This Girl.....for 2Crafty Chipboard

 

I've popped in today to share my latest 2Crafty Chipboard creation.

 

This one's titled:

 

"This Girl"

 

A layout about my gorgeous niece. Isn't she just divine?

 

 

 

 

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

 

"This Girl Title"

"Rose Set"

"Flower Doilies"

"Pine Needle Wreath"

 

 

 

 

I began by painting all of the chippy with a couple of coats of white gesso.

 

To the "Pine Needle Wreath" I added white acrylic paint. Simple, easy, yet a great contrast.

 

 

I then painted the largest doily from the  "Flower Doilies" set with my fave Dylusions Ink Sprays, available from Scrap Matrix

 

I love using this technique.  Instead of spritzing them on, I open the bottles and paint it on with a paintbrush. It gives a more intense colour.

 

For this I used the colours 'After Midnight' and 'Lavender'. I love adding them over the top of each other in sections as this creates an 'ombre feel'.

 

 

I repeated this process on the roses in the "Roses Set".

 

I then painted the leaves/branches with white acrylic paint and then added some doodling with a black marker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love that this ties the layout together, and the effect on the chippy co-ordinates with the flowers that I stamped and fussy cut out using an awesome stamp by AALL & Create available from Scrap Matrix.

 

 

To the "This girl title", I added white paint to the bottom word, and added navy acrylic paint to the cursive word.

 

I love the 2Crafty titles with the dual fonts, and I love painting them different colours to match my layouts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So that's it from me today, I hope it's inspired you to get creating.
