"Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador Call 2023/2024" My Gorgeous Sunflower layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!!

 Goodmorning lovely friends, 

Today show you some inspiration on my blog. For this post I made another layout this time with my first paper love "Graphic 45" papers. I used the pretty French Country & Olde Curiosity Shoppe collections with all amazing 2Crafty chipboard pieces. I used a picture of our beautiful Abbey amoung some pretty flowers made last year. 

My Gorgeous Sunflower: 

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Fine Word Set 3
6" Clock Faces
Moroccan Bits
Line Words - Summer
ATC Word Banner Set 1
Lattice Leaves

Firstly I added two layers of gesso on al my chipboard pieces then on the clockfaces & the line word "sun" I used some rustic white sand paint which has a gruncy texture. Then I used several acrylic paints and randomly added that on the same pieces. On the background I used several layers of beautiful papers, a stencil and some rub-ons I also distressed the edges what I love to do. 

The leaves are first painted with green acrylic paint and when that was all dry I added the same rustic cream/white sand paint and dabbed it on different spots on the leaves. The ATC banner was only treated with some white matte wax. The Moroccan bits are dabbed with some black acrylic paint & gesso. I have used a metal key and keyhole from Graphic 45 on my flower clusters. 

With this layout I will also try out for the wonderful "Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador Call 2023/2024" I have tried many times before but I have not been succesful hopefully I now have a opportunity to be on their amazing design team. It would be a dream come true for me.....

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

Stay happy & creative much

"Handsome You Canvas ***March Color Challenge at Lindy's***!

Hi my sweet fiends, 

I was so happy with the March 2023 color challenge at Lindy's that I had to participate. I love to make gruncy projects with gears but it's way out of my comfort zone as I am normally totally into sweet pink and soft toned papers & embellishments like flowers and such. I totally went overboard with the gears and I used a then and now picture of our 18 year old son Kevin. And I used some older prima marketing flowers that I sprayed in the colors for this month. 

Handsome You: 

When the new Sharon Ziv mould was introduced I so wanted to have it and I have to tell you it's amazing. The gears are threated with two layers of gesso and some rust paste and some of the beautiful Lindy's Spray's. The same three butterflies are by Renea Bouquet and the other two by Prima Marketing. 

The words handsome & you are sprayed with the Tibetan Poppy Teal Shimmer Spray and 

 Luscious Lime Flat Spray I really love the effect that the sprays give to the chippies and moulds. I treated the window with some crackle paste and later sprayed it with the two sprays above. 

I also used a finnabair stencil on the background and I made myself a new watermark I love how it turned out like my canvas. This was such a fun project to make hope you like it too....

Lindy's Spray's used: 
Luscious Lime Flat Spray
Tibetan Poppy Teal Shimmer Spray
Cowabunga Copper Shimmer Spray
Sidewalk Chalk Flat Spray

Look at this amazing mood board in my birthday month....

Simple Moments for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!!

  Goodmorning sweet friends, 

Today I show you some inspiration on my blog. For this post I made another layout with some pretty prima marketing papers & amazing 2Crafty chipboard pieces. For this layout I used another picture of my husband and our daughter just like on my last layout I showed you here. I really love to decorate my pictures with the amazing phrases like I did here.

Simple Moments:  

Corner Annalise

Simple Moments make Great Memories 

Mini Word Set 2

Frame Chained Circles 

12x12 Clock Face Frames

All the chipboard pieces are firstly treated with a layer of white gesso. The swirls I decorated with some acrylic matt paint, some spray & wax. The chaine circle I painted with three different paints and black gesso as I did with the clock face. 

The beautiful phrase I treated with two layers of white embossing powder and for the word "together" I also used some embossing powder. For that last one I thought it was to shiny on my layout so I also added some white wax & gesso on that one.

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

Stay happy & creative much

"Treasure That Smile" mixed media panel ***February Color Challenge at Lindy's*** & ***Prima Marketing DT Call***!!!

  Hi my sweet fiends, 

I was so excited about the the new color challenge at Lindy's that I had to participate a second time but now I made it all more shabby chic. I decorated a lp but in a smaller size for this project I used a baby picture of our sweet Abbey and a bunch of moulds which I colored with white gesso & lindy's sprays and I also used some pretty prima marketing flowers. 

Treasure That Smile: 

I decorated the panel with some tissue paper, two stencils, crackle & paper texture paste, Then I added some amazing moulds and of course chipboard by 2Crafty, Prima flowers and some artstones and beads.

I really love playing with my Lindy's stash a lot I use them on almost every project I make. I have a bunch of favorites of course like I think everyone has. 

This is the color challenge image:
