2 Crafty Chipboard - 'Adore' layout

 Hello & a warm welcome to my blog.
Today, sharing my newest layout for 2 Crafty Chipboard..








2 Crafty Chipboard used:
Fine word set - Months
Charlotte flourish
2018
Circle tags set 1



Let's start with the gorgeous large Charlotte flourish which I 
wanted to showcase all of its beauty so I decided to cut this flourish into two pieces, 
and inked with this lovely green....


Next, I inked this sweet Adore tag from Circle Tags Set 1
then with some foam tape, I adhered onto part of the flourish.
I think it looks great with all the fussy cutting sitting underneath..


Lastly, I have added the month & year to my layout..
The 2018 I simply inked it with a lovely pale green 
which I thought looked great...


However, with the month September, I inked with a burgandy a
but wasn't really loving it so I decided to apply a thick coat of gesso over it instead
which I think looked so much better,

I really love how this has turned out!
I hope you liked it too & have been inspired you in some way

'Timeless beauty"






This features a photo of my beautiful daughter
and some really fabulous 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces: 


Old World key/Lock set
Steampunk Border 9"
Steampunk Arrow set
Timeless Beauty title
2018


Let's start with the very so gorgeous Lock from Old World key/Lockset
What I did was trying my best not to lose any of that beautiful delicate detailing
 to this lock by using a paintbrush and applying a very very light coat of gesso..

also added some gesso to this really cool Steampunk arrow I have sitting on the lock...


Next up is the title - Timeless Beauty 
.where I just simply inked it twice with  nice forest green,
I really like how it has turned out... I also did the same to the 2018


Lastly, we have the beautiful Steampunk Border 9"
So I tried something a little different from my usual inking & gessoing...
I heat-embossed this board with a really pretty Rose Quartz...

DOESN'T IT LOOK GREAT!

2 Crafty Chipboard - 'Happiness overload' layout

Hello there!
Today I have another layout to share, featuring a photo of me & the Hubstar
 and a few fabulous  2 Crafty pieces...


2 Crafty Chipboard used:
2023
Industrial light bulbs
Frame Lace heart 
Mini Title stick set 5


Let's start with these awesome Industrial light bulbs, which I have to say
I am obsessed with & were my main inspiration for this layout....  

Teamed it up with some Studio 73 papers, the Steampunk Fantasy papers 
that had similar industrial bulbs, which were perfect


I started by applying a very light coat of gesso to the tops of the bulbs 
making sure not to cover up any of the fabulous engraved details... 
Then I finish them off by applying another coat to just the bulbs part...


Next up I have used the smaller  Frame Lace heart from the set 
and simply inked using Tim Holtz Distress ink - Pumice stone
which is a similar color to the raw chipboard...
 ...

Then we have my title 'Happiness overload' from the Mini Title stick set 5
I applied a very light coat of gesso to the mini title stick, 
Again making sure not to cover up any of the engraved wording...


Lastly! I have added the year 2023
I gave it a coat of gesso then finished it with inking it with a lovely dusty pink...

I hope I have you are inspired in some way today
