"Love that Smile'' by Elisa Ablett for 2Crafty Chipboard

'Love that Smile' 


Hi Crafters,

Thanks for stopping by the Blog today.

Elisa here from the design team for 2crafty Chipboard with my latest inspiration for you; 
a colourful boho style mixed media layout featuring some lovely pieces 
of 2Crafty Chipboard and a half mandala background design featuring 
the new Nuvo Shimmer Powders and Finnabair Metallic Wax.



2Crafty Products used:

Amelia Flower Stem - Large
Polaroid Frames
Love that Smile Title


Firstly, for my title I inked the chipboard in a metallic matching ink 
and then roughly coloured over the top with a darker purple paint marker, 
it matches perfectly with the script/handwriting of the title.


Next, I coloured the Polaroid frame in with a black glitter marker to 
create a solid base for my photo cluster and to make the 
colours pop a little more on my next piece of chippie.


For next piece of chipboard 'Amelia Flower Stem', I decided to alter by
first painting it black, then while still wet dipping it in the liquid made
by adding water to my Nuvo shimmer powders. I used the same shimmer powders
on my background as well to add colour and dimension to my mandala.


You can see that shimmer and shine happening on the chippie!


Add a bit of metallic wax by smoothing over the black modelling paste and the black chipboard
with a make up sponge or a dauber. Last details ! add some hand cut butterflies from acetate and paper to add to the boho look of your layout. You could also add feathers or wire or beads as well.

That's it from me today! 

I hope you been inspired to try your very own Boho style layout complete with awesome Chipboard!

Hugs xx

Elisa

'This Boy' by Elisa Ablett - June Inspiration 2Crafty Chipboard

Hi 2Crafty lovers,

Elisa here from the design team with my the first of my June projects for you,
a grungy mixed media boy layout featuring loads of 2Crafty Chipboard along
with stencils from A.B.Studio, distress ink, Aall and Create stamps and old book paper.


Here are some close ups of the finer details !!


I wanted to distress and 'grunge up' my square frame, so using a distress tool and 
black distress ink pad, I lightly inked the frame. 
I also added yellow details using a yellow pico embellisher.


I love using compasses on boy pages and I wanted to add little pops of yellow and 
teal to the page, so I inked both the compass chipboard to match the background.


Loads of stamping and stencilling in the background.


For the title to my page I inked the chipboard title 'this boy' with a metallic silver ink.

Then once dry I inked the bottom of my title in a blue distress ink.


More grungy stencilling and stamping, and some scribbly writing with a black pico embellisher.

Tips for colouring your chipboard !

Tip 1 - use watercolour shimmer markers to colour your chipboard and 
add that layer of shimmer and shine.



Tip 2 - Use paint dabbers to create an ombre effect on your feather chippie pieces. 

Paint the top of the feather in one colour and then using the other paint dabber, 
colour the bottom of your feather and use the dabber to gently blend the two colours together. 


Tip 3 - Adding distressed foil accents to your chipboard pieces

Use a cheap glue stick and rub over your chippie pieces roughly. 
Using tweezers add foil flakes over the top of your glue areas. 
Let dry and then using a large stiff paintbrush, roughly brush
over the top of the chippie pieces, brushing off the excess foil leaving
distressed foil accents.
