them

 this time with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide - Victorian velvet, 

A really nice subtle dusty pink....

Now with the few Small and Medium Steampunk gears

I have thoughtout my page... again with the inking....

'Treasure the Little Things' Created by Rachael Funnell

'Treasure the Little Things'

Hello everyone! Rach with you sharing my first bit of  Feburary inpsiration...

With Vanessa's generosity 2Crafty is sponsoring one of the February sponsors for
 CSI Color, Stories, Inpsiration Challenges.... 
 This means the 2 Crafty design chics have been asked to be guest detectives!
Which is always FUN...
So Today I share with you my layout for Case #272

2 Crafty Chipboard used: 

Leafy Frame

 Winter leaves 

Treasure the little things title

A SUPER CUTE bugs from funky bugs pack!

How I solved the Case:

Scene and scheme: 
inspired by all of the colors ie: Blueish gray,White
, Khaki green, Brick red & the cream yellow

Testimony: 
Inspired by the Word ‘Cozy’

Evidence: 
leaves, mist/splatters,Woodland Creatures I went with a bug.

I started with given the 'Treasure the litte things' Title & Winter leaves chipboard
pieces a coat of gesso, then once dried I inked with a Grey then over the top of the grey
, inked with pale blue to acheive that bluish gray.... Adding just a little more
 of the pale blue on the title!!!!

I wanted this little C.U.T.I.E funky bug to be noticed, sitting on my page... SO I

 decided to keep it simple & give it coat of gesso... 

The Leafy Frame I started with inking it green, then I cut the frame at the 
top right & bottom left before adhering it down.... 
I then sneakily hid the cut frame with adding some flowers,leave clusters... 

Thanks for stopping by!
 I'll be back later on in the month with more till then HAPPY Crafting!

Hello 2 Crafty fans!

Rach with you sharing my second bit of  January inspiration,
this layout featuring ME and some GORGEOUS 2Crafty chipboard pieces.... 

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

6" Mandala 1

Autumn leaves

12" Boho floral arrow

This is Me (title)

Light bulb word set 

Winter leaves

I've used some Mintay papers, next I added some stamping on my background.....

 Then inspired by my layout from earlier in the month, I've used the Rose Gold beewax 

paste again. Applying the paste by using my finger to apply to the 6" Mandala

 & a few of the Autumn and Winter leaves

The rest of the chipboard pieces I started with by giving them coats of gesso... 

The title This is Me has three coats, letting each coat dry before applying the next coat!!!

The 12" Boho floral arrow & Moment Light bulb have a single coat of gesso,

 then finished of the Boho floral arrow by colouring in the flower with Peach & guava 

gelatos AND the peach gelato around the edge of the bulb.... 

Thanks for stopping by & I'll be back next month with more...   x

March Inspiration By Lilibleu

"Sweet"

Hello 2Crafty fans!!

I come back today with my March projects, two pages very different from one another :)

For the first one, "Sweet", I wanted a fresh and spring-spirit page.

The title "Sweet" is painted with matte green paint and the butterflies are 

embossed with sky blue powder to make them stand out.

I also painted matte green the "Frame Lucy's Flourish" chipboard. 

The "Winter Leaves" are painted metallic green to give them a shiny aspect.

2Crafty Products used:

- Word Circles Set 1

- Frame Lucy's Flourish

- Fanciful Butterfly

- Winter Leaves

*******

 

"Cherish"

For this second project, I wanted to work a color that I never use: red. I've had this picture with me for a while and I could not resist the pleasure of using it. I must admit that I quite like the final result.

I first painted salmon the "Rose Vine Border" chipboard before putting some red ink on flowers.

I painted in silver colors the "Circle Lace Panel" chipboard and, in order to give more

 brilliance, I covered it with gray glitter. To finish, I added a few drops of red ink.

The butterfly is embossed with white powder and I also added a few drops of red ink.

The "Lattice Leaves" leaves are painted orange.

2Crafty Chipboard Used..

- Circle Lace Panel

 - Rose Vine Border
