Family pets by Sabrina Turpin

 Hello 2Crafty friends!

I hope you're all doing well and are excited about the holiday season that's coming up soon. For our family, one thing that's happening just before that is Neho's birthday! He's going to be a big 2 years old doggo! Yet, he's as mischevious as ever, and he makes sure that every day has a little bit of fun and joy.

"Family Pets"

On the "Summer Leaf Stems", I applied two coats of gray-teal paint, then rubbed a bit of silver wax on top with my finger.

For the "Steampunk Heart", I used shimmering teal embossing ink. On the "Checkboard Panel", I applied aged silver embossing enamel.

For the title, "Family Pets", I used two coats of black embossing powder. Then, I rubbed some silver wax on top.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in my layout:

Checkerboard panel [660045]

“Discover” by Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

This week was a very special one for my son Liam and us as his parents.
Our boy is graduating, going to high school next September!
The last few months of school were very strange given the weird times we're going through in 2020. He really missed seeing his friends and teachers in person, but they kept contact daily with video calls. As a mom, I'm so happy and proud of him, but also a bit sad that my first baby boy is turning the page on a great chapter of his life, starting an even better one.

"Discover"

On the "Star Badges", I applied a coat of metallic red paint and a teal embossing ink on top. 

For the "Checkboard Panel", I applied a coat of midnight-teal embossing powder, then a coat 

of midnight-bronze embossing powder and finally another coat of midnight-teal embossing powder. 

This gives a graduated color effect.

For the "Mini Title Stick Set 1", I simply inked the top to let the "life is good" title 

show through with its original chipboard color.

On the "Frames Circle Borders", I used teal ink and traced the borders with black ink. 

For the title, "discover", I applied two coats of red-bronze embossing powder.

For this layout I used the following chipboards:

Checkboard Panel [660045]

Frames Circle borders [FR0018]

Star badges [M00264]

Mini title stick Set 1 [MB022]

Discover [W00579]

That's all for me today! 

I hope you enjoyed this layout and that it gave you some inspiration for your own creations! 

I'll be back in a few weeks with more ideas to share with you guys! 

Until then, take care and have fun crafting!

#SNAPCHAT layout by Marie Sabatier

My third and last one for this month of November.

My inspiration is this picture of my son's arm with these tattoos and Steampunk chipboards including some of the new "Steampunk Arrow Set 1" collection.

For "Steampunk Arrow" chipboards I applied two coats of Lindy's Gang, Oakleaf Olive and Bronze Byzantine embossing powder

For the "Steampunk Strips" chipboards I applied a layer of Queen Sheba's Silver embossing powder and then skated with a rusty effect color without stressing

For the title, the clocks, the circle I applied black gesso and I also skated with a rusty effect color

A lot of work on this page but I had a great time working on these beautiful chipboards :

- Hastag word Set 2

- Clockfaces

- Steampunk Arrow Set 1

-Steamunk Strips

- Circle Revolution Frames

- Cherckerboard Panel

Here I finished for this month I hope you enjoyed it and if so do not hesitate

Tam's September Inspiration....

Hello there 2Crafty ones.

Tam here today to share another of my 2Crafty Chipboard Creations.....

"#Selfie"

This one is about some selfies I found on my phone, after a day spent with Cousins.

It made me smile, and I knew I wanted to scrap it.

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

"Checkerboard Panel"

"Geometric Arrows"

"Mini # Word Set 2"

As the stars of this layout are teenage boys, I decided to use a black background, 

and add some bright blues and limes and also some grunge to the page.

For my "#Selfie" Title from the "Mini #Word Set 2", I added black paint and
 placed it on top of a tag to enable me to give it some height on the layout.

I painted the "Geometric Arrows", firstly with white gesso and then I added some Dylusions Ink Sprays in 'Polished Jade', 'After Midnight', 'Fresh Lime' and 'Vibrant Turquoise'.

Instead of spraying them on, I opened the bottles, and painted on the ink spray with a brush. 

I really love the effect this gives, and I love that I can layer up a few colours for an ombre look.

I wanted the "Geometric Arrows" to look like they were travelling across the page,
so I  snipped some in half, tucking some underneath and placing some so it looked
 like they were going off of the edge of the layout.

This helps to create movement and flow to the page.

I just adore these "Geometric Arrows".

They are a recent addition to the 2Crafty Chipboard Range, and I just know I will use them a lot.

Perfect for boyish pages, travel pages etc.

Underneath all my layers, I added the "Checkerboard Panel".

I applied white gesso, and then added some random stamping in black ink.

I wanted to achieve a grungy/boyish look.

I also added some to the right hand side of the page, poking out from underneath the tags.

I love the way this one came together.

I hope this has inspired your to get creative.....

I'll be back again next month to share some more designs.

Until then, you can check out my blog HERE.
