Album - Alice in Wonderland By Elena Martynova

Hello! lovely creative friends!

 Today I'd like to share with you my new inspiration -

 a mixed media album with amazing 2Crfaty products!

I've been creating this album for a whole year. 

Now with gusto making several pages at once, then putting it off for several months. 

Originally there were supposed to be five spreads but 

I had a lot of paper left, so I made two more.

I also had to redo the binding, which further increased the album's creation time.

There were no thoughts at all about the cover. I kept sorting through

 the pieces of fabric and suede... but there was nothing suitable. 

I decided to use linen with gray stripes, but it had to be combined with 

something and so successfully came a piece of scarlet linen. 

I wrapped them around the ends of the pages, the spine, and added them to the front cover.

Size 26x26 cm, spine thickness 9 cm

First, I stamped the fabric on the cover and applied crackle paste through a stencil.

Chipboard covered with black embossing powder.

Layered pieces of paper, lace and cutting.

Decorated with flower metal door handle and toppings: with micro beads and glitter.

I invite you to view the album review with all the secrets

 and openers, and then photos of the pages.

I painted chipboards with metallic colors by the Fabrika Decoru.

On the cover and this spread I used these 

2Crafty Chipboard pieces....

Clock Face Discs

Frame Ingrid's

Formal Flourish 3

Flourish Adornment Set 6

 

I like the second spread very much due to the contrasting 

combination of pink and blue paper. Very beautiful contrast.

Pages were decorated with a Moroccan Bits chippies.

The third spread is in pink and beige colors. 

I added a bit of contrast by coloring the chipboard in blue shades.

On these spread here are the chippies:

Moroccan Bits

Steampunk Collage 

Checkerboard Panel

 

The fourth spread  is also my favorite. 

Mainly due to how well the chipboard fit in here.

This is how the inside of the page is decorated

an Elegant Flourishes chippie and a bit of stamping underneath.

 

The large dial is only half-glued to the page.

This spread is the richest on the chipboards,
 I made a separate collage for it.

Clock Face Discs

6" Clock Face Frames

Key Set Mini's

Elegant Flourishes

 

The fifth spread, which should have been the last.

It looks unusual due to the diamond-openers.

I'm just in love in this chip frame Lucy's Flourish with curls  :)))

The sixth spread was very rich due to the paper prints.

I don't really like it, but it's here unusual triangular opening pages.

These chips were used in the fifth and sixth spreads

Element Set 3

Frame Lucy's Flourish

Ornate Buckles 

Steampunk Collage

 

And finally the final seventh spread.

 

Here are the chips on this spread

Flourish Adornment Set 6

Tahnya's 6" Border

Well, that's probably all I wanted to show you today.

 I would like to inspire you to creative achievements.

 Thank you for your attention, friends! Create together with 2Crafty, 

create your own fairy stories, it is very interesting and exciting.

January Inspiration by Elena Martynova plus Video

Hello my dears! It is my turn to share some  projects today.
 I'm really happy to be in the  2Crafty design team!
It has given me the chance to work with wonderful chipboards, that

 have some wonderfully exquisite designs, great quality and such interesting details!

"Once Upon A Dream"

The idea of this layout was inspired by our weather. Winter in Russia, everything is covered

 with fluffy snow, but no frost. So I have mixed feelings - according to the calendar 

we have winter - and  spring and flowers blooming is in the soul!

 White background like a blanket of the purest snow. A scattering of flowers covered with 

frost and frozen. I covered chipboard with two different embossing powders by Lindy's. 

 I have used white and mint.

 I love the big chipboard Title. I chose that  for the interesting font and lovely words

 'Once Upon a Dream'. This is a universal title that can be used in any romantic work.

Very fine twigs and tendrils. So fine and delicate.

Another one of my loves are frames! They draw attention to the photo and
 magically attract the eye in addition to making a beautiful adornment.

 Look at these cute tiny flowers! They seem to be just weightless!

 The key hiding behind the flowers, it opens the door to a wonderful world of dreams!

I have also made step by step X step Video Tutorial. I hope you like it!

 Vintage Keys

 Elegant Flourishes

 Cherry Blossom

 "Cards"

 For my second project I took the same collection of paper and made three cards. Two cards are large and one card is very little (there were pieces of paper left over and I didn't want to throw them away).

 Curls of chipboard elegantly hug a bouquet of flowers.

 I want to use these delicate leaves in every projects :)))

 

 I decorated a small round doily with a flower in the center. I think it looks very nice!

 Here are some close ups..

I made a mixed media background with modeling paste and a stencil, some random stamping and added color with the ''Frosty Forest Green'' and the ''Tea Pot Purple'' Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays.

 I heat embossed the ''Mini Branches'' & the ''Lattice Leaves'' with the ''Oakleaf Olive''
 and the ''Corner Leafy Swirl''  with the ''Orbit Olive Gold'' Lindy's embossing powders.

The ''Magical'' title from the ''Fine Word Set 2'' was also heat embossed
 with the ''King Midas Gold'' powder.

Finally, I added some ''Copper'' micro beads and made some splatters
 with 13arts Splash ink in ''Gold''.

''Imagine''

My second layout was created in blue, black and silver shades.

And a closer look at the details...

Bits'' & the ''Clock Face Frames'' chipboard pieces with ''Black'' 13ats Splash ink.

The ''Dream'' and the ''Imagine'' title words from the ''ATC Words 1'' set
