My 2Crafty Chipboard June DT RevealPart Two"Hello"

Hello there lovelies, thanks for stopping by.

Today I have another layout featuring my gorgeous grandaughter that I created for 

2Crafty Chipboard 

I did a little mixed media on my background using some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays

in "Alpine Ice Rose" & Chateau Rose" sprays & Magicals in "Cuckoo Clock Cardinal".

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

Hello - title

Frames - Tiny Henri's

Brick Panel

In this pic you can see this fab "Hello" title which was perfect for my layout.

I adore this font. All I did to this piece was to simply paint it in black acrylic paint.

Too easy !

The next 2Crafty piece I use is this adorable little frame which was ideal for what I 

needed to add my grandaughters name, age & date to my layout. While practical, it is

 also a sweet little embellishment at the same time. I also painted it in black acrylic paint too.

In these two pics you can see I have cut a "Brick Panel" into a few pieces. First up

I coated it in white gesso before brushing on a little colour with a Lindy's Stamp Gang

"Magical" shaker in "Cuckoo Clock Cardinal. I wanted the colour to be a bit random.

Some lovely 49 and Market flowers.

A little stamping & some Prills, & viola, all finished.

 If you like my layout I would LOVE you to leave me a comment.

Until next time.

My 2Crafty Chipboard June DT RevealPart One"Let the Adventure Begin"

Hi there lovelies, thanks for stopping by.

Today I have a layout to share with you that I made for

2Crafty Chipboard using some of their lovely pieces.

 2Crafty Products Used...

Corner Ivy

Let The Adventure Begin title

Leafy Rounds

Leafy Shrub Set #2

Butterflies

For this chippie title I simply coated it in gesso followed by 

dabbing on very lightly with a Prima "Blue Jay" ink.

Now for all the other chippie pieces I have used I treated them all in the same way.

Step 1... I coated them all in gesso.

Step #2...I then gave them a heavy coat of "Viva Crystal Gel"(gives a sort of crackled effect).

Step #3...I sprayed them all with a mist.

Here you can see the "Leafy Round" chippie piece underneath the flower cluster.

I have actually cut the "Corner Ivy" chippie piece & I have placed a piece across the op of the

page & the other pieces I have positioned at the left side of my photos.

A few chippie "Butterflies" scattered around the layout

& I am all done. Hope you like it.

I would love to hear your comments about this layout.

Until next time.

More of My June DT Reveal for 49 and Market"Gorgeous"

Hi there again lovelies, thanks for stopping by. Today I have another layout to share with you

 that I created using our wonderful "Sand and Sea" paper collection from 49 and Market. 

For this layout I have used two pieces, both the A & B sides of the "Beach This Way" paper.

 I just loved both sides of this paper. In order to get the image in the bottom right corner

 I just turned it & trimmed it off, & hey, viola!

 In both these pics you can see I have stamped some beautiful feathers using their great

 "Feather Stamp Set" & coloured them up to match my layout with some Lindys Sprays

 before fussy cutting them out. This stamp set is turning out to be one of my favourite go to items.

I have also used some beautiful pieces of my favourite 2Crafty Chipboard too.

Here you can see I have added some wonderful mesh to my layout to add 

to the whole sea theme.

 Underneath my photo I used some of the 49 and Market cream coloured "Burlap Trim" 

which I seriously frayed to add extra texture. Really pleased how this looks. Also lots of

 gorgeous 49 and Market flowers too, including  "Floral Mixology", "Garden Blooms" 

as well as some "Vintage Shades".

 Here you can see I have done some stencilling on my background & added some coloured spray before doing some background stamping with another great 49 and Market stamp. 

This one is called "Script Squared" .

A sprinkling of Prills & hey presto, all finished. I do hope I have inspired you in some small way.

Thats it for today. Until next time.

 

My June DT Reveal for 49 and Market"Just Adorable"

Hi there lovelies, thanks for stopping by. Today I have a layout I created for  
49 and Market
using their brand NEW "Sand and Sea" paper collection. Wow these papers just make
 you want to jump right in the ocean. As my main background I have used the "Coral Reef"
 paper in all these gorgeous soft pink & blues. If you look close you will see all the
 wonderful details on it like coral & seaweed. etc

I trimmed the top of my layout with a strip of deeper pink from the 
"Scents of Nature" "Paradise" paper.
 I like how it matched so well & created a lovely contrast.

 I also fussy cut out a few bits & pieces from a collection sheet that you get
when you purchase the collection pack.

 Aren't the colours in this paper incredible?

I also cut out this lovely lighthouse from the "Seafoam" paper too.
 I thought it made a great embellishment.

Lots of gauze, some beautiful Mica Flakes to add to the whole ocean thing along with
a few shells too.  As well I also used some of my favourite 2Crafty Chipboard too.

 I have used lots of their gorgeous new "Mixology" flowers in white, & as you can see 

from the pic above, you get four different sizes all in one pack. Perfect for clustering. 

I actually sprayed all the "Mixology" ones in pink & aqua sprays. I have also used my

 favourite white "Garden Vine" which I cut into two pieces & I also used a canvas 

flower from our "Rustic Pointsettia's". I also sprayed that too.

Well thats all from me today, I hope you like my layout. I will see you back here
again in a few days with some more inspiration.

Until then.

Hi there friends, thanks for stopping by.

Today I have another vintage layout to share with you which

features this photo of my Great Grandfather. This is for the June

challenge over at More Than Words challenge.

This month the challenge is "STEAMPUNK" & I thought

 this photo was perfect for the challenge. He is even wearing a 

fobwatch which you can see if you look closely.

Lots of mixed media on my background using some Lindys Stamp Gang

 that turned out. It gave a lovely richness to the layout.

Lots of gorgeous 2Crafty Chipboard cogs, clock frames & a mini word.

I love that key with the steampunk wings & the copper Prills you can see here.

Lots & lots of metal embellishments to add to the whole effect.
