Inspirational Canvas -DT reveal for 2 Crafty and 13 Arts--Part 1

This Month, two of my DT reveals happened to be on the same day!! what better way to design for them than to combine their products. I must say that it was phenomenal to combine them. The 2 Crafty Chipboard Products worked so well with the 13 Arts mediums.

Here is my first creation this month:

"Love; inspirational canvas"

I created this canvas as a gift for a very special friend, who's taught me a lot this year and I thought what better way to thank her than to create something special from my heart. I found a very special quote that really resonated with the theme of the canvas.

To create the background, I glued some mesh onto the canvas. Then I used some pieces of 13 Arts papers and adhered them to the canvas using 13 Arts Gel Medium. 

I used lots of 2 Crafty chipboard shrubs: Set 1 and Set 2 which I first primed with 13 Arts gesso and then embossed with clear embossing powder. Finally I used a combination of gesso and 13 Arts Pearl Blue Sky ink to dab light blue over the leaves.

The picture above has a combination of two chipboard pieces: the Branch with Bird  and the hanging sign from the Garden Bench set. I also used the bench from the Garden Bench set in the picture below.

 

I added this cute little deer from the Prima Shabby Chic collection by Ingvild Bolme and some flowers from both Prima and Petaloo to match the 13 Arts papers.

Totally Rad Dude- Sketchbook 365 DT Challenge

Here is my first reveal for the sketch challenge at Sketchbook 365. 

I was really happy to join this DT, along some amazing scrapbooking designers.

Here is the June sketch which runs from May 17th to June 20th.

It is a very different layout from my usual as you might have already noticed. For starters I didn't use any flowers, not even cut out of paper. This is a truly flower-free layout and I'm quite impressed I was able to make it flowerless. I'm so obsessed with flowers that I really have to challenge myself not to use them.

This is a picture of my son, playing with some type of electronic device. Should I say that he's obsessed with them? that would be an understatement. This is how you can find him most of the time, his face buried in some electronic gadget. However I can't blame him, I'm glued to my phone and obsesses about it all the time. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, lol!!

Don't you love these Chipboard electronic gadgets from 2 Crafty. I thought they would be perfect for this picture. I also used some 2 Crafty Chevrons on the page and the loopy heart frame around the picture. All the 2 Crafty chipboard pieces were covered with Ingvild Bolme's Dark Bark fluid chalk ink by Prima.

For the background I stamped with some BoBunny stamps and inked a reverse chicken wire mask. I used both brown archival ink and brown fluid chalk ink respectively.

Magical Dreams

This is my sweet DD when she was a baby sleeping soundly!! I love those pudgy faces when they sleep and their cheeks are all scrunched up!! 

I used the Fariry Rhymes collection for this layout combined with some Lyric because it was perfect fit for this photo. 

I cut out 2 of the fairies from the Fariry Rhymes papers so I can surround the photo with them. It makes me think of how in fairy tales, fairies come in the middle of the night and protect you from harm. This is the feeling I get when I look at this LO, as if the fairies are protecting her while she sleeps.

I used some canvas resist butterflies which I painted in Shimmerz: My bleeding Heart.

This is actually my layout for the May Prima BAP. I mirrored the image to make it fit my design.

And the colors were inspired by the Yummy Palette for May at Scrap Friends

Now for some inspiration, my first layout!

"Days to Remember"

For this layout, I used all the pink tones from the C'est Magnifique June Kit.

I really wanted to mimic the cherry blossoms on this page, so I used the Crafter's Workshop Cherry Blossom mask to create the background. Then I embellished it with fussy cut flowers, the pink Prima vine, and pink Petaloo flowers and butterflies.

I love this picture of my DD lying on the couch with her bunny. She loves that bunny so much and loves to cuddle with him on the couch.

Born 2 Be Free-- Travel Album- Art Banderoli GD

This is the second layout I designed for the Travel album I've been creating for the Russian blog Art-Banderoli.

I just love all the creations I've made for this album. Even though I was hesitant to take such an en-devour, I'm so glad I did because I just love it!!

For this layout, I got inspired by the challenge at Once Upon a Sketch. The journaling challenge this month is to use numbers on the page. I used the number 2 in  my title and journaling.

I also made this LO for an inspirational challenge at Inkido. The challenge requires you to us at least 2 of either birds, feathers or birdcages. As you can see I used birds and a birdcage on this layout too.

I really love these pictures I took of my DD running freely at the beach!! She seems so happy so free. She's one of those spirits that was born to be free, to run freely without anyone telling her what to do!! Too bad society has made so many rules for us to follow which limits her freedom. However she's truly a free spirit.

I loved combining these Grey Maja Designs papers with the aqua colors. As aqua is one of my favorite colors I just loved using it on this page. Look at this amazing Prima flower!! don't you just love it??

I've also used my last Purity vine!! and you can't buy them anywhere. If anyone has them and wants to sell them to me I'd be willing to buy them from you!!
