''Believe...'' (in Christmas spirit) - A Layout for 2Crafty Chipboard with a Video Tutorial

Hello my scrapy friends!

Today, I will share with you two projects and two video tutorials, I made for December Inspiration at 2Crafty Chipboard. 

The first one is a Christmasy layout designed with 7dots studio papers from
''Homegrown'' collection and Prima Marketing flowers.

I have also made a VIDEO TUTORIAL with the procedure.

I based my layout on December challenges over at 7dots Studio 

and at More Than Words challenge blogs. The word ''Traditions'' made my thing of Santa Claus... and for something handmade I used two resin embellishments.  

2Crafty Chipboards used on this project...

Stellar Snowflakes
Mini Reindeers
Glenda's Swirl
Xmas Mini Word Pack

Some close ups...

To design my background I used modeling paste with two stencils. Because I wanted to make an extra texture and I heat embossed the modeling paste before it gets dry with the ''Purely White'' Lindy's powder. And... I loved the result!!!

Then, I colored the background with ''Rudolph's Nose Red'' and ''Peony Scarlet Red'' Lindy's Stamp Gang mists and made a few splatters of ''White'' 13arts Splash ink to make it look like it's snowy. 

I heat embossed the the title and the ''Glenda's Swirl'' chipboard with ''Queen Sheba's Silver'' Lindy's powder. The ''Stellar Snowflakes'' and the ''Mini Reindeer'' chippies were also embossed with ''Angel Wings Ruby''.  

When everything were glued down, I added ''Frosted'' mica flakes and silver microspheres with gel medium to give my layout a wintery frosted feeling.

A final touch with some more white splatters and my snowy background was ready.

 Thank you for stopping by...

...and stay tuned for the second layout...
