Three Spring Tags for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** & playing at ***Tiets' Creatieve Wereld*** on Facebook!!!

 Hi lovely creative peeps, 

Hope you are having a warm & sunny day here in my part of the world spring is not breaking through yet! So for this post I made a couple of happy spring feeling tags sometimes it's very therapeutic to just make tags and fussy cut a little in front of the tv. My first tag is with a picture of my husband and I the 20th of this month we had our 12 year wedding anniversary.

Our Forever Jouney:

Spring Flower Bunches
ATC Word Banner Set 2

For this tag I altered the chipboard pieces in a very simple way I just added some spray paint on the Foliage Set 6 & the Spring Flower Bunches and the first one was altered with a thin later of embossing powder and some crystal drops. 

The ATC banner was just altered with some white gesso and some wax. On the word arrow I added three layers of white embossing powder to create a thick layer. 

My second tag was made for a tag challenge {it was to add some bees} I had so much fun making these tags that I just can't stop hihi.

I altered my pieces the same way as the first tag above only for the bees I used some posca pens in black & yellow but also some orange watercolour paint and to finish them of I added a piece of paper behind them 

For the leaves and frame I also used some spray paint and waxes. The big frame & word bee are altered with three layers of embossing powder to add a little dimension. 

My third tag is my last for this post and was made with the same collection as the first two that collection make my heart very happy & sunny oh how I long for spring & summer.

Love You Long Time layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!!

 Goodmorning lovely friends, 

Today I show you some inspiration on my blog. For this post I made another layout this time I have used some beautiful pastel tones more my style. Again I have used a baby picture of our Abbey two weeks after she was born relaxing in a deep sleep. This layout was created with the "Little One" collection by Graphic 45 and a whole bunch of beautiful 2Crafty Chipboard pieces as shown below. 

Love You Long Time: 

2Crafty Chipboards used: 
Your First Breath Title
Groovy Flowers 
Ava's Butterflies
6x4 Phrase Set 4
Mini Title Stick Set 3
Baby Girl Title
2019's 
Baby Pram Set
Mini Buttons 
Dana's Ornate Rectangle Frame -NEW-

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.

All the chipboard pieces are treated with two layers of white gesso. For both word sticks I only added some darker ink around the edges and then added some clear embossing powder I also did that with the rattle, babysock and safety pin. The Ava's Butterflies I sprayed with some gold yellow-ish spray I did that several times until I had the right color.

Both phrases are firstly sprayed and then I added two layers of green embossing powder on "Your First Breath" & "Girl" so that they would have a two toned color. The Dana's Ornate Rectangle Frame was painted with several matte pink colors then to soften it up I used some matte white wax and in the end I added some darker ink around the edges. The buttons, groofy flowers and 2019 I treated with two layers pink embossing powders and for the centers of the flowers I used screwheads and bended the leaves upwards. 

Sure hope you like my layouts as much as I love making them. 

Stay happy & creative much

Isn't She Lovely layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** & ***Maja Design***!

 Hello my lovely friends, 
Welcome to my blog, I made a very colorful layout to show you today and I have used all these gorgeous chippies you see below. This layout was build with lots of layers and I have used two Maja Design collections to do so. 

Isn't She Lovely: 

 2Crafty Chipboards used: 
Isn't She Lovely 
Clock Face Frames
Corner Fine Florals
Fine Word Set - Months
Circle Word Tag Set 1
Amelia Frames

The beautiful fine corner florals is treated with white gesso & embossing powder, I wanted it to pop of my page. The clock face I firstly applied gesso on and then some rust paste & and aqua acrylic paints an waxes. On the word "march" I sprayed with some purple lindy's and then I applied some matte wax. 

As I said before I used two different Maja Design collections "Tropical Garden" & "Denim & Girls" this was such a fun color combination to create something with. I used a border punch for my purple sheet and layered the aqua & pink sheets on top of the purple one. 

I really love those word disks this one in particular I painted with different pink acrylic paints. I really love making flower clusters on my pages and use as much chipboard pieces as I can. To finish my layout I added some white spray & beautiful pearls. The photo was taken on my husbands & mine bithday on March 6th Abbey showing of her new dress. 

Thank you so much for your visit I hope you like my work & if you would like to know something please let me know. 

Have a great day!
