Remember, a vintage layout by Karine

Dear crafty friends,

It's my turn today to share my second inspiration for this month. I created a vintage layout called «Remember». Here it is.

On the picture, my father's parents with seven of his older siblings. 

After a coat of clear gesso, I used a stencil with Salt of the Earth Paste-Eez. I love the matte finish on this texture paste. I dried it with my heat tool.

To add colors, I used Glorious Day Vibez, Don't Be Suede Coloringz and See Ya Latte' Spritz. For each color, I proceed the same way: I dipped my paint brush in the ink and flickered some color here and there and then, dried it with a heat tool.

I used some Oh Fudge AcriTonez to paint my squared chipboards pieces (the Checkerboard Clumps and the Messy Square Frame from 2Crafty Chipboard).

Finally, I covered my title piece (the «Remember» word that comes in the Friendship Mini Word Pack from 2Crafty Chipboard) with white gesso and when it was dried, I painted it with Glorious Day Vibez.

Today Is Perfect, a brown layout with Karine

Hi,

It's Karine here again to share another layout using the beautiful products we released a few days ago. 

Today Is Perfect

I was going for a monochromatic look. I used A Little Nutty Paste-Eez on my background.I sprayed a little bit of water on it to see how much it would bleed, but unless I used a brush, the color paste kept its shape. It's really the perfect product to use with a stencil because it goes on so smoothly AND it doesn't bleed. That's fabulous.

To add color to the background, I used See Ya Latte' Spritz. The effect is subtle, but I thought it unified everything. 

To add color to my chipboards (the smallest from the 6'' Clock Faces Frames set, one Frames Tiny Henri's and Today Is Perfect title from 2Crafty Chipboard), I used Oh Fudge AcriTonez. I like the AcriTonez because this paint eliminates the need to put some gesso before.

I left my clock frame chipboard (the largest from the 6'' Clock Faces Frames set bare, though.
