Tropical Sunset Layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** + Playing along with challenge 143 ~Butterflies~ at Hobby Vision!!!

  Hi lovely creative peeps, 
I hope this post will find you well and that you are enjoying your day! Well I always enjoy my day while creating for 2Crafty Chipboard since I think it's unimaginable not to use their chippies on my work. For today I have layout to share with you all and again I used a picture of my husband & me like the last project. But this picture is from my summer vacation last month both enjoying the beautiful sunset. 

Tropical Sunset:

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Fishing Net Bits
Fern Leaf Set
2024's
Palm Leaves Set
Mini Title Stick Set 4 
Tropical Sunset Title

I left most of the chipboard pieces in their raw state because that looked better with the papers I used here. I only added some waxes a white one and a rusty brown one. The fishing net bits are treated with some rust paste after I gessod them with white gesso in the end I added some white wax.

The "tropical sunset" phrase I had in my collection for a long time and I finally got to use it, it was perfect for tis picture. The word sunset was treated with two layers of white embossing powders and on the tropical word I added some rusty brown wax. 

With this layout I will be entering the challenge at the  Hobby Vision blog ~143~Vlinders and maybe many of you know I love vlinders on this layout I used 5 of them they are rub-ons that I added on cardstock and then I cut them out to place on my layout. 

Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to take out your lovely 2Crafty Chippies and create and have fun while doing so. Have a blessed & sunny weekend!

I hope this post will find you well and that you are enjoying your day! I know I will on this beautiful summer day {on my vacation in Greece} For today I have another mixed media panel to share with you all and this time I used a picture of Jeroen and me on a wedding of his co-worker last may.

I finally found the time to use that amazing 10" Decorative Panel Wire Circle I had that one in my stash for a while now. Firstly I altered it with white gesso and then some rust paste {yellow & brown} after that I used two matte waxes to coördinate with the papers I have used here. On the Photo Adornment Larindas Flourish I used a technique that I love very much I have used a crackle paste on it with some magical powder & some true snow. 

 The words that I used on my work are just gessod with white gesso and then I added two layers of white embossing powder. The frames are altered with only a little wax in two colors. The Industrial Spring Set was altered with some white gesso and some matte wax in just one color & on the palm leaves I used two colors of matte wax.

Good Times Mixed Media Panel for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!!

 Hi lovely Friends, 
On this grizzled day in my part of the world I bring you some summer vibes,
 because I for sure need it. For today's post I made a mixed media panel with three pictures of our Abbey on the beach in Greece last summer. I was planning on posting this panel for a challenge but then I thought I have used a bunch of beautiful 2Crafty Chippies that I could better post it as one of DT projects here. Enjoy my post....

Good Times:

Line Words - Good Times

As you probably know by now I always gesso my chippies first most of the time I do two layers. I treated my two text chipboard pieces & the seahorses with two colors of embossing powder I jus really love that effect.

This wooden panel is 4 by 12 inch I just love to work with that size, a while back I saw a wonderful piece of art on pinterest with a whole bunch of frames {sadly I don't know the maker} After I saw that gorgeous piece I really wanted to make something like that myself. 

The rest of the chipboard pieces are decorated with embossing powders. I only left the beautiful seashells raw I only added some shimmer spray and a touch of white wax 

 Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to take out your lovely 2Crafty Chippies and create and have fun while doing so. Have a blessed & sunny week!

Altered Box for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!!

 Well hello there crafty friends, 
I am very delighted you are her with me, for today I'd like to share a altered box that I created for my colleague who is leaving us to enjoy her well deserved pension. Although it's with a raw edge since she heard that her cancer is back since the beginning of march {throughout her bones this time} but that doesn't keep her from being a very positive lady and I really admire her for that and so much more. This box holds cards from her colleagues who worked with her a lot longer then me, since I started working there september 2023. But that doesn't mean I didn't make her a card,  I of course did and a nice box to hold them in, in her favorite color yellow. Enjoy this post.....

I painted the oversized flower stem set with some spray paint and a pencil in defferent colors. But fistly I cut them up and only used pieces of them. For the skeleton leaves I used the same technique. Undertneath the big green piece of paper there is a picture of "Riek" but I wasn't sure if she wanted me to post it online so I didn't. 

The words & phrases are threated with two layers of white gesso after that I added some white shiny embossing powder {three layers} then I added some stained wood wax on all of tehm some a little more then the other. The beeyoutiful set was only altered with white gesso and tucked in flower clusters.

Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to take out your lovely 2Crafty Chippies and create and have fun while doing so. Have a blessed & sunny week!  

2 Tags for the 7 tags of Spring challenge at ***Tiets' Creatieve Wereld*** on Facebook!!!

 Hi lovely friends, 
Today I am posting two tags that I made for a challenge at a Dutch Facebook group called:
 Tiets Creatieve Wereld 
I thought is was a very fun challenge we had to make seven tags all created in a theme: 

Day 1} Butterflies 
Day 2} Flowers 
Day 3} Bee's
Day 4} "Hidden Message"
Day 5} Colour Pallette 
  Day 6} Spring Animals 
Day 7} use the word "Spring" on your tag 

In today's post I will show you day 4 & 7 the tags 3, 5 & 6 are already on my blog since they where also made for my DT work at 2Crafty Chipboard and 1 & 2 are for another DT enjoy my post....

Tag 4: 

Gentle as a Butterfly your Kindness Speaks to me: 

This is my "Hidden Message" tag for this tag I used the pretty "In The Moment" collection by Prima Marketing I am very excited to see Prima is making more collections without the golden & silver foil since I don't like that at all. Also the flowers are made to fit the colors of the papers but they are just the colors not the patterns I am also very happy with that....

I used two tags in my tag with two messages the first one is "Loving This Day" & "Gentle as a Butterfly your Kindness Speaks to me" these messages I used because I had my colleague in mind who is sick {her cancer is back} while making this tag. 

Tag 7

This is my tag use the word "Lente" of  "Spring" on your tag I of course used the last one.

Wildy Dreaming of Spring: 

 For this tag I used the pretty "Aquarelle Dreams" collection by Prima Marketing this collection makes my heart very happy since it's made with two of my favorite colors purple & aqua for this tag I also used a picture of our Abbey Jane, a mould by Finnabair {mirror frames} and the amazing Texture Stamp Set designed by Gabrielle Pollacco for 49 and Market back in 2016.

Don't you just love those water drops!! I am so much in love with them I use it very often but mostly on my layouts this is the first time I used it on a tag. 

Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to be creative in some way and if I did that please have fun while doing so. Have a blessed & sunny week!
