"These Moments" pour 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty friends! 

Yaaaay! Our annual family vacations are finally here and you all know what it means: it's time to let the pressure off and go a little crazy!! We started this amazingly yesterday with a bunch of nice frozen treats for everyone, and my son Liam was pretty proud of his blue tongue. This inspired me to prepare this layout, which I found captured the mood quite well.

"These Moments"

I left the "Steampunk Gears", behind the frame, to their natural chipboard color, as I found it blended very well with the shades I had chosen for the other chipboard pieces.

On the "Wire Stars", I sprayed some navy blue metallic paint.

For the "Steampunk Arrow Set", I applied white and blue embossing enamel.

On the title, "These Moments", I applied 2 coats of navy blue paste using a brush. For the "Diamond Chunk Bits" behind the picture, I applied charcoal metallic paint roughly to let the original chipboard finish show through a little.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

That's all for me today! I'll be back soon with more inspiration to share. We're going on a nice trip over the next few days so I'll have plenty of fresh new ideas to share with you! Until then, have fun creating!

"This is me" pour 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Summer is in full swing now in Quebec and I was in a particularly cheery mood last week as I was spending plenty of time outside in the sun. I took a selfie that I think did a great job of capturing my mood and decided to create a new layout with it.

"This is me"

For the "Sharon's Butterflies" in the back, I used pink embossing ink and traced the contour with black ink.

On the "5" flora frame", I first applied teal paint, then added some diluted blue metallic paint on top. Then I dabbed some pink embossing ink on top of the other coats.

On the "Lattice Leaves", I applied teal paint, somewhat giving a metallic look.

For the title, "This is me", I used pink metallic paint as a stain, then inked the border with black ink.

For this layout, I used the following 2Crafty chipboards:

That's all for me today! I hope this will give you ideas for your own creations. I'll be back soon, still in a very cheery mood with more ideas to share with you! See you soon.
