Destination Go - with Emma

Hi friends, Emma here for my first share of 2020!

Today I used up some left over products in my stash and incorporated awesome
Chipboard to my layers.

"Destination Go"

Here is the amazing 2Crafty chippy I used.....

Flower Set 1
Checkerboard Clumps
Mini Travel Word Set 1

I really wanted to make the checker pattern extend out from the photo so I chose
to use the checker plate chippy.

For the finish on this, I painted in black gesso first and then went over in a green
 rust effect paste. Once dry I then added a ranger emboss powder to make it have
contrast from all the green but also shine from the paper elements.

The flowers I continued with the same process as the checks.
I really loved the effect it gave. 

My title words I kept simple but I feel are still striking in a simple black gesso
 with clear emboss over the top. 

That’s it! Chipboard that certainly pops and compliments the
layers of papers and elements of my layout. 

I hope it has inspired in a small way and I look forward to sharing agin with you soon.

April Projects & Video Tutorial with Kripa

Hello friends,

Today, I have two scrapbook layouts and a video tutorial to share with you all.

‘Journey’

A few days ago, I found a box full of travel photographs and decided to make layouts of at
least a few of them. Instantly, I decided to use the World Globe chipboard piece as the main embellishment. Once, the papers and basic composition were finalized, I chose
 Groovy flowers and the word journey from Mini Travel Word Set 1 to add along.

 I almost always paint my chipboard pieces and started off by applying a layer of white gesso
on all pieces. The groovy flowers and world globe got a layer of peach paint. After the first
layer dried, I applied white paint on the World globe to tone down the colour and then
stamped using green ink. You can see the exact process in the video tutorial below.

I wanted the title to stand out glossy as opposed to the matt layers of paper,
so it was embossed with white embossing powder.

 

Here is the video of how the page came together.

I hope you enjoy watching.

'Day at the Beach'

This a layout is all about a day at the beach. The photograph has been altered to
sepia tones to keep with the shades of teal, blue and brown in the layout. 

As is my usual style, I applied a layer of white gesso on all the chipboard pieces
 – Fishing Net Bits, title – A day at the beach and a few ATC Tiny stars. The first two
 pieces were painted on with a few blue shades of twinkling H2Os. I was after
a distressed look, so only applied paint in a few places.

The stars on the other hands were painted on with Vivid Ultra Metallics True Silver. The
 stars are tucked under layers of fussy cut elements - can you spot one behind the pirate ship?

November Inspiration and Small TUTORIAL by Marianne Johansson

"CAPTURED MOMENTS"

Today I have two layouts to show you, the first one with a small tutorial.

The photo this time, is from my town, Hamar in Norway and a glass building ,
 built to cover the remains of a church from the Middle Ages.

A fantastic building and covered with lots of trees makes it a special & beautiful place.

I used some of the chippies as "stencils" on this,
both the moroccan panel and the leafy twig branches.

First I colored the leafy twig branches with a mix of gel medium and mica powder.

Here you see the branches ready covered with the mix

Next I used the negative part of the above chippie and a sponge, "dabbing" the pattern

 on my paper with the same mix of gel medium and mica powder.

Here you see the result, I was really pleased how it turned out.

My background is gessoed so the result of the "dabbing" gets a slightly different look.

I added some parts of the Moroccan panel as you can see in the photo below.

I used the same technique with the stencil as above, using the chippie as a stencil.

 Only this time I used ink as my color medium.

And here you see my final layout ready.

A dreamy layout with colors and elements of fall.

I had some sunflowers in my stash and they were perfect for my layout this time

I also added some of the Mini Branches in a cluster together with the sunflowers.

The title, Captured Moments is colored with ink in two different colors, black and orange.

"LIVE LAUGH LOVE"

The second layout I have made for my November inspiration is a layout with a photo

 of my girls, from our vacation in London in June this year.

This time I chose to keep the chippies rather natural, only with a dash of ink
in random places. I wanted the chippies to "glide" into the layout together
with the photo and pattern paper.

This title matched my daughters mood on this trip - they really had an awesome time

I cut the circles into pieces and used them on different places on the layout.

 Absolutely love the Hessian Patch panels, they can be used in so many different ways!
