“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...
