Adventure Bound

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new layout as DT member 

for 2Crafty Chipboard with you all today,

this time a masculine

 one using all things steampunk!

I altered the steampunk chipboard 

embellishments and frames by painting 

them with brown paint and then, 

once dry, I lightly rubbed them with 

gold and silver wax.

The light bulb word and title were heat 

embossed in gold.

I arranged all of these pieces around my 

photograph together with other  

embellishments.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Adore

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new layout as 

Design Team member for 2Crafty Chipboard 

with you all today using some of the 

beautiful chipboards 

from the collection.

I prepared the background of my layout 

with a few botanical rub-ons as well as 

die-cuts to frame my photograph.

I painted the leaf branch borders with 

copper paint and then layered these 

above and below my photograph 

together with a few die-cuts.

I painted the flourishes as well as the title 

with avocado green paint and then lightly 

brushed them with the copper paint.

I added the chipboard embellishments 

together with the last die-cuts to my layout, 

adding splashes of diluted green and copper paint 

to complete my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Summer vibes only

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing my new project as 

Design Team member for 13arts with 

you all today ~ a Summery, mixed media 

canvas using the beautiful Sweet 

Summertime collection.

I prepared my canvas my painting 

the outer edges, first with gesso and then 

with a combination of liquid acrylic medium 

and Carnelian Color Glow.

I then cut and adhered paper from the 

collection onto the canvas.  Once adhered, 

I gave the paper a good coating of clear 

gesso to protect the paper from 

other mediums.

Once dry, I stenciled onto the paper 

with the two different stencils together 

with modeling paste.

Once the paste was dry, I diluted Blue 

Diamond Color Glow with water 

and splashed this across the stenciling 

and onto the paper where my main 

composition would be.

I painted my chipboard piece with a 

combination of liquid acrylic medium 

and Carnelian Color Glow.

Once dry, I painted it lightly with a 

combination of the acrylic medium 

and Blue Diamond Color Glow so that 

the Carnelian colour would

 still be visible.

I raised my photograph onto my canvas, 

framing it with flowers and 

die-cuts from the collection.

Splashes of blue as well as 

white ink completed my layout.

I hope that this has inspired you.

Delight

 

Hello to all my creative friends.

I am thrilled to be sharing another of my 

layouts as Design Team member for 

2Crafty Chipboard with you all today.

I started by painting the three circles 

which I used with white gesso.  

I then lightly painted them with diluted 

Blue Diamond Color Glow from 13arts.

Once they were dry, I added stamping 

to the circles in black ink.

I altered the corner vines by covering them 

with embossing ink, adding Turquoise 

Antiquities embossing powder from 

Ranger to the ink and then 

heat setting them with my heat gun.

This powder gives a lovely effect of

turquoise, gold and a small amount 

of black.

I heat embossed my title with purple 

embossing powder and then, once set, 

I added a light covering of white embossing 

powder, heat setting it with my heat gun.

I added the circles to my layout before 

adhering my photograph, framed by 

ephemera, flowers and the other chipboard 

embellishments.

Here are some close-ups of my layout 

showing the details ...

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Captivating

Hello again creative friends.

I am thrilled to be sharing my new layout 

as Design Team member for 

2Crafty Chipboard with you all today.

I altered my chipboard frames by 

painting them with brown paint and 

then, once dry, lighting rubbing them 

with gold wax.

The clock faces were painted with blue paint.

I painted the chipboard title with blue paint 

and then lightly brushed it with gold embossing 

powder which I set with a heat gun.

I hope that you are inspired by this layout.
