2 Crafty Chipboard - 'Tis the season layout

 Hello there!  
Today I have another 2 Crafty Chipboard  -Christmas-themed layout to share
 and hopefully, inspire you in some way...






2 Crafty Chipboard used: 
2020 Christmas tree
ATC - Tiny hearts & stars
Xmas lights border
Oriental Alphabet
Scrabble tiles


Let's start with this fabulous 2020 Christmas tree 
where I have kept it quite simple, inking it with 
this lovely green, which looks great might I add...


Next up is the Xmas lights border..
I started by giving this a thick coat of gesso, then colored the lightbulbs with a nice fiery red.... 
I just love how this has turned out....

Then we have those Tiny Stars, I coloured  these with a burnt yellow color
and scattered them throughout my page...

Lastly, for my title....
2 Crafty has some GREAT Christmas titles, but I wanted to do something a little different 
and  it just so happens I was an S short  in the Scrabble tiles, therefore I used an S from 
Oriental Alphabet, Colouring the S with the same color as the stars and the Scrabble tiles
I have been given a light coat of gesso...


That's it from me for this year..
I would like to thank all of you for all your support in 2022...
I wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and
 that 2023 brings you lots of joy....

Hello & thanks for stopping by...
Today I share my newest 2 Crafty Chipboard inspro....
This grungy/girly page featuring me & my sister 


and of course some fabulous 2 Crafty Chipboard...


2 Crafty Chipboard used: 
2020
Fine Month words
Rose set 1
Artdeco oval frame

If you are a regular you would know that I am a big fan of adding the date 
to most of my layouts and with this layout the date is in fact my title... 
Inking the 2020 with silver ink & the October with burgundy...


The Roses are inked with a lovely dust pink and the 
Artdeco oval frame inked with the same burgundy color as the October...

 but effective way to jazz up any project...


Well, that's it from me today,

'Simple Moments'


2 Crafty Chipboard used:
ATC - Title Stick set 1
12" Parisian board
6" Parisian board mini

As usual for me, I have not done a lot of treatment to the chipboard I've used
but still, each piece still makes a statement on the page..

Starting with the 2021 where I've inked it with a similar color to
 the chipboard using Ranger - Distress Oxide - Frayed burlap
And with the Stick Title 'Simple Moments' Ranger - Distress Oxide - Peacock Feathers...


Next is the gorgeous Foilage from Set 9 & using the same colors 
first inking with Frayed burlap, then randomly inking with the Peacock Feathers
and then cutting into smaller pieces & gluing down throughout fussy cutting 
And don't it LOOK  AWESOME...


Lastly! But certainly not least is the Parisian boards, one in 6" & the other in 12"
