"Discover" pour 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty fans!

This week was a very special one for my son Liam and us as his parents. Our boy is graduating, going to high school next september! The last few months of school were very strange given the weird times we're going through in 2020. He really missed seeing his friends and teachers in person, but they kept contact daily with video calls. As a mom, I'm so happy and proud of him, but also a bit sad that my first baby boy is turning the page on a great chapter of his life, starting an even better one.

"Discover"

 

On the "Star Badges", I applied a coat of metallic red paint and a teal embossing ink on top. 

 

For the "Checkboard Panel", I applied a coat of midnight-teal embossing powder, then a coat of midnight-bronze embossing powder and finally another coat of midnight-teal embossing powder. This gives a graduated color effect.

For the "Mini Title Stick Set 1", I simply inked the top to let the "life is good" title show through with its original chipboard color.

On the "Frames Circle Borders", I used teal ink and traced the borders with black ink. For the title, "discover", I applied two coats of red-bronze embossing powder.

 

For this layout I used the following chipboards:

Checkboard Panel [660045]

Frames Circle borders [FR0018]

Star badges [M00264]

Mini title stick Set 1 [MB022]

Discover [W00579]

That's all for me today! I hope you enjoyed this layout and that it gave you some inspiration for your own creations! I'll be back in a few weeks with more ideas to share with you guys! Until then, take care and have fun crafting!

 

"Remember" pour 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty fans!

It's going to be our first summer since our new furry friend joined our family and he's already having a blast spending more time outside than he could during the cold winter months. He just loves sleeping in the shade and playing with the kids, especially when they're playing with water! Yesterday I took a picture of him after my daughter splashed him and it was just perfect for a new layout.

"Remember"

On the Dianne's doily set, I applied a coat of a red acrylic paint and used a flowerish stamp with some sandy embossing powder. 

On the palm set leaves, I used watercolor paint. I mixed a bit of blue and lime colors to get the shader I was looking for. On the intricate sea horses, I used blue embossing ink and added some pearl embossing powder on top of it.

For my title, I applied a sandy black embossing powder very roughly, so we can see the grain of the chipboard.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Intricate Seahorses [M00702]

Palm Leaves Set [M00739]

Dianne's doily set [M00586]

Line words -Goodtimes borders [DB0096]

That's all for me today! I hope you enjoyed my layout and it gave you some inspiration for your own creations. I'll be back soon as my family and I are splashing into summer! See you soon!
