October Inspiration "Cherish" for 2Crafty Chipboard

Mixed Media Vintage Canvas

"Cherish"

Hello there..

Back on 2Crafty Chipboard blog today with my october inspiration. I created a vintage style mixed media canvas and used some beautiful chipboard pieces from 2Crafty.

I created lots of layers on a small sized box canvas using different elements and incorporated the chippies therein. Flowers and other few metal elements I have used from Prima Marketing.

I chose corners and flourish designs of chippies for this project.

I started with scrap pieces of papers, cheese cloth and laces, followed by adding the chippies and flowers. I love to be asymmetric in my projects and in this one I kept the elements popping out on all four sides of the canvas. The box canvas gave my design an added dimension.

For all the chipboard pieces here, I have applied finnabair's wax in "white gold" after a layer of white gesso for the vintage look and dull finish on the project.

For the finishing touches, as always, I love adding art stones, micro beads and some glitter.

For the love of Autumn - A mini Album

Hello there..

Autumn is here with all its magic. Nature blends into the beautiful color palette and it is the time that inspires so much. I created a 6*6 album using "Botany" collection from Fabrica Decoru, that I had received as a GDT package last year. The package consisted of some gorgeous papers and die cuts.

The whole process was fun totally enjoyable, creating each page and adding those tiny details. I designed the cover with multiple shabby chic layers, using fabric, book pages, scrap pieces, chippies, die cuts and more. Nature has so much beauty and inspiration in every season, but autumn is my favourite as it inspires me more with all its gorgeous colours.

September Inspiration "Once upon a dream" for 2Crafty Chipboard

Mixed Media Canvas
 "Once Upon a Dream"

Hello there..

I am on 2Crafty Chipboard blog today with my first project for September. I created a Mixed Media Canvas
 using some gorgeous chipboard pieces from 2Crafty Chipboard and various mediums, paints and embellishments from Finnabair.

 I started by spreading a generous amount of crackle paste on the base as I love to create textures on my canvas. Then I added some more texture with modelling paste and a stencil.

For my first layer, I used some wooden circles that I had grabbed from some stationary shop long time back. Next I stuck a couple of brushes for creating dimension. I then covered it all with heavy white gesso. Then I added some color with finnabair's rust paste and metallique acrylic paint in "golden moss", which is one of my most favourite colors in this range. I used a water spray to spread the color.

Creating a textured background and having a focal element is my favourite in mixed media and here

my focal point is Dreamcatchers and the title.. I layered all the three pieces

of the Dream catchers chippies on top of each other for more depth and dimension.

I prepared my chippies with Finnabair's Metallique sparks in "unicorn's hair".
 I used an ordinary kitchen foam to apply the color over the chippies and loved the shine. They coordinated well with my background.

I layered various metal embellishments and some flowers that I coloured the same as my background shades.

Next I gave a touch Finnabair's waxes on all the metal elements to pop them up.

Finally added art stones and some background stamp to finish off.

July Inspiration "Memories" for 2Crafty Chipboard

Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout - "Memories"

Hello there..

Back today at 2Crafty Chipboard with my first inspiration for July.

It's summer and a perfect time to create a beach layout. I used a picture of my boy on the beach. He absolutely loves the sand and the sea.

I used some coordinating chippies from 2Crafty.

For this Layout, I preferred to keep my chipboard pieces in their original color. 

I layered fishing net pieces with the other paper elements.

With the Anchor piece, I tied a cotton string for added detail. And Just for the foliage,

 I used the Finnabair's green metallique acrylic paint.

I used lots of real shells for a more natural look in this layout.

June Inspiration "Mini Album" for 2Crafty Chipboard

Baby Mini Album "this girl"

Hello there..

Here I am with my second inspiration for June for 2Crafty Chipboard.

I created a Mini Album for baby girl using some lovely chippies from 2Crafty on the cover and through the pages.

I used a chipboard album consisting of four little pages that I covered with white gesso, added texture with modelling paste and stencil and then applied color using Lindy's spray. 

I have used papers from pion design.

So on the front cover, I have the main title chippie "this girl", that I embossed in white. 

For the butterflies and circle word "sweet", I used Finnabair's Art Alchemy sparks in "unicorn's hair".

For the other two mini titles "precious" and "adore" as well as for 

alpha chippies also I did white embossing.

For the round frames, I used different embossing colors based on the background.

 It was so much fun doing the chippies in a variety of colors.

Here's a flip through video..
