May 2 Crafty Share Part 1

Good morning everybody.

 

Today I'm sharing my first layout for 2Crafty Chipboard for this month.

 

It's titled:

 

"Love"

 

This one is about documenting a guest book I created for a very special wedding we attended. 

I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to create it and really wanted to have a memory of this.

 

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

"Polaroid Assortment Frames"

"Frame Viney Circles"

"Lace Heart Frames"

"Love Loopy Font Title"

"Grid Bits"

"ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars"

"Flower Doilies"

I applied white gesso to the "Grid Bits", a "Viney Circle Frame" and to the 

"Love Loopy Title".  I then added white paint. 

 I decided to keep them plain white as a contrast to the dark background paper.

 

 

 

I tucked a few "Polaroid Assorted Frames" into my clusters - these I heat embossed 

with a gorgeous shabby chic metallic emboss powder.

 

 

 

I also tucked in a few of the gorgeous "Flower Doilies". 

I applied white gesso to these and then added a gold spritz to give them a slight colour/glow.

 

 

 

I added a "Lace Heart Frame" and decided to leave this plain - as the raw colour really complemented the layout and also I had added a lot of white chipboard to that particular area,

 so it contrasted with those pieces nicely.

 

 

Finally to bring out the touch of red in the layout, I painted a few little hearts from the  

"ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars" in a red colour and scattered these around the layout.

 

 

 

 

 

I did a lot of layering and clustering in this layout, and unlike my usual style of bright, 

full-on colour,  I was very controlled and added just a splash of colour here and there.
