Opening presents......for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hi there, I've popped in today to share a Christmas inspired layout for 2Crafty Chipboard.
It's titled:
 

'Opening Presents'

 


I had so much fun creating that Christmas wreath.
 
I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard pieces:
 
'Opening Presents Title'
'Corner Sweet Holly'
'Frame Viney Circles'
'Corner Holly Vines'
'Tiny Hearts and Stars'
 
 
 
 
 
I absolutely adore this time of the year.
 
Everything about it is magical!!
 
 
 

 
This month 2Crafty Chipboard is sponsoring the fabulous CSI Challenges.
 
I solved Case No 267......



 
 
I was inspired by the gorgeous colours of the Scene and also the whimsical feel.
 
I had so much fun solving the case and used lots of the clues - dots, Christmas/holiday, tags, stars, animals (birds and deer), garland, stamps and string.
 
You can head to their challenge site HERE to see the list of clues.
 
 
 
 
I began by applying white gesso to ALL of the chipboard.
 
I then added white acrylic paint to everything too.
 
I trimmed down the 'Frame Viney Circles', 'Corner Sweet Holly' and the 'Corner Holly Vines'. I needed them to fit into a circular shape as I wanted to create a Christmas wreath.
 
I then applied watercolour paint to various individual pieces, just to highlight some of the beautiful elements of the chippy - so fun!
 
 
 
 
Just look at those gorgeous 'Corner Sweet Holly' pieces, with the holly and the birds!
 
Super cute!
 
 
 
 
I added a few of the stars from the 'Tiny Hearts and Stars' Pack, to give a touch more of that gorgeous blue colour.
 
I just popped them in here and there.
 
 
 
 



For the 'Opening Presents title', I heat embossed it with white emboss powder, just to give a slightly different finish to the other pieces.






I added some pen marks to some of the holly, and also added a gorgeous new Clarabelle Stamp available from Scrap Matrix.

The perfect way to finish off the wreath and add to the whimsical feel of the layout.







That's it from me today, enjoy this magical time of the year, and I will see you a bit later on with another creation.
