Live laugh love - DT 2Crafty Chipboard

Another layout featuring 2Crafty Chipboard.

You can see the whole post with my previous layout and photo tut here


This time I have used a photo from our trip to London, England in June.
The girls had the time of their life going wild shopping LOL

On this layout I have used papers from 7Dots Studio Cold country collection

This time I chose to keep the chippies rather natural, only with a dash of ink
in random places. I wanted the chippies to "glide" into the layout together
with the photo and pattern paper.

I used stencils and mica powder (mixed with gel medium) from Prima/Finnabair on the background

This title matched my daughters mood on this trip - they really had an awesome time

I cut the circles into pieces and used them on different places on the layout.

 Absolutely love the Hessian Patch panels, they can be used in so many different ways!

Captured moments - DT 2Crafty Chipboard

Today I have a layout to show you featuring 2Crafty Chipboard

I also have a small photo tutorial on 2Crafty Chipboard blog where I show you some nice tip how to use chipboards as stencils. Check it out!

The photo this time, is from my town, Hamar in Norway and a glass building ,
 built to cover the remains of a church from the Middle Ages.

A fantastic building and covered with lots of trees makes it a special & beautiful place.



My background paper is from Prima, Sunrise - Sunset Collection and I used Gesso and Ecoline watercolor

I used Prima Mica Powder Rust and gel medium to color the chippies under the photo and for the others I used Archival Ink

I also added some of the Mini Branches in a cluster together with the sunflowers.

The title, Captured Moments is colored with ink in two different colors, black and orange.

Cheese cloth under the photo, colored with Art Anthology mist

Two tags - DT Mixed Media Place

Today I have two tags to show you, created for the Creative Gym Challege Exercise #14 at Mixed Media Place
 create a Xmas card, tag or ATC (only small forms are allowed)


I chose to make two tags in different colors, one red and one “blue”

Tags are so fun to make and I love to use them as cards together with a gift (instead of a card)

On the red one I used Distress Paint, Distress Stain and Archival Ink on the background to get the color I wanted.





After I got the color I added some gel medium through the bubble stencil.
 


Some metal from my stash and also some from Mixed Media Place are glued with 3D Gel Medium matte. I used the same gel to mix the mica powder on the metal.
To adhere the Micro Beads I used the same 3D gel medium. 
Some seam binding are colored with Distress Paint and I added some of the micro beads on that as well.
The button in the middle says “merry Christmas” (in Norwegian)

On the blue one I used Archival Ink on the background (after gessoing the tag first). It’s so fun to se the different look on the tag when it’s gessoed first (and of course, not to perfect gessoed, just random places).

I used Black Distress paint when I stamped  - love that look!

Added some hints of ecoline watercolor random places on the stamp.
And then I played with the yellow Mica Powder mixed with 3D gel medium, making some beams on the stamps. I also used the same mix with a stencil, the small stars.

Wish - DT Mixed Media Place

This time I have chosen an old photo of my Grandparents. Sadly they both passed away before I was born, so I have never met them.

I wish I had!



I tried to keep the page in a kind of “vintage” look, using a lot of brown color to reflect that it is an old photo. I don’t know when the photo is taken, but I guess in the early 50’s some time.


Used some mica powder rust, gel medium and stencil on the background.



I rarely use other embellishmenst in my art journals but this time I have used both chippies and metal. All is colored with Mica powder rust and gel medium.







I used some of the elements stickers from the 7Dots Studio Cold Country collection on the top right , to symbolize my grandparent’s children.
