My latest for 2Crafty Chipboard.....

Today I've popped in to share my latest for 2Crafty Chipboard.

 

This one's titled:

"You make me Happy when Skies are Grey"

 

I had a lot of fun with this one!

I created the background paper by using a green sheet of paper, adding a funky stencil, and some spritz.

 

Easy yet so effective!

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

 

"You make me Happy when Skies are Grey title"

"Foliage Set 5"

"Flowering Clusters"

"Weeping Vine"

 

All of the chipboard was clustered to one corner of the page.

 

I did this as the background was quite busy, and I wanted to focus the eye of the viewer into the photograph.

 

 

 

I went simple with colour, again because of the busy background, keeping it mostly monochromatic.

 

 

 

 

I applied white gesso to the "Flowering Clusters" and used these as my background piece.

 

 

 

 

I also applied white gesso to some of the leaves in the "Foliage Set 5".

 

Once dry, I added some black pen marks, just for a bit of fun.

 

 

 

 

I added some teal coloured ink to the "You make me Happy when Skies are Grey" title.

 

I love that pop of teal mixed with the lime and black and white!

 

 

 

 

Finally I added white emboss powder to the "Weeping Vine", and poked this in amongst the layers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see I added my favourite embellishment - some 7Dots Studio tags, available from Scrap Matrix.

 

They sure do show up on EVERY PAGE I create!

 

 

 

 

That's it from me today, I hope I've inspired you.

 

I'll be back again soon, until then I hope you get some creative time!
