"Beautiful" pour 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty friends!

Hope you're doing well! I'm back with my second layout reveal for May, featuring my sweet daughter Mila. Over the past few months of lockdown, we had the chance to spend a lot of amazing time together and I took a nice picture capturing her latest attitude.

"Beautiful"

On the "Foliage Set 6", I applied two coats of green metallic paint. For the "Freda's Butterflies", I used my finger to dab teal wax, then used my heat gun to alter the finish.

For the "Fairy Set 1", I used rose-gold embossing enamel and inked the borders in black. For the title, "Beautiful Loopy Font", I used midnight-teal embossing powder.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

"Perfect as you are" pour 2Crafty

 Hello 2Crafty Fans!

I hope you're all safe and doing fine in these special times. On my side I've been homeschooling my son and daughter for a few weeks now and we're having a pretty good time doing so. They're keeping contact with their friends with daily video calls and so far we're still all in a good mood! 

Today, I'm presenting a layout I made featuring my son, who has grown so much in the past few months since the lockdown begin here. He's really turning into a sweet teenager (ifa bit stubborn!).

"Perfect as you are"

On the "Corner Crackle", I applied two coats of green/jade metallic paint. For the "Steampunk Cog Frame", I applied silver embossing powder then a bit of black embossing ink on top.

I left the "hansome lad" chipboard from the "Mini Title Stick Set 1" to its original appearance, as I found it was a good fit for the colour theme I was going for.

For the title, "Perfect as you are", I used a sandy black embossing powder.

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

Corner Crackle [CR0072]

6" Steampunk Cog Frame [FR0137]

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

"Delight in every moments" pour 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Today I was inspired by the lovely spring weather here in Quebec to create a fresh spring-themed layout featuring my husband and I. It's still a bit cold outside, and we have had a lot of rain so far this season, so we're taking every chance we have to enjoy the sun!

"Delight in Every Moment"

 

For the "Frame Celia's Flourish", I used some white and green embossing enamel.

On the "Leafy branch border", I applied rose-gold wax. For the "Foliage Set 8", I used two coats of green metallic paint, then inked the borders in black.

On the title, "Delight in Every Moment", I first applied some rose-gold paint. Then, I applied some black embossing ink so the paint layer would show through just a tiny little bit.

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

Frame Celia's Flourish [FR0048]

Leafy Branch Border [DB0130]

Foliage Set 8 [M00867]

"Grateful" pour 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty fans!

I hope everybody is well and holding up in these very special times. On my side, my family and I are adjusting alright and we do consider ourselves lucky to be together and healthy. We're taking plenty of time to learn new crafts, discover new hobbies and realize lots of experiments with our kids. It's also our very first homeschooling experiment and they seem to enjoy it so far.

Today, I'm presenting you a layout I made this week after we went outside on a sunny day for a bit of exercise (we're allowed to go outside for exercise as long as we stay at least 2m from people living outside our home). 

I've also prepared a video to show the various techniques I used to prepare the elements in my layout:

"Grateful"

For the "6" Mandala 1", I applied a coat of black gesso then used my finger to apply a purple wax. Then I used an embossing tool to dry it.

With the "Leafy Silhouettes", I used a teal metallic paint and traced the borders with black ink.

On the "Lace Heart Frame", I used a black sandy embossing powder and then dabbed some yellow embossing ink on top.

For the title, "Grateful script", I used metallic red paint.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

6" Mandala No.1 [M00790]

Leafy Silhouette [M00498]

Lace Heart Frame [FR0087]

That's all for me today! I hope you've enjoyed this and I'll be back soon with more inspiration to share with you. Until then, stay safe!

Once Upon a dream

Hello 2Crafty fans!

I hope you're doing well! On our side, spring time has officially started here in Quebec and snow is finally melting away and we're starting to enjoy a bit of warmth. Things took an unexpected turn for us a few days ago when everything shut down due to the pandemic and everybody being asked to stay home. But we're making the most of it, spending some quality family time together. It also means I have a bit more time for crafts!!!

"Once Upon a Dream"

On the "Ornate Heart Set", I applied some shimmering rose gold paint. Then I dabbed a pink ink on top.

For the "Scroll 3", I used burgundy embossing powder, then applied a bit of copper embossing ink on top. Finally, I've added just a tiny bit of white embossing ink.

For the title, "Once Upon a Dream", I applied copper-pink embossing enamel.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout.

"Cherished Family Memories" pour 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty friends!

I hope you're having a good time! On our side, the long winter here in Quebec is finally showing signs that it might not last forever as the temperatures start rising above the freezing point every day (and hopefully we won't have winter #2 in March as sometimes happen). This brings us a nice boost of happiness, leaving the "winter blues" feeling behind. The layout I'm revealing today reflects that mood, with a warmer feeling, perfect for the spring that's starting for us!

"Cherished Family Memories"

For the "Frame Handrawn Hearts", I applied one coat of red metallic paint.

On the "Aztec Flower Set 1", at the bottom left, I dabbed a red embossing ink then applied a gold wax on top roughly, with my hands.

On the "Heart and Circle Arrow Set", I've applied honey coloured ink.

  

Behind the picture frame, on the "Checkerboard Panel", I used a teal embossing powder. For the title, "Cherished Family Hearts", I used a black embossing powder with a sandy finish.

I've used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

"Snow Happy" pour 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Today I'd like to present you the newest member of our family!! Yes, we just got a puppy! It's been years since my husband and I wanted a dog and we've decided that our kids were old enough and the time was just right. He's been with us for almost two weeks now and we're in love! He's also crazy about snow, he really likes to frolick and pounce in it!

So now I'm sharing the very first layout I made featuring him: meet Neho the puppy.

"Snow Happy"

On the "Fine Snowflakes", I've applied some white-blue embossing enamel.

For the "Dianne's Doily Set", I first applied a coat of white gesso. Then, I've used some navy-blue watercolor on top of it. I've applied some blue wax on the contour. Finally, I've traced the borders with black ink.

On the title, "Snow Happy", I used silver embossing powder and then dabbed some white embossing ink on top.
