More 2Crafty Chipboard Design Team Inspiration"This Is Me"

Hi there friends, I hope you are enjoying the festive season as much as

 I have been, however, I have done sooo many Christmas layouts over the past

 couple of months that I thought today I would do a  non-Christmas  layout !!

I started off with a mixed media background. 

 2Crafty Chipboard Used...

Ornate Screen

"This Is Me" - title

Corner Evie

Fions's Flourishes

Fern Leaf Set

I started off by base coating ALL my chipboard with a coat of white

 acrylic paint as that gives it a nice base to accept colour well.

For the title I used Silks paint in this gorgeous lime/olive colour. 

When dry I wiped it over roughly with Finnibair wax paste in gold.

Don't you just LOVE this "Ornate Screen"? So fine & delicate.

This was coloured up with a couple of coats of Distress Ink..

 These gorgeous "Fern Leaves" were painted the same as the title.

Lots of layers, flowers, a string bow & a couple of little metal embellishments too.

At the side of my page I have actually cut a piece of one of the

"Fiona's Flourishes", coloured them the same way I did  the "Ornate Screen"  

& then tucked them in along the side of the layout for some extra interest.

I finished off my layout by using one of the "Corner Evie" 

 in the top right corner & added a few flowers to it.

Another layout complete.

I hope I have inspired you in some small way today.

Until next time.

Some More Design Team Inspiration For49 and Market"Memory of You"

Hi there friends, thanks for stopping by. Today I have some more design team

inspiration for 49 and Market.

As I said the other day, I have done sooo many Christmas layouts in the past couple of

 months, so I decided to do another  NON-Christmas layout, just for a change.

 49 and Market Products Used...
"Cottage Life" 3D Layered Embellishments
Cottage Life "Garland" papers
Island Paradise "Tropical Oasis" papers
"Garden Seeds" flowers in Aloe

With my layout I started off by fussy cutting a couple of pieces of this gorgeous 

"Garland" papers. This paper is soooo pretty.

 For the background I used a piece of the B side of the "Tropical Oasis"

 paper from the "Island Paradise" collection.

 I layered lots of the fussy cut flower images along with some of the fabulous

 3D layered embellishments & I added just a few paper flowers too.

 All my chipboard I have used is from 2Crafty Chipboard.

Another layout complete. I was really happy how this turned out, you really can't 

go wrong when you are using such beautiful products, don't you agree?

Until next time.

Some More 2Crafty Chipboard Design Team Inspiration"Elf Antics"

Hello there thanks for stopping by.

Today I have another Christmas creation to

 share & it features my gorgeous grandson Henry.

I took this pic of him last last Christmas & this title was just perfect !!

This month 2Crafty Chipboard is sponsoring CSI challenge blog
so I have taken my inspiration for this layout from their current challenge. 
See their challenge image at the bottom of this post.

 

 2Crafty Chipboard Used...

"Elf Antics" - title

Wire Stars

Ornament sampler

After a quick mixed media background I set about 

painting both the "Wire Stars" & the "Ornament Sampler"

in a couple of coats of gold acrylic paint.

I have cut the "Ornament Sampler" into two pieces, putting one

piece down the bottom underneath the flowers & the other piece 

in the top corner to add some balance to my layout.

That title is just the perfect title for little boy Chrissy pages.

I gave it a coat of lime green "Silks" paint before going over it 

with a very light coat of gold paint. I wanted it to tone in.

The other half of the "Ornament Sampler". 

 A super easy but effective Christmas layout complete.

I hope I have inspired you to maybe do something similar.

2Crafty is sponsoring CSI challenge this month & myself & some of our

DT girls have played along. I have taken some inspiration from this.

Until next time.

More Design Team Inspiration For49 and Market"Merry Christmas"

 Hi there friends, thanks for stopping by. Today I have another Christmas themed layout

 to share with you using the latest "Winters Edge" paper collection from 49 and Market.

 I adore the wonderful vintage feel of this paper collection.

 49 and Market Products Used...
Winters Edge - "Salutations" paper
Winters Edge - "Frolic" paper
Vintage Shades Botanical Blends - Cerise
Vintage Shades Potpourri - Cerise
Floral Mixology - Emerald Isle

 I thought I would go for an alternative Christmas colour scheme on this one & I think it

 worked out well, especially when teamed with their beautiful "Vintage Shades" flowers.

 I naturally have used lots of my favourite 2Crafty chipboard 

 which I have heat embossed in a lovely gold sparkly finish.

 I even added some gold shimmer spray to lots of the 

foliage & flowers to add to the whole sparkly vibe.

 Some gold paint, gold splatters & lots of gold bits poked

 in here & there to add to the Christmas feel.

 I have really enjoyed creating with these gorgeous papers. This is actually the third Christmas

 layout I have done using this paper collection & I must say I have been happy with all three.
