"Spring is Here May 2022" by Amy Voorthuis

   Goodmorning amazing 2Crafty friends, 
Today we celebrate Kingsday in my country so everyone except the people who work in the catering industry have a day off. This day is always a lot of fun and you have family time which is nice too. 
This time I made a layout which has bolder colors then I normally use, for this layout I have used a 2018 collection by Graphic 45 called "Flutter" The pictures are made at the tulip fields near our home last year. For this layout I have used one of the new designs the beautiful feathers. 

Spring is here: 

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Frame Jenna
Spring is here
Fine Word Set - Months
Feather Outline Set -NEW-
Leafy Sihouettes
2022's

Please Note: 2Crafty is now available to retail customers via their new website
www.2crafty.com.au, so if you don't have a local stockist you can now buy direct.
Open to most countries if shipping allows.

The phrase "Spring is here" was treated with two colors of acrylic paint & some of the same colors of spray. Behind the pictures I have cut up the pretty "Jenna frame" which is by far one of my favorite 2Crafty frames Vanessa ever designed that one was coated in two layers of white gesso and the I have added one layer of white embossing powder. 

The word may & 2022 where treated the same way only I have used two layers of the white embossing powder. The beautiful new feathers & leafy Sihouettes where firstly treated with white gesso and the I added two layers of black embossing powder and in theend I added some white matte wax to soften it a little.

“A Pop of Colour” Layout By Chrissy Tingey

Hi everyone, today I have this project to share with you, I chose to 

use a royalty free image with this layout, the colours were stunning and bright, just 

perfect for the layout and chipboard I had in mind.

2Crafty Chipboard Used?....

Flower Petals

Mini Word Set 1

Heart Frame with flowers

I started off by painting the gorgeous "Frame Heart with Flowers” 

pure white to coordinate with some of my fussy cut embellishments, 

it has some very cute little flowers attached to it, I cut 

these off and repositioned them so they 

are seen poking out from my fussy cut flowers

I  then painted those fabulous large “Flower Petals” chipboard in a vibrant

 red colour - matching the colour of the flowers in my photo. 

I Love the “Mini Word Set” sometimes I just want to add a tiny title, these are 

perfect for doing just that - this is also painted in a coordinating colour. 

I have enjoyed adding a splash of colour by painting my chipboard in 

that bright red to coordinate with my photo, it sure makes a statement!!!!! 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope I have inspired you to add some bright colours

to your chipboard, I'll be back next month with two 

more projects.

"Christmas Cuties"

Hi guys!

Christmas is almost here! It is by far my favorite time of the year!

So for starters I want to show you this Christmas layout I made of my two cuties :) 

I used the color scheme of red, white and gold. Mostly I used color bloom spray for the

 red and gold and acrylic for the white.

Aren't the Christmas bulbs just beautiful? It is a big chipboard piece that I cut to pieces so I could place them exactly where I wanted them. The gold bow is also a part of that chipboard piece and I also have two swirls that where left overs from the same big chipboard piece that I will use on another layout.

The bulbs,  I embossed with white, red and sparkle embossing powder to really make them shine.

In the background you can see both white and gold. I splattered gold and white and also used

 heavy white gesso to make sort of a snow effect behind the embellishments.

"The Magic of You"

For my second layout I wanted to make something a little more boyish :) 

A magic layout for a magic boy.

At first this layout was all black and white stars but when it was almost finished and I

 looked at it I thought it lacked that "umpf" so I simply cut it in half and mounted it 

on a white cardstock. I loved how it came out! The contrast is awesome. Some 

black stars on the "other side" to tie the layout together.

All the chipboard is painted with white acrylic and that is also what I used on the
 background for splatters and dabbing.
