'Sunshine & Blue Skies' 2Crafty Chipboard

Hello all!
I am here today to share some 2Crafty inspiration with you.
As we have just started SPRING (my personal favourite ;)) in our part of the world,
I thought something bright and fun would be ideal!

Sunshine and Blue Skies

2Crafty Products used:

For this layout, I have started with a bit of
a colourful splash around on my page.

I have then built up my layers,

 including one of the 'Leafy Shrub Set 2' designs,

that I have finished in a bright multicolour of paints,

 coordinated with my papers.

I have also used one of the 'Fern Leaf Set',

that I have finished in aqua paint to match. 

I have also used one of the 'Charlotte Flowers',

that I have finished in bright pink paint. 
I love how delicate these flowers are, and so pretty!

Finally, I have used the 'Sunshine & Blue Skies' title,

that I have painted in a two-tone yellow and aqua, 

to match my layout.

I love how these pieces can bring sunshine to a page!

I hope that you like what I have created,

and that this brings you some sunshine wherever you are!

Until next time!

'Steampunk Octopus' inspired by Antonis Tzanidakis for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hello all!
I am here today to share some inspiration with you.
I was lucky enough to recently attend a mixed media class at Shelley's Land,
 with the oh so talented, and hilarious, Antonis Tzanidakis.

I learnt some fabulous techniques and created a gorgeous steampunk seahorse panel.
I have created this octopus panel with the same style and theme
 so that I can hang them in my art room.
For this panel, I used some of the fabulous new
2Crafty industrial steampunk designs. 

I am so happy with how this turned out that I just had to share it with you all!

2Crafty Products used:

I have used some of the awesome 'Industrial Pipes/Mechanics' that I have painted red,

and then used an antiquing paste to distress. 

I have also used some of the 'Steampunk Gears Medium' and 'Steampunk Gears Small',

that I have finished in either red or brown to suit the theme.

I have also used a couple of the 'Giant Gears' to use in my background,
also painted red and distressed.

I have also used some of the 'Industrial Light Bulbs' and 'Industrial Spring Set',

that I have finished with the same technique.

I am in love with these panels and I just love Antonis' style of mixed media,

if you can get to one of his classes I highly recommend it.
I am such a fan girl, that I suggest you don't walk, but run if you can :)

Along with the awesome new industrial designs,
the perfect combination of steampunk.

I hope that you like what I have created.

Until next time!
