It's the season to SPARKLE a XMAS layout by Jenny J.

                                                                          Hi Everyone

Here is my first inspiration for December.

The chipboards involved are 

*Doodled frames

*Bauble ornament

*word It's time to SPARKLE

*Winter twig

I've started by applying clear gesso on my background and then, 

heavy gesso with my brayer.

I've built up my focal point on this whiter area.

As you can see above, a really cute frame is on my picture.

This "Doodled frames" piece is painted with a minty rustic paint 

and lightly rubbed with a metallic one.

Same treatment was applyed on one of the "Bauble ornament".

For the other chippie of that set,

it was heat embossed in red and

 I've putted a piece of scrap paper under to make it pop.

There is a few pieces of "Winter twig" as well.

They are only treated with 2 colors of brown paints

Finally, the word "It's the season" 

is covered with 2 different embossing powders.

This is it!

Hope you will have a wonderful time despite this Covid situation.

Stay safe everyone xx

"Me & My Dad" Layout and Video By Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone, 

I am happy to meet you again and to present my first page of this 

month of November  along with a step by step video.

I chose to make a page on the theme of Christmas, I like this period so much 

but this year I think it will be very difficult to share this celebration with the family

 with the new reconfinement measures taken in France.

I took this photo of my son with my grandson it was his first Christmas in 2019.

"Me and My Dad"

TO VIEW VIDEO CLICK HERE

2Crafty Chipboards used :

- Me & My Dad

- 12 X 12 Clock Faces

- Deer Set

- Stars

- Winter Twig

- 2019

- Merry Christmas Card Set Fine 

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

I wanted to feature chipboards on this page. 

I hope I have succeeded!

I mainly embellished each chipboard with 

Lindy's "White Purely" and "Chalk It Up" embossing powder.

Here on the Deer chipboards I like the sheer, shiny effect 

and I thought it was bold to add those words "Merry Christmas"

For the background I chose the "Clock Faces" chipboard board which I cut 

and I used this title "Me & My Dad" it was also obvious for my page.

A little reminder of the year!

Stars to shine!

Here I used the "Winter Twig" chipboards I really like their effect.

I added a lot of material to the bottom of my page to give relief and warmth. 

Finally, a few tone-on-tone flowers.

I hope I made you want to watch the video and gave you some inspiration.

See you soon!

"Beach Please" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello faithful friends of 2crafty!

I present to you my third inspiration for this summer month in France!

I was inspired by the colors of the photo to create my page.

 I wanted zenitude in this world always disturbed by these so difficult moments.

I wonder what my little girl is thinking right now.

"beach please" 

2Crafty Chipboards used :

- ATC Title Sticks Set 4

- Star Bubble Set

- Winter Twig Branches

- Fishing Net Bits

- Circle Stack

As always, I applied a coat of white gesso to each chipboard.

Which I then covered with a Lindy's Gang "Chalk it up" embossing powder.

CHALK IT UP is an ivory embossing powder speckled with black and gold spots.

I found it looked a lot like the sand on the beach.

I layered a lot of papers so that I could slide the chipboards between them.

For the "Fishing Net Bits" chipboard I applied a blue embossing powder.

By changing the color it also allows you to layer the chipboards.

I love this "Star Bubble Set" chipboard in this page it reminds me of water bubbles!

On the title I just added a little wax.

Without forgetting the flowers of the embellishments to sublimate 

with these magnificent chipboards.

Enjoy well and give yourself time to create.

"happy life" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Here I am with a new page for this month of July, already 6 months of the
 year have passed. Everything is going so fast!

I chose to make a summer page. 
I played with these two photos to make my layout.

"happy life"

2Crafty Chipboards used :

- ATC Title Sticks Set 3
- Circle-Revolution Frames
- Old Fence
- Winter Twig Branches
- Lighthouse

To start I applied a layer of white gesso on the chipboards.

On the "Lighthouse" chipboard I applied white cracking paste then a little wax.

For the "Circle-Revolution Frames" and "Old Fence" chipboards 
I applied brown embossing powder, once dry I rubbed with a file to give 
an aged appearance.

For the "Winter Twig Branches" I left natural just with a little white gesso.

For the title I just applied a little shiny wax to the white gesso.

Here it is finished.

 I hope this page has given you some inspiration especially with these wonderful chipboards. 

Thank you for always being here with us.

"Sweet" Layout by Marie Sabatier

For my layout today I was inspired by this photo

of a little boy, "Preyston".

it is a very recent photo but I printed it in a vintage way.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

- Arrow word set 1

- Doodled-Frames

- Seaweed Set

- Winter Twig

- Mesh Bits

I wanted to keep the wood effect of the chipboards, 

so I applied on each chipboard without insisting a little white gesso.

Then a mixture of white gesso with a turquoise ink

and to finish a little wax natural color.

Some close-ups:...

I found original to frame the boat the chipboard "Doodled-Frames" 

is well highlighted this way.

 Only on the title and on the chipboard "WinterTwig".

 Flowers, pebbles, embellishments to sublimate everything and voila!

I like the effect.

I hope this creation has given you ideas to create you too!

See you soon..
