Sanctuary created for 2Craftychipboard

  Hi 2crafty friends.

Today I share a nature inspired layout.

And these are the amazing chippy pieces used...

Barb Wire
Amelias Frames
Mini Travel words 1

I love how this page took form. Not my usual style to start off with, using modelling paste adding colour....ect....bur rather using a stencil and adding oxide ink through it on a white cardstock base.

This gave a great earthy feel which was exactly what I was after, Then I added some rub ons and some stamping. This was the base complete. Within my composition I added the amazing chipboard pieces. 

Wanting to keep the warm earthy tones I was going to keep the chippy raw, I decided against it and added a light tint from some oxides instead.

The mini word I chose for this project is Sanctuary. It really spoke to me and suited the image I chose.
We all need to go back to nature and breathe the fresh air.

And the last piece of chippy added was the barb wire. I chose this chipboard as a focus on what mankind has done to slowly ruin our forests and our nature. Slowly though, I believe this earth will grow back to the beauty it always was.

I hope that you have been inspired today and I look forward to seeing you next month.

Stay crafty, Em xx

 

Brave created for 2Crafty Chipboard

 Welcome everyone.

Emma here with you today. And today I share a 9"x12" layout with you entitled 'Brave'.

Check out the awesome chipboard used on this project...

Decorative Doily
Lattice Leaf Set
Pointy Flower Vines

Again this project I kept it sweet and simple with my finishes on the chipboard.

The beautiful pointy flower vine was painted with a pink acrylic paint and once dry 3 different wax finishes were applied. All the colours were chosen to reflect the paper choice and photo used.

The stunning lattice leaves are again painted with an acrylic first and then a couple of Matte wax to draw out the shade of blue to match the layout.

And this final piece which I think is my favourite decorative doily is also painted with another pink/purple acrylic and a couple of matte waxes. 

I love the simplicity of the mediums on all the chipboard pieces, yet the outcome of the page is striking, bright and playful. 

I hope this page has inspired you a little today.

See you all soon, Em xx
