December Inspiration "Moment" for 2Crafty Chipboard

Mixed Media Canvas "Moment"

Hello there..

I am back with my December, more precisely, end of the year inspiration for you. 
I created a Mixed Media canvas using various steampunk chipboard pieces from
 2Crafty's fabulous new arrivals and other Mixed Media supplies.


I was quite a bit particular about the colour scheme for this canvas and wanted to stick
 to white, grey and turquoise. I am happy that I achieved the desired result.


Firstly I adhered the chipboard pieces of chicken barbed wire and gessoed them along 
with the base. I also mixed Finnabair's texture powder with white gesso. Then I 
stamped the background with random background stamps.



For the collage part, I picked three different steampunk pieces, lightbulb word and gears
 and coloured them grey by mixing a little bit of black gesso to the white one. I layered them along with other elements.



 I also added some highlight
 of Finnabair's wax in "Mystic Turquoise" to the chippies.
I stamped a couple of butterflies and cut them out to use as embellishments. 
I have embossed some parts of the paper elements and the canvas with Lindy's EP in "Desert moon turquoise".


As final touches, I added some highlights of white gesso and added distress glitter in "Pumice stone".

December Inspiration “Christmas Cheer” for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hello there..

So the best time of the year is here again with all its festivities and cheer, and I am
 back with my project for December, “Christmas Cheer” with video tutorial for you.
I prepared a layout and worked a bit out of my comfort zone with a bold coloured background.


I have used some coordinating chippies for this layout as it’s meant to be for the Christmas season.
 So here I used a wreath, lanterns and a title.
For the turkish lanterns and the title I have used Lindy’s
 embossing powder in “purely white”.
For the wreath I used “spanish moss green”. I loved the outcome as I wanted to
 stick to red green and white this time :)
More detailed pictures....







Check out the video tutorial..
