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

to these ferns, by embossing them, then with a blending brush adding some colour.

AND I am SUPER happy with how these have turned O.U.T...

'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
