Capture the Moment - Karan Gerber

Hello friends and welcome to the 2 Crafty Blog today, 

Its Karan Gerber to host the 2 Crafty blog and I have a layout to share with you.

I love using the leafy shrubs and vines and I have used two different ones on this project.

I used a few chipboard pieces on this project and happy with the way it turned out. 

The above photo is how it looks at a glance, the details are amazing.

The leafy shrub was embossed with lime green embossing powder then I dabbed a bit of Hazlenut Metalique Paint on them 

The title was done the same way, heat embossed with lime green baked embossing powder and dabbed with Hazlenut metal paint. The leafy vine I used and tangled in between the flowers in the upper corner. 

Thank you for dropping by today, I hope you have enjoyed my project today.

October Inspiration by Debbie Burns

Hi everyone, Debbie here with you today to share my October projects. 

"Beauty"

I love this time of the year.  Usually the temps are on the cool side and the leaves are changing colors,  but so far we've had an unseasonably warm Autumn.  Thoughts of Autumn past spun around in my head and lead to me create this layout featuring a picture of my grandmother.  I was also inspired by the October Challenge at Words &  Paintery.  I added several colors of distress stain to my background paper along with some stamping, micro beads and glass glitter.

I love the detailed Marianne's Butterfly.  I embossed it with some Nutmeg 

embossing powder and added paprika, twig  and gold micro beads.

Lots of warms Autumn colors.  The Corner Vine Leaves embossed with Sage embossing powder,

  the Large Leafy Vine embossed dark brown and beneath them I used the Corner Lorena, embossed with an antique teal powder.  

Tucked under my photo I used the Large Leafy Vine, Corner Vine Leaves and
Mini Flourish Bits, and my title is from the Mini Word Set 1.

"Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful"

Soft colors adorn this layout from the background paper with added distress stains,
stamping and paint splatters, with detailed chipboard that encircle the photo along
with flowers edged in gold glitter.

The Celebration Swirls and 6" Circle Dot Frame were embossed teal.  The Decorative Disc Set 1

 and Foliage Set 3 embossed gold.  Gold microbeads were added to the Celebrations Swirls.

Here you can see more of the Foliage Set 3 and Celebration Swirls.

In keeping with the color scheme, I embossed the title an antique teal.

Layouts by Sandra Bernard

''Precious''

A page under the theme of the romanticism for today. I had also made one video, 

but I had some problems with my computer, thus I am not able to present it to

 you today,  soon I hope. I am sincerely sorry.

2crafty chipboards used:

Corner's Helena's 

Frames tiny Victorian

Precious- loopy font as title

For that layout, I used some paint on my background to add a brown touch. 

I painted my "corner's Helena's" also in brown to highlight them.

I also painted my three  "Tiny Victorian Frames" in white to keep the romantic accent.

I added some flowers, sisal and other textures on my layout.

The title had been painted in brown, but I change my mind and add some white paint on it.

''Adorable''

My second layout is also romantic with my other daughter as the subject.

2crafty chipboards used:

Large leafy vine

Floral spray

Adorable- script font as title

I played with yellow ink on my background. I added some flowers with a stencil 

and modeling paste and I used an other stencil with distress black to

 add some others flowers. 

I painted my "large leafy vine" and my "floral spray" in white 

and I stressed outlines with some black powders. 

I did the same treatement for the "title" to keep the continuity.

I hope you like it...

See you next month.
