First February 2Crafty Chipboard Share

Tammy here today to share my first creation for  2Crafty Chipboard with you.

 

It's titled:

"Love this Life"

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

 

"Fine Hearts Borders"

"Love this Life Title"

"Grid Panel"

"Film Strips Medium"

 

I used one of the papers and lots of the tags from the new 'Paint Chips' story from 7Dots Studio.  These are all available from my favourite scrappy store Scrap Matrix

 

 

I cut the 2 Crafty "Grid Panel" into pieces, applied a few coats of white gesso and then tucked them underneath my photo layers.

 

 

I also applied white gesso to the "Film Strips Medium"

 

I added a strip of this under my photo, and I also added a small piece to the left hand bottom corner of the layout.  This gives the layout some balance, and draws the eye into the photo.

I then added in the "Fine Hearts Borders".  Again some in the cluster at the bottom, and some behind the photo.

 

I added a few layers of Distress Ink to these until I was happy with the purplish hue I had created.

I love the "Love this Life" title.  Lol.

 

I love the two different fonts. To enhance this I decided to use two different Ink colours. 

I then added some embossing ink and some clear emboss powder.

 

I really love this effect.

I'm really happy with the colours in this one, I think they work perfectly with the photo.
