"Fun in the Sun" pour 2Crafty et CSI

Hello 2Crafty fans!

This week I would like to show you a layout I recently made as a Guest Detective for CSI, accepting the challenge for their "Case file no. 286". Here the theme looked like good summer fun and this was perfectly fitting as we're just starting summer here up north!


Fun in the Sun




For the "Pointy Flower", I applied pink ink and then traced the border with black ink.


On the title, "Fun in the Sun", I applied gray pearl metalic paint and traced the border with black ink.


On the negative of the "Pretty Flowers", I applied honey-colored ink and then stamped an hawaiian leaves pattern with black embossing ink. For the "Fern Leaf set" at the back, I applied 2 coats of teal-green embossing powder to make them all nice and shiny.

In this layout, I used the following 2Crafty chipboards:
Pretty Flowers [M000574]
Fern Leaf Set [M00798]
Fun in the sun [W00422]
Pointy Flower [PA0021]


That's all for me today! I hope you enjoyed this layout and that it gave you some ideas for your own creations! Have fun exploring the various techniques of preparing your chipboards! See you soon with more ideas.

"Handsome" pour 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty friends!

For my layout today I wanted to build around a photo of my pre-teen son showing me his true smile, something that is getting a bit as he's growing up! One moment he can be showing his newfound attitude and the next one he can be the sweetest human being on earth!

With this layout, I wanted to highlight these both sides of him, combining both soft and hard elements. It's one of my simplest layouts in recent times, but I think it really allowed the vibe to come through.

"Handsome".



On the smallest circle of the "6" Circle Revolution Frames", I applied red embossing ink an then applied black embossing ink on top. On the "Mini Tags", I applied gray ink roughly and then I traced the contour with black ink. For the title, "Handsome - script", I used gray pearl metallic paint.


On the "Stars", I applied black embossing powder roughly, then dabbed red embossing ink on top so the black and the original chipboard color would stay visible in certain parts. For the "Circular Panel", I used silver embossing powder.

In this layout, I used the following 2Crafty chipboards:
Mini Tags [m00363]
Circular Panel [m00462]
6" Circle Revolution Frames [66030]
Stars [m00265] 
Handsome - script [w00511]


That's all for me today! I will be back in a few weeks with more ideas to share with you. Until then, have fun creating!
