Another 2Crafty Chipboard Share

Hi there everyone!

 

I'm back again to share another layout with lots of yummy NEW 2Crafty Chipboard!

 

This one is titled:

'Shine'

 

 

It's a layout celebrating my amazing daughter and her recent volunteer trip to Cambodia, where she was involved in building a house for a family and also educating and teaching English at the School.

 

Definitely life changing, definitely inspiring, definitely proud!

Definitely needed to be documented!

 

 

 

As you can see I also added lots of 7Dots Studio tags and word stickers. You know I can't do a layout without them!! I get all my 7Dots products at Scrap Matrix.

I also LOVE that Carabelle stamp - also available from Scrap Matrix.

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

 

'Fern Leaf Set' *NEW*

'Fine and Fancy Butterfly Set' *NEW*

'Fine Word Set 2'

'Mini Squiggly Bits' *NEW*

'Polaroid Assorted Frames'

 

 

I began by painting one of the frames from the 'Polaroid Assorted Frame Set' in white acrylic paint.

 

I then added some random stamping with black ink.

 

 

 

I used the frame to highlight a photo, and then added some embellishments to the side. 

This really draws the eye into that particular area, making it the focal point.

 

 

 

I also painted the 'Mini Squiggly Bits' in white paint.

 

I poked these around the layers of the layout, so they are peeking out.

The white contrasts really well with the black background.

 

 

 

I added the word 'shine' from the 'Fine Word Set 2' to the strip of photos.

 

These fine words are perfect for adding to the tops of your layers and photos - they are fine and so don't cover up too much.

 

I simply added black paint to this. It's really all that was needed.

I also painted the 'Fern Leaf Set' black, and once dry I randomly swiped Opal Magic in Aqua/Rose over the top.

 

I really love this effect and it suits the layout perfectly.

 

 

In the bottom left hand corner, you can see I've created a smaller cluster.

 

To this I added a NEW 'Fine and Fancy Butterfly'.

These are gorgeous, and there's three in a pack, I only used one so I have some leftover for another creation!

I simply applied some Archival Ink in 'Garden Patina'.

 

 

 

There you have it!

 

 

 

 

 

That's it from me today, I look forward to inspiring you again soon.
