2 Crafty Chipboard - '#ADORE' layout

Hi there!

Today sharing a layout I recently created as part of my October DT work for 2 Crafty Chipboard using some their gorgeous Chipboard pieces... This layout featuring my gorgeous girl!!!

'#ADORE'

2 Crafty Chipboard used: 

Soft Feather 

4" Mandala No 3.

Indian feathers

ATC - hearts (from ATC Hearts & Stars pack)

Dream Catcher

#ADORE from Mini # word set 1

I started off with treating all chipboard pieces with a coat of gesso.....

Next: I cut the beautiful 4" Mandala No 3. in half and before placing a piece either side

 of my photo I randomly added some blue using a Tim holtz Distress Crayon! Doing the

 same with the Large Soft Feather and the 3 Indian feathers just adding a bit more colour

 to these....

Don't they look really PRETTY!!

Next: Adding a another coat of gesso to the few ATC - hearts before attaching them....

Also! adding another coat of gesso to the Dream Catcher once dried & with my finger 

rubbing some colour onto the catcher using Time Hotlz - Distress Oxide 'Seedless preserves'.

Next: Inking the chipboard piece #ADORE with Versa Colour - Violet ink & adhering
 onto my B& W photo... I was really HAPPY with how this looked sitting on the photo!!

Finishing off by adding an assortment of  flowers, a couple some fussy
 cut out ones as well as a couple of purple flowers just to bring it altogether nicely.

Thank you for stopping by & I hope you like & felt a little inspired...

Anna's Craft Cupboard - 13 Arts Aqua Flora 'Live Love Life" layout

Hello there! 
Back once again to share my 4th & final project as part of my October DT work for Anna's Craft Cupboard using the STUNNING....

13 Arts - Aqua Flora Collection..

If you have seen any of my previous posts I'm sure you are aware by now just how much I have adored this collection...  for my 4th project I have created another layout.... a boys layout featuring my teenage son!!

'Live Love Life' 

 Aqua Flora Collection is SO versatile & just as quick and easy to create a real awesome boys page...   for my base/ background page I've used the Shade of black paper,  added some stamping using Kaisercraft - numbers stamp, next added some flickers of paint...

Creating paper layers using Aqua Flora - 6x6 paper pad and A4 elements... and finishing off with added a few chipboard stars inking them blue & purple to continue with the colour scheme...

I have really REALLY enjoyed working with this Collection, one of my ALL time favourite collections and I hope you have been inspired in some way! This stunning collection is in store ------> HERE

Thanks for stopping by and until next time HAPPY crafting...
