He's always the first one to get in the boat, all set for a new adventure.

polka dots, stripes, text pattern, fringe .

I made especially for 2Crafty fans a video.

Sea projects by Elena

 Hello crafty friends, Elena stopping by today to share 

my latest projects for the 2Crafty Design Team.

I prepared two works, because I was inspired by our chipboards

 and could not do one thing :)))

"Sea and Dog"

 I've used the stunning St.Tropez collection by Prima to create this LO.

The photograph told me how to arrange the two pieces of paper: blue for the sky and
 brown for the soil.

  

I started by stencilling background circles using texture paste.

Next I made a clouds out of tissue paper and  refreshed it with sprays Lindy's.

 

I added stamping and Circle Flowers and Birds 

Also in this layout I used my favorite chipboard Dandelions 

 

Last but not least I added a title to finish it off. 

My second project:

ATC "Shards of Sea"

My series is named so for a reason. I took a sheet of clear plastic and cut it randomly into 4 pieces. Painted these pieces with alcohol ink and glued pieces of Mesh Bits.

Then I let go of the inspiration and began to create a composition
 of pieces of gauze, shells, flowers, metal jewelry and beads.

The main decoration of ATCs - chipboard Anchors  and Seahorses.

I tinted them a little with chameleon paint by the Fabrika Decoru and wax by Prima.

 

Added headlines-stickers by 7 DOTs.

In these ATCs and layout I have used the following

2Crafty Chipboard pieces:

Circle Flowers 

Dream A Little Dream 

Dandelions 

Mesh Bits

Anchors 

Intricate Seahorses 

Birds Set 

That's it for today! I hope I could inspire you in one way or another.

Thank you for stopping by today!

"Today & Everyday" by Elena Martynova

Hello dear friends!

This page is about me and my husband. Next summer we are going to St. Petersburg.
This is a very beautiful city in the North of Russia, with stunning palaces, fountains
and monuments & so many different museums too!!
 I was in the Hermitage as a child and I remember its beautiful gates all my life ! I added the
 Iron Gates into the background, like were in the background in my pictures!

"Today & Everyday"

The gate is covered with three layers of Lindy's silver 

embossing powder which  gave the chipbord more volume.

I love the titles so much. 

They are filled with meaning and are made in a beautiful font.

 To make the layout look more harmonious, I added a very delicate chipboard
 Tahnya's 6" Border.

The gates are raised above the page to make them look more voluminous.

Birds from the Birds Set flutter around.

In this photo you can find a lion's head with a ring in its mouth. In St. Petersburg 

there are lions everywhere. (of course not living, and in the form of statues :)))

 I also raised an inscription and put it under the plaster heart.

Exquisite flowers by Freetany Flowers add tenderness and lightness!

In this layout I have used next chippies.

Happy crafting!

July Inspiration - By Lilibleu

"Making Memories"

Hello everybody !!

Today, it is my turn to present my two inspirations for July.
I made two pages.

  For the first one, I wanted a vintage spirit using this old black and white photo
 of a little girl I found on Pinterest. To accentuate this vintage style, I used a
 background looking like wood and aged and ripped wallpaper.

2Crafty Chipboard Products used:

- Word Circles Set 1

- 12x12 clockfaces

- Ava's Frames

- word "Making Memories"

Close-ups:

As usual, I created a fairly loaded mixed media background. 

To highlight my chipboards, I embossed them in different colors. 

I love the "Ava's Frames" chipboard, I find it beautiful and I embossed it in white. The round part surrounds my photo to enhance it. The foliage is decorated with flowers.

The "Happy" word from "Word Circles Set 1" is embossed with white powder.

The title "Making Memories" is embossed in sky blue to make it stand out

 from my yellow background.

You can also see in the close-up the foliage part of "Ava's Frames".

I made this page using the following moodboard from Mixed Media & Art:

********

"Happiness"

For my second project I chose to make a page with a combination of colors

 I don't often use: green, red and brown.

I painted all my chipboards in different colors to make them stand out

 and create some depth.

2Crafty Chipboard Products used:

- Line Words - Happiness Borders

- Birds Set

- Harlequin Clumps 

- flourish adornment set 5

- Flowers with leaves

The "Flourish adornment set 5" foliage is painted white and I added drops 

of green ink on it. I love the finesse of its drawing.

The title "Happiness" is painted black and the "Harlequin Clumps" chipboard 

 is painted white. I added green drops of ink on it

Another chipboard I find very lovely is the "Flowers with leaves" chipboard.

 I like its big size which dresses up a page very well. I painted it in white and 

added drops of green ink on it.

I also added two birds that give the impression they're taking off from 

the "Flowers with leaves" and I simply painted them in green.

*******

Here is a small bonus page on which I use several 2 Crafty chipboards

and with which I had the joy to be among the winners of the 

 Lindy's Gang Page June challenge.

2Crafty Chipboard Products used:

- Harlequin Clumps 

- Leafy Shrub Set 1

- Hello Love title 

- Mini Flourish Bits

The foliage "Leafy Shrub Set 1" is painted purple.

The title is embossed in black. The "Harlequin Clumps" are painted purple.

The foliage "Mini Flourish Bits" is painted purple.

And that's all for today!

See you back here soon with some more 2Crafty inspirations.
