in case you have missed it

Today I want to share with you my new projects for 2 Crafty chipboard  blog.

I made an informative post on the techniques I have used on these fabylous chippie, so I just copied it from the blog post.

Сегодня хочу показать вам странички, которые я делала для блога 2Crafty chipboard. Ноябрь для меня тяжкий месяц, я его , честно говоря, ненавижу за сырость, темноту, тусклость и вообще у меня начинается зимний депрессняк. так что первая страничка это моя борьба с этими серыми красками, вторая страничка , все-таки подверглась влиянию осеннему, так что не судите строго.

все техники расписаны на английском, в двух словах, все просто. все покрыто грунтом или кракле , а затем все чпокалось акриловыми красками. кое-где края затонированы чернилами меловыми.

November is a very hard month for me to bear. It is too dull, too dark, too rainy, too cold in my part of the world. So I am struggling with this awful mood and here is my bright projects but still under November's influence for you.

The first one is called
Mother & Daughter
Yes, you are right , I love to use our photos in my projects

I decided to maintain the color palette used in Prima's papers and flowers, so I have a delightful pleasure to be warmed with this turquoise blue and peach shadows. But I wanted to add some shabby colors too, so I kept  the white accents on the chipboard.



I used the title Mother & Daughter

 I covered it with white Crackle Paint, then dabbed with acrylic paint in blue, turquoise and guava. I used a sponge to make some random spots.  Then I mounted some flowers on it, just wrapping them over the alphas.

 
The same technique I used on a 
Bunch of roses

I just added flowers to it, to add  more texture to create a bouquet.



 

Also I tried to keep a more visible crackle effect on 

ATC Georgian Frame

and just added the ink on the edges.

I used it as a padding for the resin embellishment



I kept the blue colors on the Birdcage 1 too.

For my second layout I used autumn colors. 

  I have started randomly gessoing the chipboard. Then I added some acrylic paint with a sponge and a metallic acrylic paint with my brush

 



Birds on a Wire,

I cut them and the other part I have already used on the other project

Penny Farthing 

 I placed a big flower on it, which was gessoed too 

I wanted to add some rusty look on Old Fence, so I painted it roughly with a dry brush and
 the edges on the Miniature tree were inked with the chalk ink 

I used the same techniques on

Grass Clumps

For this LO I used the sketch from Once Upon a Skecth 

which I flipped over 90 degrees.
My journaling is hidden and written on the rolled piece of a paper under the wheel.
as the theme of this month is Anything goes, I described my hubbie's life and his principles in this LO. He knows what I mean.

TFW

Those Were the Days

In case you have missed it on 2Crafty blog.

"Those Were the Days"

  This time I decided to experiment using techniques that I rarely 

do on chipboard, but they are worth a try.

  So the first LO is called Those Were The Days. 

 Spring is coming in Australia, but in Europe it is Fall.

 That is why I look at these pictures that were taken this spring &summer 

and miss those sunny warm days so much. I have to confess

 that I hate winter, and this is why  I decided to extend 

 summer in my projects.

  So I took many paints and mediums and 

started playing.

while I was playing with 2Crafty chipboard pieces and realized that the Outdoor Range from Flourish With A Bling is the best match for this LO. So I took the FWAB Nicky’s Beach Huts and FWAB Up In the Sky

  Then I covered all the chipboard pieces with Gesso.

 Then I began to add some variations.

   So I took the Frame Scallop Circle Borders

 The pink one I just covered with Glaze paint, and the blue one,

 I covered with blue acrylic paint, then drew some doodles with a Pearl Pen. 

After it was dried I added  twine over it and drew the dots with 

Pearl Pen Teal.  I love this puffy effect.

  I decided to pop up the Title too and tried this Pearl Pen

 on Those Were The Days Title.

Before the final pearl Pen step, I added several layers of Glaze paint.

and then I realized that I want just wanted to draw.

  So Ana's Vine is the best way to experiment

 with this.

  I covered it with Gesso, then added 2 green colors of

 Metallic Lumiere paint. After that I covered the leaves and the flowers 

with some acrylic paint and glaze paint.

Finally I took my black marker and drew. I even managed to draw a tulip.

 Finally I decided to add Pearl Pen and liquid Pearls too.

You can see the dimension there:

  This summer my daughter received a mountain bicycle on her Birthday

 ( by the way, there are no  mountains in Belarus, lol),

 but she was very happy to have such a cool bike

Before that she had  been very happy with her scooter ( in this photo).

  I decided to add Mini bicycle as the reminder. and you know,

 I'm still singing the song by Queen * I want to ride my bicycle*.

"Beautiful"

 On my second Layout I tried out  some decoupage techniques.

 I took a tissue with floral print and covered the Chinese Lanterns with it.

 I used to do some decoupage projects in the past 

so I have tons of different tissues, so I tried them out  on chipboard.

  I suppose they refresh the LO. what do you think?

Also I decided to add something from the FWAB New Release and

Surely I am talking about FWAB Elise Flourish Antique Brown , and I use Antique Brown Mustard and Brown flowers. They add some vintage look to the LO and I love this effect

and this Chinese theme followed me while I was using

 Fay's Flourishes.

 I covered them with Gesso, then misted with blue Starburst mist 

and embossed with a stamp using Antiquites embossing powder

 for a shabby effect.

and I love how the rhinestones change their color depending on the light

I then  added my favourite 2 Crafty  Skeleton Leaves,

 just slightly misted.

and gorgeous flowers from Manor House Creations

2Crafty chipboards and more

3 days ago there was a first post reveal on 2Crafty blog, today I'm going to share it with you on my blog, and also I've made one new card, using 2Crafty Bird cage chipboard.

з дня тому назад был опубликван мой первый пост в блоге 2Crafty blog. 

Сегодня я публикую его здесь и плюс еще одну новую открытку.

Это страничка история отношений между мной и моей дочкой. здесь заголовок из чипборда - Мама - это особенный друг. Думаю те, кто имеют дочек поймут, как важно установить со своим ребенком такие вот отноешния. 

 

  My first LO is a story about me and my darling daughter. When she was born I was very happy that now I will have  a girl, friend, and did all my best to establish such a relationship that will last during my life. Yes, I want to be *A special Kind of Friend to my daughter.*

  When I received my Scraps of Darkness last month I was waiting for a special photo, and after that for a special framing, and I have found it. It is the 
Flowery Swirl Frame.

  First I embossed with the powders slightly,just some spots, misted it. then I inked it  and added Stickles.

I  still wasn't completely happy  with the results, and in such cases my helper is Gesso. so I dabbed some on here & there.

 I have decorated it with flowers, ribbon and lace. and now  it is a perfect framing for our photo.

  Then I embossed the title with powders, inked. and then, my new tip, I covered it with Crackle paint. You may ask me, why I used the powder? the answer it- to add more texture and dimension
 Just try it, and I know, you will be pleased.

 I've cut the title A Mother is a Special Kind of Friend into 2 parts.

 I have one more good friend, and I've made a Birthday Card for her using the

 2 Crafty

 Coffee Catchup

 First I embossed it with clear powder and then I began playing with some Starburst mists, as I love the sparkling that they produce. one more tip for you: I do not like to waste a  drop of ink and mist, so I 've misted over the second sheet of paper which I then used for the inner part of my card to write the congratulations on.

Эта открытка для другой соей подруги, и я просто в восторге от этого чипборда. он просто передает все то, что нам так нужно в друзьях. 
кстати, я сбрызнула спреем чипборд сразу над вторым листом, который послужил оформлением для внутренней стороны открытки, где я и написала поздравление.

 One more Layout,  this is a story about a hot summer day,  a month ago. We were christening my new born son and it was a very hot day, but in the church everything was so calm and  fresh, so I decided to express this  in my LO.

I have used there the sketch from Once Uppon a Sketch

 and here is a hidden journaling , where I express the feeling about the church silence.

This is a DT work for Scraps of Darkness and August Kit Jamaican Sunset, featuring The ScrapCake Summer City Collection. I used the flowers form the Flora Add On and the Studio Calico Huey's Mask - Chevron and Mists from Lindy's.

 I have used two different  pieces of  chipboard, and  I like the final eclectic style that I have achieved. I've started with the Blossom Spray,

which I covered with Gesso, then misted with Mango and inked the edges with blue. After that I stamped the flower theme on it.

Next  I added Tahnya's border,

which I covered in the spots with thick Gesso and added some spots of acrylic paint

 I have also added Skeleton leaves which I again  covered with Gesso and misted.

I put also some powder on Heidi's Vine and inked those edges too.

 Thanks for calling by today, and I hope that you will find more inspiration  from our talented Design Team.

and one more card for Belarusian Challenge blog, 

 

This is my DT sample. I used there Birdcage1, which I covered with Gesso and Lumiere Metallic Acrylic paint, which was at the Creativity Add on from Scraps of Darkness

here it is a palette for inspiration

В Первом белорусском грибная палитра, присоединяйтесь.

Creative Scrappers #223 Reveal

Again Sunday, and one more reveal of a wonderful sketch from Creative Scrappers 223.

  Снова воскресенье и снова новый скетч от  Creative Scrappers 223.

and here is a sketch:

  This time I have chosen The ScrapCake papers, that were in Jamaican Kit (August) from Scraps of Scraps of Darkness. It is Summer City collection and it fits very well your summer pics.
However this time Scraps of Darkness has an awesome Color Add On Kit

Для этой странички я выбрала бумагу от The ScrapCake, которая была в Августовском наборе от  Scraps of Darkness Jamaican Sunset. Это коллекция Summer City и она идеально подходит для ваших летних фото.
 Кроме того, в этот раз у Scraps of Darkness замечательный дополнительный  набор , в который входит мист от Lindy's, Пудры для эмбоссинга, фоновый штамп треснувшего стекла и жидкий жемчуг.

and a new addition for your mixed media attempts - Creativity Add On 

а с этого месяца появился еще один дополнительный набор в стиле Mixed Mediа

  I'm working on this canvas project right now, but for this LO I used Gesso and Modelling paste to created stencilled branches and cages

я сейчас как раз работаю над этим , а вот гессо и моделирующую пасту  использовала для этой стринички при создании веток и птичьих клеток

  But before that I have been playing with ctreating my background, I've misted it with Lindy's Flat Fabio mists, then  stamped Stain Glass and embossed it with Ranger Puff Powder, it add texture and dimension, you can have a look at it:

 Но в начале я вдовль поэкспериментировала над созданием фона, в ход пошли спреи из дополнительного и основного наборов, затем проштампила фон и с помощью пудры создала текстурный эффект.

and I really love these photos, so funny

а эти фотки я просто обожаю, такие смешные

 

I hope you enjoy my take on the sketch, we are waiting for your projects and for your creativity too.

Надеюсь, вам понравилась моя интерпретация скетча, мы с радостью ждем ваши проекты.
