'Hello beautiful Hahndorf' for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hi there chippy fans,

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

It's titled:

"Hello beautiful Hahndorf"

For those who follow my work, you know I am all about COLOUR, and usually the brighter the better!  Today I wanted to challenge myself and add some softer tones.

I spent a recent weekend in the Adelaide Hills in a gorgeous town called Hahndorf.  It's quaint and authentic and we were lucky enough to visit as the leaves had begun to turn.

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

'Hello beautiful title'

'Autumn leaves'

'6" revolution frame'

'Amelia flower stems large'

'Amelia flower stems small'

I painted the 'Amelia flower stems large' and the 'Amelia flower stems small' with white gesso and then added white acrylic paint.

I wanted them to be really fresh and white.

I then added them in underneath the cluster of flowers.

To finish them off, I added a touch of doodling to them using a black gel pen.

I repeated this process for the '6" revolution frame' to get it a vivid white.

I didn't add any doodling to this, I just used it as a frame around the photos.

I also completed the above process on the 'Autumn Leaves', however to finish them off, I stamped with a script stamp over the top.

I absolutely love how this looks!

Soft and yet textured and interesting.

I added these leaves to the flower cluster and also placed them on the layout so they looked like they were falling.

I did this to emphasise the Autumn feel.

As this page is soft and contains pastel tones, I wanted my title to be soft and yet still be a focal point of the layout.

I coated it in white gesso and then added some watercolours to the words.

I love how the watercolours have dried with an ombre effect.

I also love that the different fonts are in different colours.

I love that about 2Crafty chippy titles.

There you have it.

I'll pop back again a bit later in the month with more inspiration.

Lots of creative love
