“A Christmas To Remember”Mixed Media Layout Design Team Project for 2Crafty Chipboard

Well hello there, thanks so much for stopping by.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family

& friends & that Santa was good to you.

No doubt you have taken lots & lots of photos over this
Christmas season so I have just one last Christmas layout
to help inspire you to get some of those photos scrapped !!!

2Crafty Chipboard Used….

Stars Border

Holly Vine Corners

Messy Frame 6” Set

A Christmas to Remember - title

filmstrips - Tiny

WARNING THIS LAYOUT IS SADLY NOT A KIT.
I will be back creating lots more kits mid January!!

This one is just one for my own album.

                            After firstly creating & stencilled background & adding lots of glitter

to it, although that is not easy to see in a photo, I then did some background

stamping, added lots of lovely layers
 & then set to work customising my chipboard pieces.

The chipboard "title" & the little "Stars"were just given
a couple of coats of red acrylic paint. Too easy.

I then added some "Glossy Accents" to make the stars really
shiney & finished them off by brushing  a little
white gesso over them.

Next up I used the middle sized frame from the 

"Messy Frame Set"

to frame my photos & help draw the eye.

I basecoated it in white acrylic paint, dried it off before 

wiping it over with a brown Distress Ink Pad & giving a tiny

 spray of water which makes the ink runny & patchy & also

waters the colour down too. Always a good shabby technique.

I did the same technique on the little

"Filmstrip" at the top of the page too.

Lastly I cut up one of the "Holly Vine Corners", to use at the right

side of my photo. I painted it in a lovely green watercolour paint

& then gave it a light spray of water to make the watercolour

paint a bit runny. This gives it a nice shabby vibe.

Well thats all I have for you today.

I do hope you like it.

Until next time...

“My Christmas Angel”A Mixed Media LayoutDesign Team Project for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hi there and hello, thanks for stopping by.

Today I have a mixed media Design Team project for
2Crafty Chipboard
using some of their wonderful chipboard pieces.
THIS ONE IS SADLY NOT A KIT
These pics were taken back in 2014 & are of my gorgeous little 
 doggy who sadly crossed over the rainbow bridge back last year.

I began by creating my background with stencilling, sprays and stamping
before commencing with all the layers and then the fun part,
 altering the chipboard !!

For the chipboard title, I simply painted it with red acrylic paint.
Too easy !!

 

The gorgeous little chipboard snowflakes I heat embossed
in gold embossing powder and then tucked them in under
the edges of my photos.

Lastly came the little chippie
"Brushstoke Christmas Tree"
which I sprayed in green and then finished it off
with lots of glitter to make it sparkle !!
I then tucked it in behind the left photo.

Well thats all I have for you today.
I hope you got a little inspiration from it.

Until next time...
