"Those Eyes" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone, 

I am very happy to see you again for the first layout of this month of June.

I was inspired by this title "Those Eyes" and my grandson's eyes. 

I know that a granny is not objective but I can't help but fall for this look.

"Those Eyes" 

The 2Crafty Chipboard used:

- "Those Eyes"

- 6 inch Zipper Frames

- Star Bubble Set

To achieve this layout I left my comfort zone a bit, it’s fun from time to time.

I really wanted to use this "Zipper Frames" chipboard and wanted a fun vibe.

After applying a layer of white gesso, I applied embossing powder in different shades of turquoise,

gray blue and green.

I did the same on the "Star Bubble" chipboards. 

Next, I arranged the chipboards and other embellishments using my page's background design.

I love these shots that allow us to see the perspective of a layout.

A very simple layout but I had a lot of fun doing it and my grandkids loved it (lol).

Here's another wonderful memory scraped with my favorite chipboards.

See you soon!

Josephine by Emma Zappone

Hello 2Crafty friends!

Emma with you today, sharing a little 5x7 Canvas featuring some of the new pieces that were released earlier this year. I have entitled this canvas 'Josephine'.

I just love the chipboard and it's finishes on this project. Working on a smaller scaled canvas allows for the chipboard to be a lot more dominant.

Here are the chipboard elements I used.....

Zipper Frames
Foliage Set 9
Scribble Flower Set

To allow the chipboard to really pop from the canvas I painted them all in complimentary colours to match the background.

And then to make them stand out even more, I added some emboss powders to them. Firstly a pretty mint for the zipper frames.

And on the Scribble flowers a clear glaze was heat set to make them super shiny. This finish was also applied on the new foliage pieces. This makes the pink and greens really shimmer and shine.

I really love treating the chippy this way as it makes them really come to life.

I do hope this project inspires you a little. Thank you for joining me today.

Stay safe and crafty everyone.
Em xx
