Me & Warren {2Crafty Design Team Work}

I posted my May shares as a Resident Guest Designer on the 2Crafty blog yesterday. I'm excited to share that I've been invited to join the design for the 2014/2015 term! Here's a new page I made to share using the fantastic 2Crafty chipboard.




 (Yes, that's Warren Beatty with my stepdad). This page was inspired by the current palette over at The Color Room:
 

In the close-up below, you can see the following2Crafty  products:

Film Strips - Medium

Alpha Set 1

ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars

Starts Multi Pack

Assorted Arrows Multi Pack

I cut the filmstrip in half and tucked each end beneath the layers in order to extend 

the length for this 9 x 9 page, painted it with black acrylic paint, and stitched it 

down with some embroidery floss. The filmstrip was a perfect accent for this

 movie star page, as were the stars, which I coated with gesso and then used

 Ranger enchanted gold embossing powder. I mixed a few colors of acrylic paint 

to match the palette and painted the chipboard letters and arrows. Once they dried,

 I outlined them with a fine pen.

In the next close-up, you can see:

Word Bubbles

This speech bubble is definitely cool, and I painted it to match the palette and then 

stamped it with black Distress Ink and again outlined it with a fine pen.

In the picture below, you can see an arrow from the set called...

Asst Arrows

I really wanted to use the "How Was Your Day?" tag, but it was quite large, and the red just overwhelmed the page. The arrow was the perfect thing to break up that large expanse of red.
