2 Crafty inspiration and 7Dots challenge!

Hello there creative souls

 

I've just popped in to share my latest 2Crafty Chipboard Creation titled:

 

"A Glimpse of You"

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

 

"A Glimpse of You title"

"Mini Branches"

"Fine Snowflakes"

"Assorted Polaroid Frames"

 

 

 

 

I began by coating some of the "Assorted Polaroid Frames" in white gesso and then added white acrylic paint.

 

I added these to the background of the layout.

 

 

 

 

I swiped some Metallique Wax over the "Mini Branches" and added these to the cluster.

 

I love the effect of the wax....and it smells so good!

 

 

 

 

 

For the "A Glimpse of You title", I added Distress Oxide and a touch of white gesso to give it a more pastel shade of green.

 

I love that I can add these titles over my photos.

 

The font is gorgeous!!

Fine, yet detailed.

 

 

 

 

 

To finish off my cluster, I cut some of the sprigs from the "Fine Snowflakes" and coated them in a brown ink.

 

I then poked them throughout the cluster.

 

This just finishes off the layout.

 

 

 

Now when I sat down to create this layout, I was a little at a loss.

 

I'd had a busy couple of days and had only a couple of hours to pull something together.

 

I like my pages to come together quickly, so when this happens, I immediately go searching for inspiration in the form of a challenge.

 

I couldn't go past the one over at 7Dots Studio......

 

 

 

 

Sigh...I can always rely on finding inspiration in their mood boards.

 

I found inspiration in the colours and the nature theme.

 

Once I found a suitable photo, there was no stopping me - it came together quickly.

 

It really sparks my ideas and gets the creativity flowing. 

 

It gives me direction and also forces me to try new things.

 

 

 

 

I used loads of 7Dots Products - the background sheet is from Nature Walk. I used the Dreamscapes Stencil, Tags and Stamps. I also used Garden Party Word Stickers, Airmail Element Die Cuts and even a bit of Verano Azul 6x6 Paper Pad.

 

I adore that they all co-ordinate so beautifully.

I source all my 7Dots goodies locally, from a South Australian store Scrap Matrix.

 

I'll be back again real soon with some more scrappy stuff.
