Tranquil Moments by Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Today I'd like to share a layout I made as a guest designer for CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration for their Case No. 300 challenge! 

For this challenge, I was really inspired by the monochromatic background and punchy accent colors, and I had the perfect chipboards to achieve a stunning effect!

"Tranquil Moments"

On the "Decorative disc set in the back, I applied black paint and then dabbed some pink metallic embossing ink. For the "Frangy" just on top of it, I use honey colored ink, then added some orange embossing ink on top, dabbed some pink embossing ink and finally traced the borders with black ink.

On the "6 Dotted Heart Circle Frame", I applied green embossing ink.

 For the "12" Border Delicate Lace" right behind it, I used pink embossing enamel.

For the title text, "Word Tranquil Moments", I used black sand-effect embossing powder.

The following 2Crafty chipboards were used for this layout:

 6"Dotted Heart Circle Frames [FR0120]

Delicate Lace Border [DB0120]

Frangy [M00121]

Decorative Disc set #2 [M00808]

Tranquil Moments [W00566]

That's all for me today!

 I hope you enjoyed this layout and it gave you some new ideas for your own creations! 

See you soon with new creations to share with you!

'Tranquil Moments' with Lisa Amiet

Hello 2Crafty fans!

It's Lisa here on the blog today to share some inspiration with you.

I have created a layout,

 using some of the gorgeous chipboard designs available.

'Tranquil Moments'

2Crafty Products used:

For this layout I have used watercolours on my base page, 

in colours to match my photo.

I have used some of the 'Fluer de Lis ATC',

which gives you two sizes to use.

I have finished them in a matt black, 

and scattered a few across my page.

I love the contrast of the black chipboard with these colours.

I have also used one of the 'Mixed Fine Border Set',

that I have also finished in matt black. 

I fell for the simplicity and beauty of this border. 

Perfect for my page. 

To finish I have used the 'Tranquil Moments' title.

That's exactly what this moment I took the photo was. 

This has also been finished in matt black. 

I'm really happy with how this layout turned out. 

Not exactly how I first pictured it, but I am loving the final result.

I hope that you like what I have created.

Until next time!

Tranquil Moments with Emma

Hi 2Crafty friends, Emma here with you all today.

Today I have a nice quick layout for you.

I used some beautiful chipboard pieces and applied simple techniques to them just
 to make them shine.

 Here are the chipboard pieces I used....

Tranquil moments

Clock Face Discs
Decorative Dangling Bits

I really did want to keep these as simple as I could, so I painted all but the title with black gesso, and I black glitter embossed the clock faces.

The decorative bits I rubbed a little Nuvo mousse over them just to give them a subtle hint of colour and shine.

I love how soft they look against the background paper.

And the title I painted in a blue acrylic and then went over the top with a white crackle.

Once dry I rubbed a little Prima wax over the top to give it the blue shade to match the theme of my layout.

I really love the simple approach to the chipboard especially when delicate pieces are used as it just lets them sing on their own.

I hope I have given you all a little Saturday inspo and I will catch you all again soon,

Em xx

"Tranquil Moments" Layout by Marie Sabatier

My first inspiration for this month of June.

Summer is approaching here in France so I chose to make a colorful page.

My inspiration is this chipboard, "Trudi's vine", so I chose also a very flowery paper.

2Crafty Chipboard Used....

- Word Tranquil Moments

- Trudi's Vine

- Foliage Set 1

A layer of white gesso on each chipboard.

 For the chipboard "Trudi's Vine" 

I chose five colors of embossing powder that I worked one after the other.

- Pink and coral for flowers

- Green meadow, olive green and dark green for the leaves

 When we heat the powder, it mixes a little and we get a great effect

 Here for the "Foliage" chipboards.

For the title I chose a Mango color paste.

I hope you enjoyed this page!

See you soon.
