Hello Friday!! Above is my latest layout for 2Crafty Chipboard, up on their blog right now!
I used this month's Prima Product Pick for my inspiration. LOVE the pale colours.
I used some patterned paper from the Princess collection - Mia, even though the mood
board is showcasing the "Something Blue" Collection & I have quite a few of the papers.
I wanted my layout really soft so thought this grey damask print would be perfect for it.
I started with a new Prima 12" Bamboo mask & some texture paste, followed by some mists
in colours matching the mood board, then layered up some papers from "Something Blue"&
"Cartographer" together with some "Free Spirit" Packaging :) Of course there is lots & lots
of 2Crafty chipboard on this page too! The "Precious" word title & the "Love Swirl" Photo
adornment as well as the leaves {tiny leaf stems} & the Edgar swirl on the right of the photo.
I also used some Prima Say-it-in-Crystals swirls as well as some of their new loose bling
from the "Something Blue"Collection, a wooden clock embellishment from a few seasons
ago, one of their bark hearts, plus their latest crochet lace doilies & a "Free Spirit" paperclip.
For the chippie treatment I spread on some the leaves randomly with some texture paste,
followed by a pink gelato, which I rubbed in with a baby-wipe. I wanted a very light look.
For the Word titles I dabbed on some texture paste again with a palette knife
then wrote over with a Photo Marker, cross-hatch shading on the hearts,
& lastly I rubbed in some Gold gelato.
My last addition to this layout was using the 2 Prima wooden birdies under the photo
{& they are still making me smile!} I also have a new Prima tassle in the mix & an
older Prima flower. Playing along with these challenges consistently for years now
is a really brilliant way of working through your Prima stash.
I will definitely be doodling on my chippies again soon - love the look of the scratchy lines!
I am just so in love with texture - it is hard to believe that for the first half of my
scrappy life I barely used it! I was definitely missing out on half of the fun!!
I was happy with my idea of cutting the one black & white photo into a heart.
To get it symmetrical I first drew the heart in rough on a notepad then
folded it in half to make sure both sides were identical, cut around it then
used it as a template. It was super quick & easy!
I tucked in a little Prima tile under my photo at the top there to balance out the
dimension,as well as the "Edgar Swirl" chipboard from 2Crafty, treated with the
same texture paste/photo marker pen/gold gelato technique.
HAPPY WEEKEND!!
