Just Love our Story layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!!

 Goodmorning lovely friends, 

Today is my turn to show you some inspiration on my blog. For this occasion I made a layout with some beautiful 2crafty chippies and the pretty "P.S. I love you papers" by Graphic 45. For this layout I used a wedding picture of ours back in 2012 in front of city hall. 

And you know what's amazing you can order directly from the 2Crafty website here so you can also play with their amazing chipboard pieces. 

Just Love our Story: 

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
12 x 12 Fine Floral Love Frame
Loopy Heart Swirl
Leafy Shrub Set 3
Just Love our Story Title

Most chipboard pieces are layered with black gesso except for the "Leafy Shrub Set 3" that one is treated with white gesso. On that last one I added different colors of green matte acrylic paints to fit the colors of the papers. After that I added some white matte wax and splashes of darker wax. 

After I added the black gesso on the frame I also added some of the papers from the collection behind it I love how that truned out. Then I added some white matte & shiny wax. I think how you alter the chipboard pieces on your work makes them pop extra and sometimes simple treatment makes it perfect for your layout.   

Thank you so much for visiting my blog I sure hope you like my work as much as I love making them. 
Stay happy & creative

Brothers make the best Friends layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!!

 Hello fellow creative souls, 
I am so excited that you are here with us today as I bring you some inspiration with pictures from our summer vacation trip to Greece where we had a lovely time. For my base I used a vinyl record the size about 11,5 inches that I then decorated with beautiful 2Crafty chipboard pieces. 

Brothers make the best Friends:

Brothers are the Best Friends

The yellow frame on the top was painted with acrylic paint and after that I sprayed some golden spray over it. The wonderful phrase was treated with the same yellow paint as the frame but then I added three different golden sprays on it. The little clockface was painted with black gesso and some golden coloured sprays and I finished it off with some glossy accents.

The big clockface was first treated with a layer of black gesso then I added two different waxes on it to make it shine a little bit and give it a little color, it's a brushing technique which is so settisfying to do. On the rest of the chipboard pieces I added two layers of white gesso before I altered them further. The green chipboard pieces are treated with some green spray & then I blow dried it while spraying them love that effect. On the Artdeco frame I did the brush technique with some white gesso and in the end some vintage golden 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!

Paradise Found layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!

Hello my lovely friends,
It's a lovely day to visit my blog, for today I have another layout to share with you. Since I am in the summer mood I made a layout with a picture of my sweet cousin Jaime in some tropical place. On this layout I did a lot of mixed media like using crackle paste, plaster paste, stenciling & spraying I also did that on my beautiful 2Crafty chipboard. 

 Paradise Found:

  2Crafty Chipboard used:

Paradise Found
Circle Word Tag Set 1
Intricate Seahorses
Seashells Set 2
Palm Leaves Set
Leafy Shrub Set 3

First I painted all the chipboard pieces with white gesso, then I used some rust paste on the Leafy Shrub Set 3 which I then painted with two different shades of acrylic paint & waxes. The seahorse was treated with some starburst spray and some crackle paste {the translucent kind}. On the "Paradise Found" phrase I added two different embossing powder because I didn't had the color I wanted.

Then I also treated it with same crackle paste as the seahorse after that I added some wax on the word found to make it a different color the word "forever" was placed on the phrase that one was painted with rust paste. In the end I added some spray and art stones. The papers I have used are by ScrapAndMe the Sunflower collection.

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!

Loving these moments with you first Layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***

 Hello there lovely friends. 

It's so nice that you are here for my first post as a DT member for 2Crafty. 

For this layout I used several gorgeous chippies which I all used white gesso on. 

The word "shine" I just left white, and the frame had some leafy protrusions on it that I cut off and tucked in my flower clusters {and left them white also}.

Loving these moments with you:

Frame Madeline's Flourish
6"Fine Heart Leaf Frame 
Mini Flourish Bits
 Fine Word Set 2

I used two frames on this layout {I have a weakness for them} The 6"Fine Heart Leaf Frame I painted in two colors to match my papers then I added a piece of paper behind it so I could add the phrase. 

The frame round my picture was treated with waxes {ochre & rusty brown}

On the pieces that I painted green I also added some shimmer spray to make it more blend into my layout. I used a picture of our darling daughter Abbey last fall you will see her a lot on my layouts. For this layout I used Maja Design papers & beautiful flowers.

As a finishing touch I added some art stones & gesso to my flowers. And on my chippies some white pearl wax. Thank you so much for your visit and I hope to see you next time.

Much love and happy crafting...
