'Love You Long Time' Layout By Rachael Funnell

'Love You Long Time'

Hello Everyone!

Rachael with you today sharing my first 2 Crafty layout for January 2020....

This layout featuring a photo of my teenage son & myself....

2 Crafty Chipboard pieces used: 

Fine leaf bush

Messy Square

6x4 phrase sticks Set 4

Ornate Chuncky Heart

Foilage set 1

First up this Ornate Chucky heart 

I have heat embossed this gorgeous heart with a teal...

This frame I have sitting on my photo and another chipboard piece I

 heat embossed is the Messy Square with a nice mid blue!

Using two types of foilage for this layout

The Foilage set 1 & Fine leaf bush

Where I've inked a few of  Foilage set 1 with green ink!

And for a diferent contrast I have given a Fine leaf bush

a thick coat of gesso before cutting into smaller

pieces & placing them thoughout my flower clusters.....

AND lastly but certainly not least, is one of the strips from 

the  6x4 phrase sticks Set 4 - Love you long time, 

where I have lightly painted on some gesso..

TIP: If you do end up getting any gesso in any of the letters,

which I did with a couple...

 I just grab my craft knife and traced over each letter 

& it seem to removed most of that gesso!  

That's it from me today!

Until next time...

Stay Curious - Altered CanvasBy Karan Gerber

HI Friends welcome to the 2 Crafty Chipboard Blog today.
 It is Karan Gerber here hosting the blog and I have na altered canvas to share with you.

I was rummaging through some old kits this week and came across some older
 Graphic 45 Curiosity Shoppe papers and stickers (remember that collection) I
 thought it would be perfect for a project, so here is what i have for you today.

"Stay Curious"

I just love using clocks, and cannot get enough of them. Our lives are run by a clock,
 our work day, our appointments; when we sleep and when we rise, when we eat; all
 determined by the those little hands on the clocks! that is why I love using clocks!

I wanted to use the geometric arrows as a clock hand but the glass bottles were

 already glued on so I turned them on their end and love that. 

Some detail images......

 Until Next Time: Happy Scrapping!

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!!

My second layout ...

"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'

February Shares With Rachael Funnell

Hello 2 Crafty Chipboard fans!   Before I continue... Please remember to become a blog follower & leave a comment to be eligible to go in our monthly draw for a great chippie prize pack. The more comments you leave, the more chances to win.   Today!  I have two layouts to share with you..... first up is layout one.   'Cousins'

    These are the 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I've used on this page...    

I gave this "Cousins"word a couple of coats of gesso, then cut & inked with black a heart from a "Heart clumps" & added that heart to where the dot for the i was.....

I also cut 2 more smaller clusters of hearts from the "Heart Clumps" & inked them in black....

I cut some "Sequins negative bits" into smaller pieces, gave them a coat of gesso & once dried I thought it would look cool to ink them a few different colors & added them randomly onto my layout....

  I have few Tiny hearts from the "ATC - Tiny Hearts & Stars" some have a coat  of gesso & the others I've inked black...  For the"Lattice Leaves" I started off by adding a coat of gesso & finished it with  just a light inking with a teal ink....  

   I didn't want it to over power the photo when using the "Lace heart frame" so I just  gave it just one coat of gesso...  

      For my 2nd layout!   'Truly Madly Deeply'

  These are the 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I've used on this page...   

  I cut into smaller strips the  "Fine Heart border"& inked black...   

  Lightly coated this "Tattered Heart" & finished off with randomly inking it with some teal ink.... Like in my first layout I have added Tiny hearts from "ATC - Tiny Hearts & Stars"  this time gave them a coat of 13@rts gold ink......  

Adding  a just a single coat of gesso to these leafy stems from the "Foilage set 1"  

  Again I started with giving the "Truly Madly Deeply" a couple of coats of gesso,  I wanted to make the title to stand O.U.T a little more so I inked the hearts pink & teal...   

  To finalize this layout, I gave it all a good splatter with black mist which ended up getting most  of the chipboard pieces & finished off this page off very nicely....  :)    That's it from me today...Thanks for stopping by! I will be back next month, till then Happy Scrapping!
