2 Crafty Chipboard used..
  Key to my Heart title 

Frame heart String

Bird set

 Funky Arrow

 Bead hanging hearts

  Foliage set 1

I started off with giving a coat of gesso to most of these chipboard pieces...

  Then decided that the bird, the bead hanging hearts & the title Key to my Heart 

  looked good left as is...

After the gesso dried on the Foilage, from Foilage set 1 then gave it a good coat of

 texture paste & finish it with by adding some teal & green colors!

Around my photo, I've used the larger Frame heart string... Once the coat of 
gesso dried  I then added some pink to the frame!

I inked this Funky Arrow with Silver ink & it ended up getting a few white splatters, 

Which I  ❤️  the end result!!

"Cherish"

2 Crafty Chipboard used: which include a couple of the new released pieces  

Fine word set 1– Cherish 

Humming bird 

Arrowed Heart 

Circle dot frame

Beaded heart border

2016   I Sooo ❤️ the Fine words... I started off with adding a coat of gesso to the   Fine word - Cherish then a coat of gel medium & the finish with some pink mist spray...  

  Gave a coat of gesso to this Circle dot frame & finished it with a few pastel color crystals! I think it looks SO PRETTY....  

Another new FAVORITE of mine from the new released range is the GORGEOUS
 Humming bird  SO pretty & delicate!!  

I started with a VERY light coat of gesso & finished it off with a rainbow of watercolors....
 VERY HAPPY with how it turned out...  :) 

Once the coat of gesso dried on this Beaded heart border, cut it in half
 & placed it either side of my page....

 2016 has been inked with some silver ink, Arrowed Heart with some light purple ink!

Just before I go today!

I thought I would also share this ATC that I created as part of my DT work for

 More Than Words - Mini Challenge.. 

I have used a Bubble Word - Fun & gave it a coat of gesso then while still wet added 

some pink glitter & finished with adding to the back, a layer of black cardstock so that the

 word FUN would stand out more... 

'Fun Times'

April Shares With Rachael Funnell

"My Happy Place"

Hello! Rachael with you sharing my 2 Crafty Chipboard April projects... Before I contniue just a reminder!!    Remember  Become a blog follower & leave a blog comment to

  For my first layout "My Happy Place" This photo was taken in January on my birthday! It has taken me a while, BUT, I think my family have finally realized that if they just  look at the camera at first photo when I'm trying to get those family photos, then  I am happy & I wont keep annoying them for more...  lol!   These are the 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I have used...  

   I gave this 'Corner Archer' & a few 'ATC - hearts' a couple of coats of gesso....     I decided that I wanted  'ATC - hearts' to stand out a little more so, I inked them black...  

   I inked a couple of the 'Groovy flowers' in black also & finished them off with a rhinestone!  

'My Happy Place' chipboard title - I gave it a coat of gesso, then added a coat of t

texture paste & finished it off with a lightl spritz of some pink mist...  

      My 2nd creation, another layout.. 'Catching Waves'

  These are the 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I have used...  

I cut a 'Chain length' into smaller pieces & inked them dark brown...

Added a single coat of gesso to this bird...

  I wanted to bring more attention to my two kids sitting on the rocks but didn't want to  overpower the photo so! I gave a coat of gesso to this 'Doily Frame'   

  I added a coat of gesso..  then a layer of texture paste to the 'Catching Waves' title,  & finished it off with a blue & teal mists...  

  I really LOVE the detail to this 'Anchor' & didn't want to lose any of it, SO! I VERY  lightly added just a little gesso & inked the edge with black..  

  That's it from me today! See you again next month....  :)
