'Treasure' Mixed Media Layout & Video with Kripa Koushik

Hello friends,

My first project share for this month is a scrapbook layout, scroll down for a Video tutorial.

 There are so many beautiful 2crafty chipboard pieces in the recent release, I was so tempted to use a handful to make this layout. Inspired by the autumn moodboards popping up in my instafeed this month, I chose to make a layout using Autumn leaves & Ivy clusters 2crafty chipboard pieces.

I love using photographs of my family & friends in my layouts and this page is no exception. The colour palette is centred around the colours in the photograph. Instead of using lace, I chose the Mandala No.2 chipboard in both 4 & 6 inches. I love how the background can be seen through the delicate chipboard. To ground the layers & cut through the pattern, Ive used a solid chipboard Formal Flourish in both the top & bottom clusters.

Here is a video tutorial of the layout.

Thank you for visiting today. 

I hope you enjoyed the video tutorial.

Creative hugs,

Kripa

More Inspiration from Elisa Ablett

'Love that Smile' 

Hi Crafters,

Thanks for stopping by the Blog today.

Elisa here from the design team with my latest inspiration for you; 

a colourful boho style mixed media layout featuring some lovely pieces 

of 2Crafty Chipboard and a half mandala background design featuring 

the new Nuvo Shimmer Powders and Finnabair Metallic Wax.

2Crafty Products used:

Amelia Flower Stem - Large

Polaroid Frames

Love that Smile Title

Firstly, for my title I inked the chipboard in a metallic matching ink 

and then roughly coloured over the top with a darker purple paint marker, 

it matches perfectly with the script/handwriting of the title.

Next, I coloured the Polaroid frame in with a black glitter marker to 

create a solid base for my photo cluster and to make the 

colours pop a little more on my next piece of chippie.

For next piece of chipboard 'Amelia Flower Stem', I decided to alter by
first painting it black, then while still wet dipping it in the liquid made
by adding water to my Nuvo shimmer powders. I used the same shimmer powders
on my background as well to add colour and dimension to my mandala.

You can see that shimmer and shine happening on the chippie!

Add a bit of metallic wax by smoothing over the black modelling paste and the black chipboard

with a make up sponge or a dauber. Last details ! add some hand cut butterflies from acetate and paper to add to the boho look of your layout. You could also add feathers or wire or beads as well.

That's it from me today! 

I hope you been inspired to try your very own Boho style layout complete with awesome Chipboard!

Hugs xx
