'LOVE'

 Tiny Canvas

Hello 2Crafty friends!

Today I'm sharing a tiny canvas I created for a friend of mine as a present.

Before we get started though......

My canvas only measures 8x7 cm and I really love how small and cute it looks.

Even though it is so small I managed to use 7 chipboard pieces and 2 metal pieces 

 to create a dimensional cluster like a pyramid!

This is how it looked before I altered the chipboards and paint it all.

In order to alter the chipboard pieces I used H2Os watercolors and silks by ColourArte

 and black embossing powder by Lindy's Stamp Gang.

First I created a mixed media background and then I started gluing all the 

embellishments with 3D Gloss Gel.

I really love how this  mixed media pyramid looks!

Here are some closeups with details...

I like making pages with quotes I love in my black journal.

For this one I used some small butterflies of the Butterflies set to represent
 the crowd and one big Marianne's Butterfly to be main character of the quote.

I also used some pieces of the Circle Lace Panel - I think it matches so
 beautifully with the butterflies.

First I glued all the chipboard pieces on the page and then I painted them with
 black and white Gesso to create a light and dark shading all over the page...

For the small butterflies I used ColourArte sprays to color them and Lindy's Stamp Gang embossing powders with stamps on them and also on the background to embody them on it.

For the big butterfly I used irridescent silks to color it. They really make the perfect paint for black surface. I also used a White UniBall pen to make some doodling on it and also write the quote.

Winter Inspiration By Athanasia

'Frozen in Time'

Hello 2Crafty friends!

Winter is here in Greece, so as cold wind, cozy mood and warm sweaters.

I think my layout today shows this wintery feeling...

This photo is by Finnabair's Ephemera and I really love how old and 

timeworn it looks. I used the Tiny Vivian's frame , the set of three 

Spiral Snowflakes and a Pen Nib.

 I really love how they look on my composition.

In order to alter the spiral snowflakes I used White Gesso and white Glitter.

First I applied the gesso with a sponge and then I spread the glitter.

The gesso works just like glue, so the snowflakes where ready to use in no time!

I wanted the Tiny Vivian's frame to be black, so I painted it with

 black silk by ColourArte with a paintbrush.

For the pen nib (below) I used 'Vintage Photo' distress ink with the applicator and a little bit

 of white gesso in some spots. I stacked it on the page with staples.

"Christmas Tree Decorations"

With only a few days left until Christmas I decided to make some more

 decorations for my Christmas tree.

Here is how I made them. Very easy and quick!

You will only need White Gesso (you can also use any kind of glue like 
Gel Medium or craft glue), glitter and of course 2Crafty Chipboard :)

First you have to cover the chipboard with gesso. 

Before it drys, spread a generous amount of glitter.

Gesso will work as a glue.

Use the tweezers to remove the chipboard from the glitter and give it a good shake to remove the excess. Repeat the process if you have left some spots without glitter.

Tie some thread and your decorations are ready to hang on the tree.
