My second March Layout for 2Crafty.....

Today I'm sharing with you my second layout for 2Crafty Chipboard for March.

It's titled: "Make a Difference"

This one is much softer than my usual style, although I couldn't help adding black to give it contrast.

The theme of this layout is a serious one - it's all about my passion for preventing and reducing violence against women.
This inspired the hearts, the title and the soft colour palette.

For this layout I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard pieces:

"Make a Difference title"
"Drawn Heart Frame"
"Heart Clumps"
"Fine Leafy Bush"
"ATC Tiny Hearts and Stars"

 

 

 

 

I painted the "Drawn Heart Frame" and the "Make a Difference title" black, as I wanted these to 'pop' against the soft colours.

 

 

I painted the "Fine Leafy Bush" white. 

 I then cut off the little clusters and poked these in around the flowers.

 

 

 I embossed the "Heart Clumps" with a gorgeous cream emboss powder,

 which has a hint of pink and gold in it. So pretty!

 

 

I then painted some hearts from the "ATC Tiny Hearts and Stars" in a soft pink paint. 

I scattered these randomly on the layout.

 

 

 

 

 You will notice this layout moves from the top left corner, down to the bottom right corner. 

This creates movement through the page.

I used the frame and the clusters of embellishments to draw the eye into the photo.

 

I finished off with the most important part.....the story, the journaling.

Until next time
