"A Self Portrait"Another Design Team Creation For2Crafty Chipboard

Hi there 2Crafty friends. Today I have a "self portrait" layout to share

with you, & as always, I have used lots of my favourite 2Crafty Chipboard.

 

I think I might make this my new profile pic perhaps 

now that I have changed my hairstyle ??

 

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

Florence Swirl Set

ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars Set

"Today title from the Fine Word Set #3 

Gears

6" Bubble Grid Panel

2019's

 

I started off with a heavily textured mixed media background

with lots of stamping..

Next up I created lots of layers underneath my photo.

Next step was deciding what chipboard pieces to use??

 

If you would like to read more about what I used etc on the chipboard,

pop over to the 2Crafty blog where I have gone into a bit more detail.

Lastly I added lots of flowers, some of which I sprayed with some

Lindy's sprays in the same colour as my background.

All finished.

I hope you like this one.

Until next time.

My Upcoming Toowoomba Card Class

Hi there paper friends.

Today I wanted to show you the cards I am teaching at my

upcoming Master Class in Toowoomba in Queensland

on Saturday 4th May

for The Vintage Chicks Club.

This is a great TECHNIQUE class. Jam packed with lots

of techniques, tips & tricks, so if you like learning NEW

techniques, then you will surely love this class.

We will be making this gorgeous little Gift Bag,

a lovely 3D Dress Card as well as this Easel Card

on which we will be hand sculpting some beautiful flowers

using some fabulous Heartfelt Creations Dies & techniques.

We are going to be using beautiful Lemoncraft papers.

They have changed the seating around & opened up an extra area

so they can accomodate some extra people, but unfortunately

it is capped at 30 people so be quick as I believe there are

only three seats left !!

For bookings, price etc,

CLICK HERE.

The Vintage Chicks Club will also have their fabulous

POP UP SHOP there too. They carry so many amazing international

brands of absolutely everything you could ever want.

It is going to be a fabulous day.

Until next time.

More Design Team Inspiration for 49and Market"Wonderful"

Hi there paper friends, back with you today with more 49and Market inspiration.

For this layout I have used papers from an earlier 49and Market collection called

  "Vintage Artistry".

 I was always a big fan of that collection.

After first starting off with a mixed media background, I did some

paper tearing & curling & then set about layering underneath the photo.

The chipboard pieces I have used are from 2Crafty Chipboard.

Then the fun part begun with adding lots of gorgeous 49and Market

 flowers from their many gorgeous collections, including some of their NEW

soon to be released ones too. I also sprayed some of the white ones blue

using some Lindy's sprays. 

To finish off I added some of their NEW Wishing Bubbles as well.

49and Market Products Used....

Vintage Artistry – “Flora & Fauna” paper-  B side

Vintage Artistry – “Seeds of Love” paper 

Stargazer Flowers in Blue

New Mini Series #1 Flowers #MS-88329-white 

Garden Vine in white (I sprayed it blue)

Wishing Bubbles - Soda Pop

Well thats all I have for you today. I do hope you like my

layout & that I have inspired you in some small way.

Until next time....
