My second 2Crafty Chipboard share for July!

My second layout for 2Crafty Chipboard this month is about my brother and me.

 

It's titled:

 

"Our Story"

 

 

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

 

'Interlocking Grid Panel'

'Circle Frames'

'Just love our Story title'

 

 

 

 

 

I began by applying some white gesso to my dark background paper.

 

I then added some spritz in bright blue and lime.

 

I used a new stencil and heavy gesso to create the white lines in the background. I got these from Scrap Matrix on a recent shopping spree.  I adore their products - mixed media heaven!

 

 

 

I painted the 'Interlocking Grid Panels' in teal paint and then stamped a random background pattern onto them.

 

Oooh look I spy a 'Kit the Habit' flair!

 

 

I painted the 'Circle Frames' in a bright blue paint and then also added some stamping.

 

 

Underneath the photo, there are lots of layers and strips of patterned paper, and also a pocket.

 

My brother's and my story is quite traumatic, and as it has details in the journaling that I didn't want everybody to read, I tucked it into a pocket.

 

 

A very therapeutic process, getting some of those thoughts down on paper.

 

 I added some quotes that suited the story, and finally I added my title.

 

 I chopped off the 'Just Love' section and left it as 'Our Story', as this suited the layout much better.

 

 

 

I painted the title purple and added Dimensional Magic to give it a glossy shine.

 

A few flicks of coloured paint, some thread and it's all done!!

 

Hope this one has inspired you.

 

I really loved creating with bright colours onto the dark background!

 

Happy creating, see you again soon
