By The Sea created by Rhonda

Hello Scrapmatts Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors...

I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to be chosen as one of the very talented New Design Team Members for my very favourite chipboard companies,

My first project is By the Sea
I started my first project off by using the pearlised Dew Drop Inks sold at ScrapmattsI coloured all the chipboard pieces then used a thin coat of crackle medium to give them all a 3D textured look... 
In the mean time I took a piece of cardboard and used a scalpel to cut shapes out of the top layer of the cardboard to create the background to make it look a bit like waves, I then covered the cardboard with white Dylusions ink and once dry I mixed some acrylic blue paint and water and sprayed that over the dried ink, I was happy with the results as it turned out like a crazed look... 
I then glued all the chipboard pieces where I wanted them then added some 
real shells to finish it off... 
So there you have it, my first project is complete... 
To find the chipboard pieces I have used for this project they are as follows... CB1221Nautical Designs 04   CB1226 Marine Life 01  CB6064 Nautical Designs 01 and CB4067 Marine Life 02...

For my second project I couldn't wait to use the new stencils...  
For this project I gessoed a canvas, then brushed on some acrylic paints, I then used some modelling paste and used the the Stars Stencil to get the added affect of stars in the early evening...
I then used the Tyre Tracks stencil to show my son's 4WD driving a long the beach.
I inked the chipboard pieces I wanted to use...
I used the small CB5122 Hexagon Mesh and CB5131 Bubbles 01...
  
So there you have it my first 2 projects created...

Thanks for stopping by, make sure you come back soon to see what the rest of the New Design team have been creating.


Until next time!

Rhonda
