Boho Dreams

Boho Dreamcatcher.

Hello and Welcome

I hope your April has been a creative one.

This month I have created a dreamcatcher and a layout using Scrapmatts products.

 

Lets start with the Dreamcatcher.

I used the beautiful Indigo Skies range from Kaisercraft. 

I actually completed this Dreamcatcher for their challenge last month.

This is the front and back of my dream catcher.

Front View

The butterflies are cut from the Indigo Skies Paper Collection. I fussy cut them from the sheet.

Chipboard used is from Scrapmatts.

Flowers are from 49 and Market, Kaisercraft, Green Tara and my own stash.

The metal butterfly is from Finnabair.

Tags are from Kaisercraft's Off the Wall Collectables.

Polaroid frame is from Kmart's craft section.

The paint swatches are from Bunnings. I picked them up for another challenge but they worked perfectly as the background colour for my photo mat.

Again I have embellished with butterflies from Indigo Skies

 Precious Layout

I have used the new Sage and Grace from Kaisercraft.

The colours are so beautiful. 

 Here I have used the Roses CB2023 Stem and then I have embellished with the collectables and a Green Tara flower.

I have used versa ink Umber to colour the chipboard.

I have used the butterfly stencil here with some texture paste.

I have sprayed the layout with Tattered Angels Creme de Chocolat

 The word is from the Assorted words 07 - CB6071

I have coloured with the Umber ink.

I have stamped the layout with Pinecone ink using the Botanical stamp from Kaisercraft.

Here are the products I have used for this layout.

Ahoy There

 Ahoy There Me Hearties!!!

Wow I can't believe that we are in November already. This year really has gone way too quickly. 

I hope your Christmas plans are coming together....mine haven't even started!!

I have had time to do a little scrapbooking and this is my latest project that I would like to share with you all.

This layout features photo's from a cruise my husband and I took last year through South East Asia with Princess Cruises.

The wheel was the perfect frame for our photo.

I have also used the CB6095 - Assorted Words 18.

With these clusters of collectables I have used the CB6071 - Assorted Words 07 for the titles.

 The lighthouse, compass, life ring and steering wheel (sorry don't know the technical term) are from the CB4059 - Nautical Designs 03 set.

To create this look on the background I have used the ST1016 - Tyre Track Stencil.

These are the chipboard pieces I have used on my layout.

Stencil Fun - Lauren Tomecek

I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to find out Scrapmatts was expanding into stencils! Stencils are probably my second favourite scrapbooking item, after chipboard of course. :) They can be used in so many different ways and create so many different effects. I've used them a couple of different ways in this blog post and hope I've inspire you to pick up a few for yourself from their online shop.

 

 

First up, I created this canvas display piece. I had been saving this idea for a while now and the brick stencil was the last item I needed to make it happen. I applied texture paste through the stencil over the whole canvas, the different way the paste absorbs the mist makes for some great definition of the shapes. I then built up the scene with various chipboard pieces painted with acrylics.

 

 

Chipboard used: CB5137 Ornate Toppers 01, CB2026 Picket Fences 09, CB4058 Australian Federation Detail 03, CB5120 Windows 04, CB1146 Leaf Spray 01, CB2020 Vines 01, CB6071 Assorted Words 07.

Stencil: ST5013.

 

 

 

The stencils are also perfect for using to create backgrounds on cards. I whipped up this one for my husband for Valentine's Day. I used the diamonds stencil to add a subtle white gesso pattern and then misted over the paint splatters in two different colours.

 

Chipboard used: CB5113 Heart Frames 10, CB1199 Scrap Words 07.

Stencils: ST1002, ST5010.

 

 

This one has a wash of gesso for the background then the smaller paint splatters stencil in two colours. I love the random effect they give whilst in actual fact giving you total control of where the colour ends up.

Stencil: ST1009 Stencil Paint Drips

 

Don't forget that Scrapmatts is having a Design Team Call at the moment. Entries close on the 19th so you'll need to get a wriggle on but we would love to see you join the team!

Two layouts!

Hello everyone! Id like to share two layouts I made with Scrapmatts chipboard
For the first of them I used a sketch from Stuck Sketches, loved working with it!!

Chipboard used:CB5114 String Circles 01, CB4063 Leaf Spray 13, CB1019 Card Borders 02, CB6071 Assorted Words 07 

And the second one, in which I used lots of chipboards painted with walnut acrylic paint. 

Chipboard used: CB2008 Page Borders 07, CB4060 Ornate Frames 17, CB1220 Ornate Frames 22, CB1168 Assorted Words 10 

Two layouts and a card

Hi everyone! I have a few works I'd like to share, all of them using Scrapmatts chipboards

For this page I decided to use the gorgeous rose vine chipboard CB2023 Roses 01 , which I really love. I also added a butterfly from the set CB4007 Frames 02, and for the title I used CB6071 Assorted Words 07. 

In this layout I used a gorgeous swirl frame (CB4007 Frames 02) and the butterflies included in the same set, painted with white acrylic paint and stamped with a script stamp. I also used a border chippie at the bottom (CB6043 Card Borders 05)

Finally, I made this easel card and used some pretty chipboards to embellish it (CB1004 Flourishes 05 and CB1220 Ornate Frames 22)
