Hi everyone, I've popped in today to share some more 2Crafty Chipboard goodness with you all.
This one's titled
"Magical"
A page telling the story of a recent fancy dress party.
I love the bright bold colours against the black.
Yep, surprise surprise, this page has bold colour!!
I guess it's my signature style, but the photo and theme really called for it.
I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard on this page:
"Grid Bits"
"Fine Word Set 2"
"Lina's Swirl"
"Element Set 1"
"Starbright Snowflakes"
I began by painting all of the chipboard, except for the title in a few coats of white gesso.
I applied white acrylic paint to the "Grid Bits" and the "Lina's Swirl".
I knew these would pop against the black background and bold colours.
I tucked "Lina's Swirl" underneath my photo, and the "Grid Bits" underneath all the layers.
To the "Starbright Snowflake", I added a variety of Dylusions Ink Sprays.
Instead of spritzing them on, I applied them direct with a paintbrush. This gives a more concentrated colour.
I layered the colours as I really wanted to create an ombre look that complemented the background.
I used the colours "Fresh Lime" and "Polished Jade".
I also used this technique on the "Elements Set 1"
I really love the Moroccan feel of both the shape and the effect I achieved on the chipboard.
It really helps to 'tell the story'.
I tucked both of these pieces amongst the layers.
Finally I added black gesso to the "Magical" Word from the "Fine Set 2".
I laid these down the side of my photo.
I have created a video of the layout so you can see it all come together.
You can see EXACTLY how I created the gorgeous painted background, and also how I created the ombre finish on the pieces of chipboard.
Hope you enjoy it!!

Wish me luck!
Until next time, happy creating you beautiful people!
