Tropical Sunset by Tammy Klingner

Hi there 2Crafty Creatives!!

Tam here today to share my latest creation:

A layout about a night I don't ever want to forget....

Look at all that gorgeous chipboard!!!

I didn't need to add much more...when the chipboard is so stunning, it does the  hard work for you!!

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

"Tropical Sunset Title"

"Summer Leaf Stems"

"Cheryl's Floral Frame Set"

Let's take a closer look......

I began by applying white gesso to ALL of the chipboard.

I then used watercolours to add colour to the flowers and the frame.

I trimmed the flowers from the smaller frame in the "Cheryl's Floral Frame Set", and added them to the top of the larger frame.

I added some doodling with black and white pens to add some definition.

I love how these flowers look and I really like the colours too.

I tried to go for a more pastel look.....but somehow colour ALWAYS takes over when I create.

I guess it's 'my thing'.

I trimmed down some of the "Summer Leaf Stems", and applied white paint and a few doodles with a black pen.

I then poked these in amongst the flowers.

For the "Tropical Sunset Title", I added watercolours in an ombre effect.  

I only did this to the Tropical word, I purposely left the word sunset white, for contrast.

There you have it!

I'll be back next month to share some more chipboard creations!

Until then, you can find me on my BLOG.

Softness for the Month of May By Jennifer Snyder

Hello. 
 Jennifer Snyder here today to share some of the pieces I created through the month.  
 I have a layout and a card.  I'll start with the layout first.  

BUT before I start... Please remember to become a blog follower & leave a blog comment to

be eligible to go in our monthly draw for a great chippie prize pack.

 I created this using the May Flying Unicorns kit, which featured Prima papers. 

I added the following chipboard pieces from 

2Crafty :  "Formal Flourish 1", "Cheryl's Floral Frame Set",  "Chicken Wire - Medium".

I painted all the chipboard pieces with cream colored acrylic paint.  Next,   I coated the  "Formal Flourish 1" and  "Cheryl's Floral Frame Set" with  Vintage Ivory embossing powder.  This has tiny flecks of gold in it for a  cool effect and bits of vintage elegance.  

The  "Chicken Wire" chipboard was left just painted.   

You can see in these images that the chipboard just blends nicely.  

Next, I'd like to show you a baby card I created using  some adorable 
2Crafty chipboard pieces as my focal points.  

The 2Crafty chipboard pieces used here are: 
2Crafty Chipboard - " Mini Rulers"  and  "Teddy Bears".

The  "Teddy Bears" are the sweetest chipboard bears I have ever seen -
 complete with delicate details that are perfect for my baby card.  

I created a wash by adding a little water to some gesso and painting it lightly
 on both chipboard pieces.  The details are too adorable to cover up with paint
 or chunky treatments. I also think the clean and fresh feel of the white wash 
works well with the baby themed card.    

Thanks for stopping by and following the creativity here at 2Crafty.

    This time round, I have decided to scrap a page on my lovely pet dog. She will be turning  15 this year.....yes, 15 and she is still going strong.  I know that time is limited hence I'm documenting her moments around us.  So here's the layout.  

  And some of the close up shots of the chipboards.  

  Do check out my 5minute video tutorial to find out how I have created the  beautiful Hawaiian background which is also inspired by the sea.  In the video, you will also see how I have used different media on the chipboards.  

  These are the gorgeous 2Crafty chipboards I have used:            Hope you like what I shared today.
