Kept her Word - created for Csi & 2Crafty

Hi, Emma here with you all.

 And for today's blog post I will be sharing a page and a video that has been created for this months CSI challenge. 2Crafty are sponsoring for the month of November, which is totally awesome.

I chose to solve Case 301.

  

And here is the result....

 Here are the chipboard pieces I chose also....

Polaroid Assorted Frames
Mini Branches
Clock Face Frames
Light Bulb Word Set1

Here is how I solved the case. For the Evidence section I opted to go for Wood grain, light bulbs, leaves and frames, plus I chose this image from Pinterest as it is really awesome but it had fish as the girls hair and thought it worked well with the Evidence.

For the Testimony Part I chose the Inspiration Words, and chose the word 'home'. And I made it part of my story telling element.

I stuck very closely to the colour scheme and had a lot of fun playing with these tones. Red is a particularly hard colour for me, so I darkened it slightly to feel more earthly. But hopefully it didn't take away from the colour palette.

I hope you join in this month with the challenge. There are 3 to choose from and all very different.

I have made a video for this layout coming together that I hope you will draw inspo from too.

Look forward to more challenges in the future.

A Whimsy Layout with Emma for 2Crafty Chipboard.

Hello 2Crafty friends,

It's the end of the month which means I, Emma, will be sharing with you all today.

I made something a little more feminine for me with this page.

And I love the chipboard pieces used on it too.

The chipboard I chose for this page are.....

4" Mandala No.1
4" Mandala No.2

Aztec Feathers

Delicate and feminine.

I decided to keep the finish on the chipboard very soft and simple also.

I used Finnabair Metallique Acrylic paints on the feathers as it covers so perfectly and with such ease over the chipboard. Plus it has such a beautiful sheen once dry.

 At the completion of my page I scattered some Prills over my elements including the chipboard.

The Mandalas are also painted with the same acrylic paint as the feathers, so that they complimented each other. I kept Mandala No.1 whole but with Mandala No.2 I cut it in half and layered the 2 halves on top of each other. 

Just love how delicate this chipboard is.

Look how much shine comes from the chipboard. Just love this Mandala, it's one of my favourites.

I hope this page has inspired you a little, maybe for an end of month boost.

I will see you all very soon.

Em xx
