Scrapmatts: ch059

Chalk it Up

Hello and Welcome to July

Today I'm on the blog to share with you my DT projects for the month.

First up I have a Chalkboard that I have decorated with Scrapmatts Chipboard.

This chalkboard can be found in Kmart for the grand total of $5.00. What a Bargain!!!

This is the first side of the board.

Here I have attached the Scrapmatts butterfly and to decorate I have added some Kaisercraft Pearls and covered in glossy accents.

This is the other side of the board.

On this side I have added another butterfly.

The chipboard vine behind the flowers are also from Scrapmatts.

For the next project I have made a 4x6 canvas art.

To add texture to the base, I have used the Cobblestone stencil and then used some snow paste.

I coloured the canvas with mini distress ink Mowed Lawn.

The vines are coloured with Brilliance Gold Ink.

These very cute words are from the Scrapmatts Scrap Words.

This little charm is also from Scrapmatts.

All flowers used in these projects are from 49 and Market.

To add the sparkle to the canvas, I have used the sparkle pen from Close to my Heart.

Good Times Packaging Tags

OMG.....It's already April, where do these months go?

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL

This month I was inspired by my friend Rosalie to use up my packaging tags. I recently attending a Scrap Retreat and she was sitting next to me and was using her packaging to create some amazing mixed media art.

I was so impressed and thought "I have some of those packaging pieces at home" just sitting in a draw, as I thought to myself "I'll use those one day".

So this month I have created two packaging tags to share with you.

This is the first tag.

The base is a Prima Marketing package. It had a collage of words on it.

To create the background I have covered it with clear gesso and used modelling paste with the Lattice and Gears Stencils.

For the colours I used Kaisercraft Mists in Antique Gold, Coffee and Turquoise.

I then embellished the tag with Scrapmatts charms, Finnabair Mechanicals and Metal embellishments.

I finished the tag by applying a chipboard word and using Finnabair's Rust Paste.

The embellishment at the top of the wings is an old watch face.

Add a few micro beads for bling and I was very happy with the end result.

This is the second tag I have created using Tim Holtz packaging.

This tag features Scrapmatts charms, chipboard and stencils.

To create the background I have used modelling paste with the Diamond stencil and then layered the chipboard in the pattern I liked and then added the Finnabair Metal Embellishment with the wing charm from Scrapmatts.

I then used Kaisercraft mists, rust paste and micro beads to add colour and texture.

Here I have added some metal charms and mechanicals.

Word Chipboard added here with Believe charm.

To give the effect of wings from the back of the metal embellishment I have used the skeleton leaves.

To finish the tag off I used some Kaisercraft Charcoal ink and dripped along the sides and finished with white gesso flicks and micro beads and powder.
