Amazing Day layout for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hi there 2Crafty friends and welcome once more.


Even though it is the Christmas season and everyone is feeling festive I thought I would just share a layout other then Christmas related.

This one uses a Wedding photo but it could easily be used for any other 'Amazing Day' subject.

'Amazing Day'



Products:
- 'Amazing Day' sentiment
- Wrought Iron Border - large
- Wrought Iron Borders - Medium


I added some opal magic violet-gold to the Wrought Iron Chipboard.


Unfortunately the camera is only picking up on the gold colour.


I layered the chipboard behind my photo and other embellishment as my main feature of the layout. The detail on this chipboard is so amazing I wanted to make sure it stood out from the rest.


Because I used a wedding photo for this layout I picked up some nice pieces of lace to represent the stunning wedding dress.


The 2Crafty Chipboard sentiment was coloured with some soft pink paint, again to pick up on some colours in the photo as well as some of the other embellishments used.


The flowers and laser cuts are of course from 49 and Market and were layered on top of the chipboard with some foam squares to add dimension.


And that is it for me for this month. 

I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Will hopefully see you all again in 2019.

Until next year.....

Hugs

Adventure layout for 49 and Market

Hello and welcome back again to my Blog.
Even though it is now Summer in my neck of the woods and rather warm I thought I would try to ‘cool’ off by creating a wintery layout.
‘Adventure’
I love the snow covered pine trees on this gorgeous background paper from the ‘Winters Edge’ collection and thought these funny photos would suit this paper really well. I mean who hasn’t at least once tried to catch falling snow with your tongue ðŸ™‚
Product List:
– Winters Edge Collection – Snow Covered Trees
– Winters Edge – Laser Cuts
– Stargazers – Simply White
– Botanical Blends – Navy
– Jute Cording – 5 ply
I added splatters of white ink to the Navy Botanical Blends flowers to mimic the fallen snow on the little girls woollen hat and scarf.
I tucked the white Stargazers amongst the navy flowers to add contrast and break up the colour scheme a bit.
I also added a few elements from the Laser Cuts sheet that weren’t to Christmas related like the pine cones and tucked them amongst my flowers.
How cute is the little lantern, just love it!
I separated some of the fibres from the jute cording and tucked bits and pieces of it amongst my other elements to give it a bit of a rustic feel.
Hello there little birdie ðŸ™‚
The snowflake chipboard pieces are of course from 2Crafty Chipboard and I added some Shimmering pearl embossing powder.
So that is it for my for now, I hope you enjoyed it.
Until next time….

Joy layout, CSI inspiration challenge for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog post.

Today I would like to share with you a Christmas layout.

'Joy'


This month 2Crafty Chipboard is a sponsor for CSI: Colour, Stories, Inspiration challenge and I am one of the lucky DT ladies who got to play along as Guest Detective


The scene for this month's Case File:

To copy the colour scheme I had some issues as I couldn't find any Christmas related papers in those colours so I went for the love struck collection by Authentique which I think worked well for this layout.


From the evidence I chose to use 2Crafty elements: stars, snowflakes/winter elements, animals (deer), Christmas elements (Holly Leaves) and for the testimony I chose the title word 'Joy'.


I added some silver embossing powder to the holly leaves and snow flakes and white embossing powder to the title, stars ad hearts and date to tone in with the other colours.


Other elements from the evidence are dots, grid pattern, more hearts, string, numbers, tag and from the testimony I added journaling to the tag which is tucked behind the photo mat as well as the photo is documenting the joy of the holidays.


Flowers are from 49 and Market and the stargazers make perfect poinsettia flowers.

Product List:
- Star Circular Frames
- Deer Set
- Fine Snow Flakes
- Holly Twig
- Christmas Card Words
- ATC Tiny Hearts and Stars pack
- 2018 Date Chipboard



And there you have it, I hope you enjoyed today's blog post.

Until next time......

Hugs
