Hi there paper friends, thanks for calling by.
Today I wanted to share this layout which is currently up on the
2Crafty blog & is part of my May DT work.
I have taken inspiration from the current May challenge over at
Berry71Bleu Challenge Blog.
This month is all about Mothers. Here is their moodboard.

I thought I would do a vintage layout using this photo of my Mother & myself.
Gee I must be getting old when my baby photo is considered "vintage" !!
2Crafty Chipboard Used
For my title I have used this little mini word, "family". 2Crafty make lots of
different ones. They are perfect when you just need little words.
Here I have layered it on top of their "Sybills Frame".
After first applying a coat of gesso to all my chippie pieces, I then coloured
the "Mini Family Word" with a couple of coats of Distress Stain, followed by
some "Crackle Accents". I like the way the Crackle Accents looks on the chippie word.
All the "Leafy Rounds" & the "LeaftySchrub Set #2" where all painted with a coat of
metallic acrylic paint, followed by a coat of Shimmerz Inklingz. I do love the effect it gives.
I had also blobbed on some texture paste on some of this foliage
to create some nice texture before I commenced painting.
I cut the "Leafy Rounds" into pieces and poked them in amongst my flowers.
I have to admit that the "Leafy Shrub Set" is one of my favourite chippie
pieces, just the perfect thing to add in amongst your flowers.
