"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:

5" Floral Frames [FR0055]

Lattice Leaves[ M00589]

Sharon's butterflies [M00496]

This is me [W000351­]

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.

"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!

Cherish your yesterday, dream your tomorrows and live your todays pour 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Happy April everyone! I'm back for my first post of the month with a new layout to reveal. This time around, it features my husband as we were playing in the snow a few weeks ago, after the last snowstorm of the winter.

I inked the "Fernlike Snowflakes" with teal ink and then applied white enamel powder towards the center. Then, for the "Steam Punk Strips", I've roughly applied blue embossing powder to let the natural cardboard colors show through in a few spots.

  

On the "Sybills Name Plates", I applied white diluted paint so it would not be completely opaque.

For the title, "Cherish your yesterdays", I applied 2 coats of teal embossing powder.

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

[W00419] Cherish your yesterdays title

[M00781] Steampunk strips

[M00611] Fernlike snowflakes

[M00365] Sybill's Name plates

That's all for today, I hope you enjoyed it and it gave you some ideas for your own creations! I'll be back soon with more sparkles of inspiration to share. Until then, have fun creating!

Embrace today pour 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty friends,

It is March spring break here in Quebec (even if it's still cold winter here!), so it's the perfect time to have fun with the kids and create new layouts to share with you! So today, I am revealing a layout that highlights this happy, joyful mood featuring me, Liam and Mila as we're enjoying a meal at a restaurant to kick off the vacations!

For the "Stitched Lace Border", at the bottom right in the background of this picture, I've applied 2 coats of bronze embossing powder.

On the "11" Fina Floral Frame Set", visible at the right and top-left of the picture, I applied golden embellishment mousse with a brush.

For the "Doily Frame" around the picture, I applied a pink embossing enamel on the smaller frame and a white-gold embossing enamel on the larger frame. On the "embrace today" title, I applied a fine coat of white embossing ink so it lets the chipboard texture see-through. then dabbed a bit of copper embossing ink on top.

For the "Leafy Silhouettes" at the very left of the picture, I used some acrylic rose-gold painté

The following chipboards were used in the layout:

Doily Frames [FR0060]

Embrace Today [w00458]

Stitched Lace border [DB0099]

11" Fine floral Frame Set [120088]

Leafy Silhouettes [M00498]

For this layout, I inspired myself from the 13@rts march's challenge #76. 

I used these few mixed media products for this creation.

That's all for today! See you mid-march for my next reveal. Until then, have fun creating!
