Hello & Happy Hump Day!!
This week is just FLYING & I'm in a little bit of a 'tiz about
techno stuff freaking me out! I look after my laptop/s like
GOLD & have an old RUBBISH one that refuses to die
despite having no keyboard!!! (yup it's pretty!! Not...)
BUT still functions thanks to another keyboard plugged into it !
and a brand new one that had a SYSTEM FAILURE yesterday!!!
Thank GOD {truly}I backed up last week but really....
do I need this in my life I ask you?!?
Last week I published my FIRST POST up at 2Crafty Chipboard in Australia!
So here's a copy of it - hope you like it :)
--------------------------------------
I completed this next layout, also along the Christmas theme,
using three very different pieces of chipboard as I challenged
myself to see how effectively I could get them to work together!
The large piece of chipboard positioned under the photo, coming
out from the top right, is the 'Corner Christmas Star Spray', which
I cut into two pieces, placing the smaller piece underneath the photo.
Working around the layout in an anti-clockwise fashion,
from the top right, here in the top left corner I have used
another piece of 2 Crafty chipboard - 'Corner Marisa'.
I gave the Marisa Corner a completely different treatment to the large
' Corner Christmas Star Spray'. On the large Star piece I embossed
using Lindy's Stamp Gang Embossing Powders in Midnight Copper
& Candy Cane Red Gold, both applied randomly then sponged with
gesso, with some areas deliberately left raw too.
To add more texture & interest to my chipboard I added some white
threads underneath them, which I first swirled around to encourage
them to lie in a random pattern. I also added some staples here &
there as I love the industrial look this adds.
I used a beautiful swirl on the right of my photograph -
it is called the 'Elegant Flourish' & is sold in a pack of 2.
I treated the 'Marisa Corner' piece & the 'Elegant Swirl'
both in exactly the same way. I stamped randomly over
each using Vintage Photo Distress Ink by Ranger,
then sponged some small areas in white gesso.
I hope you enjoyed my two Christmas themed pages this month
& that they have inspired you to use 2 Crafty Chipboard
on your layouts - it doesn't even need to be specifically
Christmas themed as I've shown you.
