Your Special Day February 3rd Layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** + Playing along challenge #101 at ***ScrapAndMe***!

Hello sweet friends, 

I am so excited that you are here with me today as I bring some inspiration. For this occasion I created a layout with a picture of my beautiful niece Merel. Merel just turned 19 on the 3rd of February and she is one year and four days older then Kevin who just turned 18 on the 7th. I made this layout as a present for her. I was inspired by a color challenge on Facebook but I did not have time to enter the challenge.

I have used a whole bunch of chipboard pieces as I really love to combine them. All the pieces are treated with one layer of white gesso. Lately I really love to color my chipboard pieces with spray paint and then add some waxes or rust paste. 

The white chipboard pieces you see on my work are treated with two layers of white embossing powder. I also did a lot of machine stitching on my layout and  I have used some rub ons and flowers from three different manufacturers. 

With this layout I will be entering this months challenge at the ScrapAndMe blog this month it's all about adding a heart to your work as it is the month of love. 

For this layout I have used two ScrapAndMe collections named: 

Aquarelles and

Forever Treasure this Day heart canvas for ***2Crafty Chipboard***

 Hello fellow creative souls, 

I am so excited that you are here with me today as I bring you some new inspiration. For this occasion I created a heart canvas for my co-worker. Her daughter went to Curaçao with her aunt & grandmother last August and her dream came true which was swimming with the dolphins. She & I just really love the pictures they took so she asked me if I could make something for her so I did.

The background that I created here took a couple of days since I love it when it dries & crackles naturally. I also used a couple of stencils on my background and some sprays and waxes.

All the chipoard pieces are treated with either acrylic paint, spray paint, rust paste and waxes. I really love the effect that paste makes on the chippies in the end I added some wishing bubbles & art stones. 

Sure hope you like my canvasses as much as I love making them. 

Stay happy & creative much
